Your Brain Isn’t Broken: The Truth About "Baby Brain", "Brain Fog" & the Female Brain

What if the story you’ve been told about your brain…. is wrong?

In this episode, I sit down with neuroscientist and science communicator Dr Sarah McKay to unpack what’s really happening in the female brain across life’s most misunderstood transitions.

From puberty to pregnancy, matrescence to menopause, we explore why these phases are not signs of decline, but powerful periods of adaptation, reorganisation, and growth.

We challenge the “baby brain” narrative, unpack the mental load women carry, and take a clear, evidence-based lens to the neuroscience headlines flooding your social feeds.

If you’ve ever found yourself thinking ‘why can’t I cope like I used to?’ and ‘is something wrong with me?’. This conversation will change the way you see your brain, your capacity, and yourself.

This is not about deficits. It’s about understanding.
