   Pt. 2: Perimenopause, Brain Fog & Weight Gain: Where Do You Even Start? | Dr. Traci Potterf

   Why does perimenopause sometimes feel like your entire body changed the rules without telling you? In Part 2 of Carly’s conversation with Traci Potterf, PhD, founder of Inner Genius Health, the discussion gets much more personal. Carly brings Traci the questions she has been trying to untangle in her own life: brain fog, ADHD, burnout, hormonal changes, weight gain, irregular bleeding, birth control, perimenopause, gut health, and conflicting advice about what she should test or do next. Instead of looking at one symptom in isolation, Traci discusses a whole-body approach to understanding what may be contributing to how a woman feels. The conversation explores nervous system regulation, hormones, lifestyle, nutrition, gut health, functional testing, environmental factors, and the emotional and social context women are living in. Traci also brings in her background in medical anthropology to discuss how the experience of perimenopause and menopause may differ across cultures and why factors such as community, support, environment, food, and even the social value placed on aging women are worth examining. In this episode: • Perimenopause and hormonal changes • Brain fog and feeling unlike yourself • ADHD and changing capacity • Carly’s real-life perimenopause questions • Burnout and chronic overwhelm • Nervous system regulation • Why lifestyle changes feel harder when you are depleted • Weight changes and whole-body health • Gut health and functional testing • Hormone and thyroid testing • Minerals and individualized health information • Why healing is not necessarily linear • Building more physical and emotional capacity • Small daily practices that support regulation • Why Traci says we heal at the speed of life, not Amazon Prime Traci explains that when the nervous system becomes more regulated, other lifestyle changes may begin to feel more manageable because you have more bandwidth to work with. She also challenges the idea that weight loss should always be the primary target. In her approach, improving overall health comes first, with weight changes potentially occurring as part of that larger process. If you have ever found yourself sitting in a doctor’s office thinking, “I know something has changed, but I don’t know what I’m supposed to ask for,” this conversation will probably feel very familiar.

   Pt. 1: Mom Brain, Burnout & Perimenopause: What Your Body Is Trying to Tell You | Dr. Traci Potterf

   What if feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, foggy, hormonally off, and completely maxed out is not simply something moms have to accept? In this episode of The We Got You Mama Show, Carly sits down with Traci Potterf, PhD, founder of Inner Genius Health, for a conversation about modern motherhood, nervous-system overload, nutrition, hormones, functional health, and what it means to build sustainable capacity instead of constantly pushing harder. Traci specializes in Mind-Brain-Body Functional Health Consulting for High Performers, helping clients move from anxiety and invisible illness toward sustainable performance, vitality, and impact. Her work brings together leading-edge science and the intelligence of nature, drawing from her experience as a Health Detective, Nervous System & Longevity Lifestyle Expert, Consultant, Coach & Speaker. Together, Carly and Traci explore why so many women feel like they are operating at maximum capacity and why simply doing more may not be the answer. They talk about the relationship between stress, nervous-system regulation, hormones, brain fog, perimenopause, food quality, functional testing, environment, and overall well-being. Traci also shares one of her simplest practices for overwhelmed moms: When everything around you speeds up, intentionally slow yourself down. Slow your breathing. Slow your walking. Slow your movements. Even a few moments of intentional slowing can create space between you and the chaos. In this episode: • Nervous-system regulation for busy moms • Mom brain, brain fog, anxiety, and overwhelm • Why functioning does not always mean your body is thriving • Perimenopause and changing hormones • Carly’s experience with ADHD, burnout, and hormonal changes • The hidden health cost of hustle culture • Nutrition quality and sustainable food choices • Functional health and individualized testing • Why community and support matter • Simple breathing and movement practices • Building capacity instead of simply adding more tasks • Why slowing down can sometimes help you do more • Learning to work with your body instead of against it One of Traci’s reminders throughout this conversation is that symptoms can be signals worth paying attention to rather than something to simply push through. And perhaps one of the biggest takeaways is: You matter too. Taking care of your body is not separate from caring for your family. It is part of it.

   You’ve Been Holding It Together Too Long with Cherise Small, LCSW

   Have you become so good at holding everything together that no one realizes you’re struggling? Maybe you’re still showing up. The kids are getting where they need to go. The calendar is managed. The work is getting done. Everyone knows they can rely on you. But underneath all of that, you’re exhausted, irritable, overwhelmed, disconnected, resentful, or just not feeling like yourself anymore. In this episode of The We Got You Mama Show, Carly sits down with Cherise Small, LCSW, licensed therapist, speaker, founder of The Healing Point Therapy & Wellness and Release2Heal, and author of You’ve Been Holding It Together. Together, they unpack the pressure mothers feel to keep everything running while also appearing emotionally steady. Cherise explains why functioning is not the same thing as being well, what hidden survival mode can look like, and why many women become disconnected from their own needs while spending years caring for everyone else. They also explore one of the biggest identity shifts in motherhood: realizing that you do not necessarily need to get back to the woman you were before children. Instead, you can begin asking, Who am I becoming now? This episode covers: • Hidden signs of survival mode • The pressure to constantly say “I’m fine” • Emotional exhaustion and resentment • Feeling disconnected from yourself • Identity changes after becoming a mother • Sustainable boundaries • Why boundaries are not about shutting people out • Learning to say “I’m not available” • Stopping the need to overexplain • Checking in with yourself before saying yes • Being honest about what you can actually handle • Asking people you trust for support • Why you deserve the same care you give everyone else • What emotional wellness can realistically look like for busy moms Cherise also helps Carly work through a real-life example of something many women struggle with: wanting to help, knowing you technically can help, but realizing that saying yes may still come at a cost. Sometimes the most important question is not: Can I do this? It is: Do I actually need to take this on right now? ABOUT CHERISE Cherise Small, LCSW is a licensed therapist, speaker, and author of You’ve Been Holding It Together. She is the founder of The Healing Point Therapy & Wellness and Release2Heal, where she supports women who have spent years being the one others rely on and are now ready to tell the truth about what they actually need. Her work focuses on emotional clarity, sustainable boundaries, identity transitions, and releasing the pressure to appear “fine” while navigating major life roles like motherhood, partnership, and leadership.
