Menopause & ADHD — maybe a little extra spicy? 🌶️ As estrogen declines during menopause, dopamine levels also shift — and for women with ADHD (which already involves low dopamine), this can amplify challenges with focus, motivation, and emotional regulation. You might notice that old strategies no longer work like they used to. That’s not a failure — it’s a signal. Menopause initiates a powerful phase of neuroplasticity and neural pruning, offering a chance to let go of what no longer serves and build new, supportive habits. This is a time to:
✨ Reassess and update your coping tools
✨ Rewire your brain with daily practices
✨ Build new rhythms around nervous system regulation, focus, memory, and emotional balance Menopause sharpens awareness. Use it as an opportunity to realign your life. For those who’ve navigated menopause while managing ADHD — what has helped you most? Please share in the comments to support others on this path Further Reading & References:

We’ve all internalised the patriarchy—and it shows up as the voice in our head that tells us we’re too much, not enough, too loud, too quiet. But that voice isn’t yours.
It’s the echo of conditioning meant to keep you small. The first step to freedom?
Start listening.
Start questioning.
Start rewriting. When you change the way you speak to yourself, your inner wisdom wakes up.
And that’s how we begin to dismantle the patriarchy—from the inside out. ✨ How are you dismantling your internalised patriarchy?
✨ How is this benefiting you?

It is also known as mid-spring, a Fertility festival in pre-christian times and is now commonly called Easter.

Creative energy is rising and we feel more interested in the outer world.
We may feel elevated mood, more extroverted and likely wanting to be more outside and active. Hopeful mood and new possibilities are felt at this time.
How well you rested at winter, will determine how much energy you have to dedicate to growth at this time. Pace yourself and avoid burnout. Summary:
The Spring Equinox is one of the two points of balance in the year.

Menopause is not an ending—it’s an awakening.

Menopause is not an ending—it’s an awakening. A recalibration into creativity, clarity, and deep wisdom. This is the initiation into the power of the wise woman—exactly who the world needs now.

Menopause isn’t the end of vitality—it’s a shift in its expression. As our energy is freed from reproductive cycling, we step into a new season of clarity, leadership, and self-directed purpose.
