Why Menopause Brain Fog Makes Simple Decisions Feel Impossible
Simple decisions that used to be automatic now feel overwhelming. The grocery store becomes a maze of impossible choices. Planning what to cook for dinner requires the same mental energy you used to reserve for major decisions.
Whether you're in early perimenopause or deep into menopause, estrogen decline doesn't just cause hot flashes. It disrupts your brain's executive function. The hormone that's been quietly supporting your cognitive processing for decades is fluctuating wildly, and your brain is struggling to adapt to this new reality.
This isn't a personal failing. It's not something that requires you to completely restructure your life or adopt someone else's morning routine. It's basic neuroscience, and once you understand what's actually happening, you can stop wondering what's wrong with you and start figuring out how to work with your brain as it is right now.
The fog isn't random. It has patterns, and those patterns have explanations. More importantly, those explanations can help you understand exactly how YOUR mind wants to navigate this transition.
Because here's what the research shows: there are five distinct ways women process and move through midlife transitions, and understanding yours changes everything.

Why Personalized Tools Matter for Women in Midlife
Research shows that up to 60% of women experience cognitive difficulties during menopause Understanding Meno-Fog: Navigating Brain Fog During Menopause | RAND , yet most productivity and wellness tools ignore these cognitive shifts entirely. Longitudinal studies validate patients' cognitive complaints at menopause, with difficulties in learning and verbal memory being especially common during perimenopause when menstrual cycles become irregular.

Meet Susie Pittman
Founder, Power of Little
As a longtime nonprofit executive and transformation strategist with a master's degree in clinical psychology, I understand what it feels like when your mind doesn't work the way it used to. During my own menopause transition, simple decisions became overwhelming, and I found myself questioning capabilities I'd relied on for decades.
The Power of Little methodology emerged from combining my clinical psychology background with lived experience navigating midlife brain fog, career transitions, and the discovery that small, research-informed shifts could create profound change—without the pressure to "burn it all down."
My approach draws from:
- Clinical psychology training in how minds process change and develop coping strategies
- Professional expertise in organizational transformation and leadership
- Personal experience with menopause, ADHD diagnosis, and midlife transitions
- Research-backed strategies that honor how women's cognitive function shifts during hormonal changes
I created these superpower apps because I wished I'd had tools designed for exactly how my brain worked during this transition—not generic advice that ignored what psychology and neuroscience tell us about perimenopause.
