This Month's Speaker + Topic:
Topic: Your Hormones Are Running the Night Shift: Why Sleep Gets Wild in Your 30s, 40s & Beyond
Your hormones shift more than you think—not just in menopause, but across your 30s, 40s, and every cycle in between. And when they move, your sleep moves with them. That's a problem, because sleep is when your brain regulates mood, sharpens focus, and clears the fog. Disrupt it, and you get the cascade you know too well: fatigue, anxiety, brain fog, and the inattention that makes a simple to-do list feel like 47 tabs open at once.
But you're not stuck with it. In this session, we'll unpack the why behind the shifts driving your sleep sideways—then train the research-backed mental fitness skills that help your brain recover faster and fire sharper, even when your hormones don't cooperate. You'll leave with practical, evidence-based strategies so you can think clearly and stop white-knuckling your way through the morning, evening and everything in between.

What is the Mind Moment Ideas Club?
The Mind Moment Ideas Club is a live, monthly experience focused on helping you build mental fitness in a way that works in real life.
Each session brings together thoughtful people, one meaningful idea, and a simple way to put it into practice, so it doesn’t just stay interesting, it becomes useful.
Every session follows a simple, repeatable structure:
A clear, relevant idea: You’ll be introduced to one concept through a guest expert or guided session—something grounded in real-world application.
A practical tool: You’ll walk through a short exercise designed to help you apply that idea immediately, so it becomes something you’ve done, not just heard.
A live conversation (optional): You’re invited to stay for discussion, reflection, and questions.
Just imagine showing up to something that actually changes the way you think, feel and do...fast! Over time, showing up here creates real change. You’ll—
Follow-through more consistently on your goals (and set better ones)
Think more clearly under pressure (and stress)
Respond with more intention (and less reactive emotion)
Feel less overwhelmed by the 124 things on your plate
I can't wait to meet you!!!
With heart,
Lissy (+Jennifer)
