SHARP AT WORK: The Career Woman's Guide to Beating Perimenopause and Menopause Brain Fog, Memory Loss, and Mood Swings
Two-thirds of women going through perimenopause report real, measurable brain fog
. Almost none of them talk about what happens when it hits them in a meeting.
You know the moment. The word that won't come. The thread of an argument you built for years, suddenly gone mid-sentence. The mood swing that costs you an afternoon of guilt. And underneath all of it, a fear you've never said out w hat if this costs me my career?
Sharp at Work is the book nobody wrote for you. Not another comprehensive medical guide to menopause (you likely already own one), but a tactical, specific playbook for staying sharp, credible, and in control at your actual job, in real time, while your hormones do everything they can to convince you otherwise.
Inside, you'll
✅ A plain-language explanation of what's actually happening in your brain during perimenopause. Enough science to stop blaming yourself, without turning into a textbook
✅ A complete meeting and presentation toolkit, built for the exact moment your focus or memory slips in front of colleagues
✅ Concrete language for word-finding trouble and mid-conversation recovery, so a blank moment never turns into a spiral
✅ Real strategies for managing mood swings professionally, and repairing fast when one gets the better of you
✅ A full decision framework and word-for-word scripts for the conversation you've been whether, when, and how to tell your manager
✅ A clear-eyed plan for protecting your career trajectory, so this becomes a chapter in your career, not a turning point against it
✅ A 30-day quick-start plan that pulls the single highest-leverage tactic from every chapter, for the reader who needs to start today
This isn't about pretending nothing is happening. It's about walking into work every day with an actual toolkit built for exactly this moment in your career, instead of white-knuckling it alone and wondering if you're the only one.
You're not losing your edge. Sharp at Work shows you how to keep it.

So Relatable
Menopause is a piece of reality that impacts everyone, male or female. When I saw this book, I really related to the title. One I started reading it, i found myself nodding at the concepts and even reading out loud so key phrases to my husband.
The author was able to take the brain fog concept and break it down without all the medical jargon so that it was easily understood without needing a science degree. Towards the end of book, I was relieved knowing that this was normal and there are ways to combat the memory loss without resorting to medication. The tips are actionable items i know I can incorporate into my daily habits. They are realistic without making me feel self conscious which is what website woman needs during this period of her life.
