Hey hotties! Thanks for joining us on Bitches in Heat Podcast. This is part two of the first season finale, bitching about brain fog with Amber and Jen of Neighbors Neighboring, which first aired on October 20th, 2026. Part one first aired on October 13th, 2026. And now, on with the show. So, appropriately for brain fog week. For brain fog week. So, anyway, why don't we go on to some hormone horror stories, actually? Let's do it. Let's do it. So, Dom is the Matt Rose of Menopause, if you are familiar with Matt Rose. Do you know Matt Rose?

Dom 0:40

I will I didn't until Marnie told me about it.

Marni 0:43

Okay, so Matt Rose is this guy on YouTube. And he's got this great British accent. And so he reads things from Reddit, and it's so funny. Um, and so he does Matt Rose Mondays, and so uh so Dom finds things on Reddit about menopause, so she's the Matt Rose.

Dom 0:57

Ah and instead of a British accent, I just have vocal fry. Bring it. So uh for this one, I literally just went into Reddit again, parametopause and menopause, and typed in brain fog. There is so much on there. And the thing that I love most about going onto Reddit for these topics is everybody's so nice to each other and so supportive and trading tips and like like just affirming people's feelings. You know, some sometimes these threads can be really nasty. But this like the Perimenopause menopause space, I'm just like, oh my god, everybody's just hugging everyone. But here were some of my favorites from my recent search. I forgot the word budget mid-presentation, and I've been in my field for 20 years. Um, when it first started happening to me, I thought it was early onset Alzheimer's. I didn't know what was wrong with me. I brought it up to multiple doctors and all shrugged it off as side effects of my meds, except it wasn't. I didn't understand what was going on for years until I read an article about perimenopause. Then all of a sudden, my primary was like, oh yeah, you're around that age. Buyer that primary. Oh my gosh. I'm a lifelong farmer and forgot the word lambs as I was arranging to sell 800 to an agent. I improvised and called them wool puppies instead of lambs. Now I only want to say wool puppies when I feel. I love it. Oh my gosh. Brilliant. Example of me daily. You know, the door turner handle thing. You mean doorknob? I dropped the word oatmeal from my vocabulary. My husband had the silliest look on his face as I struggled to describe the wet, hot, wheat stuff that was like fritz, but sweeter. I just add thingy to everything. The wallet holder thingy, purse, eyeglass home, case. Everyone deserves to be made into a thingy. Um, I used bedroom garage for closet. Oh my god. That's great too. Forgotten word, right? Some good gems here. Forgotten word truck replaced with land boat. Forgotten word land boat. Forgotten word tadpole replaced with frog caterpillar. Oh my god, support that. Right? I forgot the word food and said eaty things. You know, the eaty thing, yeah. Oh my god. And finally, being a woman is not for sissies.

SPEAKER_00 3:59

That's for dang sure. That's a great post.

SPEAKER_04 4:03

That's awesome. Reddit is amazing. Reddit is amazing. It is amazing.

Marni 4:08

What uh what um subreddit did you get that from? Just menopause?

Dom 4:12

Uh perimenopause, brain fog.

Marni 4:14

Perimenopause.

Dom 4:15

And so I like all like so, like when you go into perimenopause and you put in brain fog, it populates a whole bunch of threads. And so I've just clicked on a bunch of different ones and cold cultiv them for my favorites.

SPEAKER_02 4:26

Do you have the um Reddit handle for that person? Some of my favorite things are the Reddit handle names too. They're just what I can go back to. Okay, yeah.

Marni 4:37

Not at the ready. Thank you for that. Oh my god. My my worst one. Do you guys have some that you remember? My worst one was, you know, the thing you stab food with and you put it in your mouth. Fork. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 4:50

You know, the thing you stab food with. I think it usually just happens in my head, and then eventually I get there at this stage. But there's silence. I think I'm doing more silence than I am doing weird expressions of things that are not the thing. I do a lot of snapping.

SPEAKER_02 5:08

Yeah, this is I do this. For those of you with the waving of the hands, yes. I think it's more like losing yeah, the Italian in me.

