What no one told you about the female brain with Dr. Sarah McKay.","description":"For too long, women have been told their brains are \u201cbroken\u201d or that every struggle is just hormones. In this episode, we shift that narrative. Dr. Sarah McKay \u2014 Oxford-trained neuroscientist and author of The Women\u2019s Brain Book, Baby Brain, and Brain Health For Dummies \u2014 joins me to break down what\u2019s really going on in the female brain. We talk about postpartum changes, perimenopause, anxiety, sleep, libido, and why so much of women\u2019s mental health is shaped not just by biology, but by support systems, stress, and societal expectations. This conversation will help you understand the female brain with more clarity, compassion, and empowerment. If you\u2019ve ever been told \u201cit\u2019s just your hormones,\u201d this episode will give you a whole new perspective.  Send this to a friend who needs it \u2014 this one\u2019s too good not to share. \ud83d\udc9b Love the show?
