Episode 16 - Midlife Memory Fog: Is This Normal?

Why did I walk into this room? What was I saying? And… how many kids do I have again?

In this episode of The Midlife Mud, we talk all things midlife memory—forgetfulness, brain fog, and the anxiety that creeps in with it. From personal slip-ups to honest talk about Alzheimer’s fears, we explore what’s actually happening in our brains and how stress, hormones, and multitasking play a role.

It’s less about fixing it and more about naming it, sometimes reframing it, and of course, realizing we’re not the only ones.
