You’re Not Forgetful — You’re Overloaded: The Hidden Cognitive Burnout Crisis for Women Healers O...

Send us your thoughts! (https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/tex...)


Are you a brilliant woman healer over 50 who keeps forgetting why you walked into a room, blanking on names you absolutely know, or questioning if something is wrong with your brain? 


Before you panic, this episode will show you exactly why your memory slips are not a sign of decline but a sign your cognitive load has been pushed past human limits. If you’re exhausted, overwhelmed, and wondering why your brain feels unreliable, this conversation will finally make sense of what you’ve been carrying.

In this episode, I break down the real reason so many women healers in midlife experience decision fatigue, forgetfulness, and mental fog. You’ll learn how burnout, compassion fatigue, chronic stress, and the hormonal shifts of perimenopause and menopause directly affect your prefrontal cortex, working memory, attention, and your ability to recall basic information. This isn’t failure. It’s physiology. And you’re not alone.

You’ll hear what current neuroscience reveals about cognitive overload among professional helpers, including how your brain triages information for survival when you’re managing clients, patients, aging parents, family systems, responsibilities at work, and the invisible pressure to appear “on” 24/7. We go deep into why women over 50 are disproportionately impacted and why forgetting small things is actually your nervous system protecting you.

Here’s what you’ll take away today:



• Why women healers over 50 experience memory glitches even though you’re still brilliant at clinical reasoning
• The neuroscience behind cognitive load, working memory limits, and decision fatigue
• How burnout and compassion fatigue amplify forgetfulness and overwhelm
• Why perimenopause and menopause biologically change memory, attention, and recall
• The emotional toll of believing you should be flawless, sharp, and superhuman
• How shame worsens cognitive symptoms and how to release it
• The nervous-system truth that your brain is prioritizing survival, not failing
• What to do each day to regain clarity, reduce overwhelm, and protect your cognitive capacity

You’ll walk away with the reframe every woman healer over 50 deserves: your brain is not declining. It’s overworked. You are not broken. You are overloaded. And the fix is not working harder. It’s reducing what drains you, reclaiming your energy, and honoring what your nervous system is trying to tell you.
