Today's MENO Moment is brought to you by the letter N.
N is for "Neck Headphone Thingies".
Also known as... a stethoscope.
I was talking with my husband and trying to describe something. I knew exactly what it was. I could see it in my mind.
Could I find the actual word? Nope. Lost in my overcrowded hard drive.
So what came out was: "Neck headphone thingy." He knew what I meant, shouldn't I at least get partial credit?
Menopause: When you find yourself describing the thing because the word itself has gotten lost like an index card in the library card catalog (Gen X knows what I'm talking about). Sometimes the word comes back in 10 seconds, sometimes 10 minutes, sometimes not until 3 a.m. when you suddenly sit straight up in bed and shout it out loud, startling anyone who is in the room.
What's the funniest substitute word or phrase your brain has come up with lately?

Whether it's a new job, parenthood, peri/menopause, or something else, hypnosis helps unlock doors to the subconscious, heal old wounds and get to the root of - and change - old, nonfunctional coping mechanisms, and more!

I learned so many amazing things, met so many amazing people and reconnected with other incredible hypnotists at the IACT/IMDHA conferences last week! So much to share with you as soon as I have got some of it "marinated" into my own brain!
Meanwhile, in a spare moment, I grabbed a couple new "resistance" tea cups. Grogu and my Yogi tea advise: "Never regret your mistakes. Admire the courage it took to attempt the unknown."
What have you learned from your courageous moments that may not have turned out the way you planned?
What's the new normal for peri to post menopause?
A friend asked me about the title of my webinar about the peri to post-menopause era: "We're Done Calling This Normal". She wondered what a more hopeful normal would look like. Based on my experience and what we know so far, here's my answer.

So, here is an UPDATED QR code, so you can join me LIVE for free on Friday the 13th at 7 pm for some real conversation about menopause.
Have you heard of BPPV? (A type of vertigo) And that the person most likely to have it has or had a uterus and is in the peri to post menopausal age range?
While I can't diagnose or treat this symptom, I can help you regulate your nervous system so you can confidently advocate for yourself when these weird symptoms throw you for a loop.

Look what I did! I created a QR code so you can easily register for my FREE Friday, March 13, 2026 webinar "We're Done Calling This Normal" A real conversation about midlife, hormones, identity: and why ignoring it or just pushing through isn’t working.
If you are/were the owner/operator of ovaries and/or a uterus and are in peri to post-menopause (or aren't sure if you are), you need to set aside this time for yourself.
"Real talk" is not a euphemism, and I promise it won't be boring. I won't leave you without tools to help navigate this change with at least a modicum of sanity.
And yes, I will talk about hypnosis, so this is a perfect chance to get some info. If you think hypnosis is about relaxation, it's not.
It’s about:
• Nervous system regulation
• Emotional processing
• Pain modulation
• Repatterning stress responses
When hormones shift, your nervous system works harder.
Hypnosis helps it recalibrate.
Sign up! Let's have a full house on Friday the 13th!

This is why midlife can feel so strange.
Suddenly you’re tired in ways that caffeine doesn’t fix.
More reactive than you used to be.
Wondering why the strategies that worked for decades don’t seem to land anymore.
This isn’t a personal failure.
Hormonal shifts affect the brain — and the brain affects everything else.
The good news: there are ways to work with that system instead of fighting it.
That’s what I’ll be talking about in my upcoming webinar on March 13th. Sign up to join us for free!