SPEAKER_04 5:19

I I if you saw if you saw the video that we posted in our stories recently, I was like, one of us starts with her hands a lot. My my camera will go out of focus in meetings sometimes because my hands are moving so quickly it doesn't even know what to focus on. Um, which I've noticed, which is kind of funny.

SPEAKER_02 5:35

But I'm half Italian.

SPEAKER_04 5:37

Oh, look at you.

SPEAKER_02 5:39

You're gonna be BFFs.

SPEAKER_04 5:41

Yep, yep, yep. Um, but I think my my loss of my brain fog is usually attached to, I think, just trains of thought versus words at this point, where I'll be like, what the hell was I even talking about? And I'm a tangent, both Amber and I go on tangents, I feel like often on the podcast as well. And I'm just praying I get back to the main thing. I'm like, am I gonna loop back or is this just gonna be like we started it A and we're ending it B? I have no idea. So it's a side quest. Side quest. That's right. Yeah, that's right.

Marni 6:12

Little detailed adventure. That's awesome. Oh my god. Okay. So um, shall we move on to our game? Oh, wait, before before we do that, uh Linda said, um, oh, with everybody having um name tags, she'd put, hello, my name is Nico Montoy. It's my and and Adrian's name is Adrian Wynn, N-G-U-Y-EN. No one can say or spell either one, so I always just put A on name tag. Oh, I know, right? Okay, so yes, let's move on to our next segment, which is new. It's new, it is made specially for this episode.

Dom 6:56

We did it, we did it. This thing. Oh my god, the thing that was not on purpose. It was brilliant, though. I'm almost done with my wine. Um so on. This is a new game that we came up with called Name That Thingy. And this is what's going to happen. Amber, you and I are going to think of a random object. It can be anything, but it needs to be something that most people will know what it is. Then we are going to write that object down on a piece of paper large enough that it can be seen on camera. So let's do that now.

SPEAKER_04 7:39

Do do do do do do do. I'd like to point out, by the way, that this game makes a lot more sense to me now.

SPEAKER_05 7:50

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_00 7:51

Oh, I get it now. Okay, I get it now. Okay.

Dom 7:56

No name, that, thingy, context clues. Okay. Now, has has have you written down your word, Amber?

SPEAKER_02 8:05

I have written down my word.

Dom 8:06

Okay. Okay. So next, Amber. Close your eyes and keep them closed. No cheating. Jen, I am going to hold up my piece of paper. Great. Can you read it?

SPEAKER_04 8:23

I can. I can. Yes, I've read it. I have written it. Okay. I'm writing it down for myself so I don't forget what was on the paper.

Dom 8:31

All right. So, Jen, what you need to do is describe what I have written down to Amber. Okay. Ideally utilizing the words thing and thingy as much as you can. Okay. And every time you use one of those two words as part of the description, you get a point. Um Amber, you will have can I ask a question?

SPEAKER_04 8:56

Yes. Do we get extra points for how fast we get the answer right?

Dom 9:02

So you have one minute to get to to for Amber to answer, but I will mark how fast you get it done. So as well. So if you get it in, like say you get it in 30 seconds or something like that.

SPEAKER_02 9:15

So am I allowed to uncover my eyes? Yes. You can, I think. I think you can. You can uncover your eyes.

Dom 9:21

People in the chat, do not put it in the chat. Don't put it in the eyes. I can't see any of the chat by the fun fact. So thank you, Marnie, for reading chats because I have no idea what's going on.

Marni 9:30

Oh sure, no problem. No problem. Okay, so I have a timer.

Dom 9:33

So you've got the timer. Okay, great.

Marni 9:35

Do you want to take care of the the uh uh the you know the tallying?

Dom 9:42

The tallying of the thingy I will I will tally thing and thingy people in the chat. Please feel free to tally long. Now, this is how this is how we win. Can we win for speed though?

SPEAKER_04 9:54

Because I feel like I'm gonna be able to get it right in there. Jen, you know, not the rules. I delay Amber's correct response by saying thinking to win. Oh, I love it so much. I love this. Oh my god. I'm just gonna do my thing and we'll see how it goes. Okay.

