Feeling Scattered or Like You Lost Yourself? 

June 09, 20253 min read

Here’s What Might Be Happening…

Ever walked into a room and completely forgotten why you were there? Or opened the fridge and stood staring like it held life’s answers—only to realize you’ve no clue what you’re doing? Or maybe you’ve snapped at your partner, your kids, or the dog before 9am… and then felt that wash of guilt and overwhelm.

These aren’t just “off” moments.
They’re quiet signals. Your body and mind waving little red flags saying,
“We need a breather here!”


What It Can Look Like (Even If You’re “Holding It Together”)

When life is packed full—your calendar, your cupboards, your mind—it starts to show up in subtle but exhausting ways:

Brain Fog
About 60% of women experience brain fog during perimenopause and menopause—difficulty concentrating, cloudy thinking, memory slips—that can feel alarming and disruptive;

Forgetfulness
One major study found that over 63% of midlife women reported “not feeling like myself” at least half the time in the past three months—a phrase that often captures fatigue, overwhelm, and forgetfulness..

Irritability
Feeling snappy or on edge—your patience is wearing thin and if feels like everything is a big deal and your frustration goes from zero to ten in 10 seconds.

Disconnection
You miss yourself—the calm, clear, more joyful version of you who doesn’t feel buried under mental and emotional clutter.

You might even find yourself saying:
💭
“My house, my schedule, my brain — it all feels cluttered and overwhelming.”
💭 “My energy is so inconsistent — I’m either running at 110% or completely wiped out—there’s no in-between.

These are more than thoughts—they’re signals that something deeper needs attention.


This May Be Midlife Talking—And That’s Okay

If these feelings have crept in more lately—or hit like a freight train—you’re not imagining it.
Midlife can bring hormone shifts, life transitions, and evolving relationships. Nearly 60% of women experience changes in mood, cognition, or sleep during menopause—and those physical shifts can show up emotionally, too.

It’s no wonder your mind feels foggy and your emotions feel like they’re riding a roller coaster without a seatbelt.

Here’s the truth: you’re not failing. You’re simply navigating a new season—and sometimes that means reaching for a gentler, more supportive way forward.


It’s Time to Come Back to You

Holistic coaching offers that support without needing a dramatic overhaul. You just need a reset—a calm, loving way to clear the noise and reconnect with yourself.

In my coaching program, we gently:

✔️ Declutter physical and mental spaces
✔️ Build daily rhythms tailored to
your life
✔️ Create small habits that bring consistency without stress
✔️ Reclaim your energy and emotional balance step by step

We start with tiny shifts—no pressure, no perfection—just grace and forward momentum together.


Let’s Gently Rewrite the Story

You haven’t lost yourself.
Midlife has shifted the terrain. Now, it’s time to navigate it in a way that honors who you are and who you’re becoming.

You deserve routines that nurture you, spaces that soothe you, and a life where you are part of the picture.
