When You Don’t Feel as Sharp at Work

A menopause confidence exercise

If menopause has left you feeling less confident at work, this short exercise will help you make sense of what’s been happening, challenge some of the assumptions you may be making about yourself, and choose one practical step to feel more supported in your working day.


This exercise is for you if...

You are navigating perimenopause or menopause and notice that work feels different. You may be thinking:

  • I'm not as sharp as I used to be.

  • I'm losing my edge.

  • Why is something that used to be easy suddenly taking so much effort?

In about 15 minutes, you'll:

  • identify one cognitive change that's been knocking your confidence;

  • separate what actually happened from what you've started believing it means about your ability;

  • choose one realistic experiment to support yourself.
