Perhaps you’re in the menoshift™
I understand taking care of yourself, your tasks and your business can be a struggle when going through the perimenopause, menopause and post-menopause – the three stages of the menoshift. But there is another way! Discover ways to flourish with my book, DOING intentionally: How to take care of your business through brain fog, anxiety and overwhelm during the menoshift™
“A must read for all female leaders.”

Let’s take a look at each symptom
Brain fog
Brain fog makes it difficult to think clearly, concentrate and recall important details at the right time. This is hugely frustrating.
Anxiety
Anxiety adds worrisome feelings in your head and all over your body that can make organising and beginning complex tasks and projects feel like a massive hurdle.
Overwhelm
Overwhelm could be described as a feeling of being weighed down and action-paralysis. This can be worsened by having tasks scattered about or in your head.
When combined, these menoshift symptoms can make you feel frazzled
In the midst of my menoshift, I found brain fog, anxiety and overwhelm, coupled with unpredictable changes in energy levels and mood made looking after my tasks more difficult and frustrating. Combine all three symptoms and you too might be feeling frazzled!
Brain fog + Anxiety
Difficult to think clearly and worries that don’t dissipate.
Brain fog + Overwhelm
Difficult to think clearly and feel weighed down.
Anxiety + Overwhelm
Worries that don’t dissipate and feel weighed down.
Brain fog + Anxiety + Overwhelm = Frazzled!
Difficult to think clearly, worries that don’t dissipate and feel weighed down.
Stop feeling frazzled!

Hello, I’m Karen Currier
During the perimenopause stage of my menoshift™ I was running a business with my partner but struggled to keep going due to the many different menoshift symptoms that changed how I felt and what I could do.
I’m now over 10 years post menopause and have some understanding of what you may be experiencing. I recognise that the troublesome trio of brain fog, anxiety and overwhelm can play havoc with your wellbeing and sometimes your belief in yourself to continue to grow thriving businesses.
I hope that by sharing the 7 principles of DOING with you, you’ll be able to make some changes to how you take care of your tasks, to lessen the impact of brain fog, anxiety and overwhelm. And that you’ll be kind to yourself first and develop wonderful businesses to inspire others!
How to buy the book

In addition, her personal journey will help you be kinder to yourself and find a gentler path to success.”