Dom 10:20

How you win, let's say you guys finish within one minute, but Marnie and I don't, you automatically win. Let's say we both finish within one minute. Whoever gets the most thing and thingy is the winner.

Marni 10:36

Okay. And when you hear this sound, one minute has elapsed.

SPEAKER_04 10:42

Okay. All right. If I I'm ready, I'm ready to go. Is there a countdown?

SPEAKER_02 10:46

Jen, I love you no matter what happens, okay? You know I can win.

SPEAKER_04 10:53

Oh earmark. Get set. Go. These thingies are little candy candy things. They're little candy things that make you go. And they're a name. Surpass kids. That's right. Well done.

Marni 11:10

Well done.

SPEAKER_04 11:11

I know you can see, but I didn't know if I'd get the thing thingy. So I don't know. I don't know if you went or not. You know what did it for me?

SPEAKER_00 11:20

The face. For those of you not not watching this, but you're listening.

Marni 11:25

She made that like a sour patch, uh, like sucking face. Oh man, I should have made us keep our eyes closed.

SPEAKER_04 11:32

I'm a major face maker on our podcast. I love that.

SPEAKER_02 11:37

It's a lot happening there.

SPEAKER_04 11:39

I didn't know how animated I was until we videoed the podcast. I was like, no wonder I have to get Botox every three months. Jesus, my God, who is raising their eyebrows this much every day?

Marni 11:52

Adrian says, give her five points for under 30 seconds. That was what? That was five seconds. It was 14 seconds. That was five thingy.

Dom 11:59

We get a five thingy credit. Okay. All right. I'm not gonna be that fast. Okay, so now I'm gonna close my eyes. And Amber, you're gonna show Marnie your word.

SPEAKER_02 12:10

Okay.

Dom 12:11

And can one of you one of you be the timer and one of you be the thingy counter?

SPEAKER_02 12:16

Tally. Yeah. Do you have a timer on you, Jen? No. I can do the timer. Here, let's let me let's just do the word first. I can first do the timer. Let's do the word first and then um we'll do this. So you cover up and then okay. Can you see that? Yeah. Can I uncover? You can uncover.

Marni 12:35

All right.

SPEAKER_02 12:35

I can do I can let me get a timer.

Marni 12:37

I can see Marian's face.

SPEAKER_02 12:39

Okay.

Marni 12:40

Can you see my face? I see your face.

SPEAKER_04 12:43

And I'm responsible for tallying thing and thingy. I got it. How many times Mari says thing and thingy? I'm just gonna look down so that I don't get distracted by visuals.

SPEAKER_02 12:55

I love it.

SPEAKER_04 12:56

Oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_02 12:57

Okay, you guys ready? Yes. Three, two, one, go. It's the thing that's attached to your computer that you do the for.

Marni 13:05

Yes.

SPEAKER_02 13:06

One.

Dom 13:10

How was that like two seconds? That was six seconds. Yeah. I feel like we should have done this with our eyes, kept our eyes closed.

SPEAKER_04 13:20

I was trying to balance. I didn't know where to go. I didn't know if I should like go straight to the answer and try to use the words. Let's do round two. Let's do round two.

SPEAKER_02 13:27

Let's do round two. That was okay. Um, and maybe we swap. So maybe Oh.

Dom 13:38

I do. Hang on a second.

SPEAKER_04 13:38

Uh, I'm sure I do. I'm sure, yeah, I do. I do.

Dom 13:41

Uh yes, I do. And if you don't, I guess whoever's not whoever's guessing can just take their headphones off and you can say it.

SPEAKER_04 13:51

All right, hold on. I need to make sure that I spell this right.

SPEAKER_00 13:54

So oh, oh my gosh. So you're a hard one? Yeah.

Dom 14:01

Well, I'm a bad speller in general. Oh my goodness.

Marni 14:04

Okay.

Dom 14:05

So Marnie, are you writing down a word?

