Have you noticed that noise feels louder, busy places feel overwhelming, or multitasking suddenly feels impossible? During perimenopause and menopause, many women experience something called nervous system overload — but it’s rarely talked about.

In this podcast, I share 5 common signs your nervous system may be overwhelmed during menopause, why hormonal changes (especially fluctuating oestrogen) can affect your stress response and sensory processing, and simple things that can help calm your system. If you’ve been feeling overstimulated, anxious in busy environments, or unusually tense, this episode will help you understand why.
