Think your brain stopped changing after your teens? Think again. New neuroscience is turning this assumption on its head. Researchers are discovering that the adult brain undergoes levels of neuroplasticity scientists never thought possible. From pregnancy to emerging pharmacological research, we're learning that nature itself creates waves of brain refinement throughout women's lives. Your capacity to grow and change might be far greater than you realized.

Watch the full discussion on the latest in women's brain health with Dr. Emily Jacobs, Director of the Ann S. Bowers Women's Brain Health Initiative and Professor at UC Santa Barbara.

I had the pleasure of being on Karen Covy's podcast called "Off the Fence", where we talked about when a major life change happens, such as divorce, how you can still make time for yourself.

I've had multiple clients hire me because their ToDo list associated with their divorce was overwhelming them as they were trying to manage other chaos in their life.

Whether it's divorce or some other major life event, it's about breaking things down into smaller steps and learning to go slower as opposed to faster.

I talk about how I'm a recovering product leader. Well Karen refers to herself as a recovering divorce attorney, as well as divorce coach, Decision Coach, legal consultant, MEDIATOR, author, and speaker. I look forward to having her come on "Going the Distance" with Go Long.

"The only way through is through."

There's no shortcut through grief. No way to go around it, over it, or pretend it didn't happen. And yet, our culture teaches us to avoid it at all costs.

In this clip from our conversation, Nadia Ahrens shares what she's learned from her own devastating loss of her 8-year old son and what she tells her clients every day: the only way through is through. Whether you're grieving the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, or a friendship that's gone—the path to deep healing requires you to actually walk it.

The magic pill everyone wants? It's going through whatever you're going through. When you resist, when you kick the can down the road, you're not avoiding the pain—you're just collecting interest on it. And that interest compounds.

If you want healing that lasts, if you want to transform your darkest experiences into wisdom, you have to be willing to feel it all. To cry. To sit in it. To let yourself be there.

The full conversation with Nadia drops today. Full episode here: https://youtu.be/CpHBd04dz40?si=E-ovjZVJzUfxQzoJ

ADHD diagnoses are skyrocketing for .

Here's what the research shows:
Women have a cognitive advantage over men from puberty to menopause—specifically in verbal learning and memory.

At menopause? That advantage disappears. Women decline to the same level as men.

Listen to Dr. Emily Jacobs, Professor at and Director of the Ann S. Bowers Women's Brain Health Initiative.

So what happens when your brain loses that edge right around the same time ADHD diagnoses spike? 🤔

You would think with Menopause Awareness Month that we'd have some wins on the legislative front, particularly in California. Yeah, no.

Listen to Dr. Emily Jacobs of and talk about how California Governor (and likely '28 Presidential candidate) VETOED a bill on improved menopause care that had ALMOST UNANIMOUS bi-partisan support in both parts of the legislature.

Outraged? Contact your elected officials and tell them that women's healthcare is not elective or optional.

Did you know that .5% of brain studies are focused on women? That's not a typo. That is less than 1%.

That's why the hubs and I are so excited to host this event with Go Long this Wednesday. We will be live streaming the discussion with Dr. Emily Goard Jacobs of UC Santa Barbara and Director of the Ann S. Bowers Women's Brain Health Initiative.

She is working on problems such as uncovering why women are 2x as likely to develop Alzheimer's and how hormones shape memory and mood.

We are hosting this event to empower women to take charge of their health -- by understanding their brains, asking the right questions at the doctor's office, and advocating for the care they deserve.

This is about ownership, action and how YOU can help contribute to a better future for women and girls of all ages. 💪🏻👊🏻🧠

September is National Su***de Prevention Month. I wrote about losing my friend Hailey to depression - a brilliant, funny woman who couldn't see through the fog to the hope on the other side.
