Unmasked & Hormonal: Peri/Menopause And The Neurodivergent Brain

​If peri/menopause has made your neurodivergent brain feel like a stranger, this workshop is for you.

​Estrogen doesn’t just regulate reproduction — it regulates dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine. The same neurochemical systems that ADHD and autistic brains already navigate differently. When estrogen drops in perimenopause, it doesn’t happen in a vacuum. It happens inside a nervous system that has been working harder than average for your entire life.

​The result: executive function breakdown. Masking collapse. Emotional dysregulation that feels new but isn’t random. Systems that worked for years suddenly don’t.

​This 60-minute live workshop covers what’s actually happening — and what you can do about it.

​We’ll cover:

• ​The estrogen-dopamine connection and why it matters for ND brains

• ​Why masking collapses at perimenopause — and why that’s not a personal failure

• ​How ADHD and autism symptoms intensify during this transition

• ​What the current science says (and where the gaps still are)

• ​Real strategies for working with your nervous system now

• ​What employers and managers need to understand

​This is for you if:

​You’re in perimenopause or suspect you might be. You’re ADHD, autistic, or neurodivergent. You’ve been told it’s just anxiety, burnout, or aging — and you know something more specific is going on.

​This is also for employers, HR professionals, and people managers who want language for what their employees may be navigating.