Marni 14:06

Yeah, I'm gonna write down a word. Okay.

Dom 14:08

Just make sure, just remember I'm not really smart. So just make it oh wait, Ben, you're right. You're the one writing down the word for me. I'm not, I I dropped out of improv because I didn't know what half the words are that the audience would give me. And I'm writing one down for him.

SPEAKER_04 14:26

This is this is knowable if that's if that's a word. Yeah, so I'm ready. I'm writing when it's my turn to hold on my sheet.

Dom 14:36

Okay, let me try to remember. Okay, so you wrote your word down, and Marnie, you're writing your word down.

Marni 14:41

Yeah, I am. Hang on a second. I wasn't expecting to do that.

SPEAKER_02 14:44

Yeah, why do we have uh Adrian's like everyone has Sharpies within arm's reach.

Dom 14:51

I mean, I brought my mine intentionally for the game.

Marni 14:54

Mine just happens to be.

Dom 14:57

Mine's a bic, strangely enough.

SPEAKER_02 15:00

Oh, wow. Check that out. Yeah, I have a whole box of them here.

Okay.

Dom 15:40

All right, Marnie, are you good to keep time again?

Marni 15:42

Marni 15:46

Okay.

Dom 15:47

All right, Jen, you may you may show your eyes. Okay.

Marni 15:49

Marni 15:55

Okay. I'm ready. I can hear, but I cannot see.

SPEAKER_02 15:57

Okay, on your mic. Get it. Go. This is a drink fad thingy that you have to use a straw for it. And it's not coffee. It's not coffee, and it's um served cold. And there are little of these round thingies that are inside it that you get sucked up your straw thing, and like when you get that like has like a burst in your mouth whenever you suck up the little bubbles.

SPEAKER_05 16:24

Oh shit! Oh, bubble tea, but not that was a good thing.

SPEAKER_02 16:40

Oh, thank you. Thank you.

SPEAKER_00 16:42

It's hard, right? It is a hard one.

Marni 16:44

That was a hard one. I every time I everything I was thinking of, I was like, Well, that's obvious. This is obvious. I was like, oh, okay, well, maybe this one.

SPEAKER_04 16:52

I'm feeling good about my choice here.

Marni 16:53

We'll see. We'll see how it goes.

Dom 16:54

Well, you got three, you got three thingies.

Marni 16:57

You did get three thingies there.

SPEAKER_04 16:59

Okay. Okay. I I if I knew more about tea, I think I could have done better. I didn't know if you did or not. So I said boba, and I was pretty sure that was right, but I was it was not yeah.

SPEAKER_00 17:11

But bubble tea is what I wrote down. So yeah. So close.

Dom 17:14

So close. Okay. All right. So now Marnie's your eyes. Okay, I'm closing my eyes. I cannot. Are you ready?

Marni 17:20

Yes. Oh. Oh. Wow. Uh-oh. I'm in trouble now. Yeah.

Dom 17:30

Did you get that, Tom, or do you need me to hold it up again? Yeah, I got it. Oh no. Oh, that's fuck.

SPEAKER_00 17:37

Oh. Okay. Okay. Well, that's it.

SPEAKER_02 17:40

Okay, are you are you are you tally, Jen Jen, you're tallying the thing and thingies? I'll tally. Okay, I got the timer going. Three, two, one.

Dom 17:51

This thingy is alive, and it has these things that it walks on that are webbed. Uh like a frog, a lizard, like gecko. Like a swan. Oh, and a duck. A duck. So that and this thingy is related to what you just said. But it's it's two words and it starts with when you said, no, the word you said, the thing, yeah. Duckling. And keep going with word. Duck, duck. And it's two words, and the first one is two words in the one word, and then it has another word. Duck bend. Something duck duck bend. Oh my god.

Marni 18:41

It is an actual animal. It's a line.

Dom 18:43

It is an animal. Duck. It starts with that.

SPEAKER_00 18:50

Amazing. Oh my god. Oh my god. That was crazy. That was a really good one. Unbelievable. Oh, that was a really good one. Oh my god. That was a very strong showing. A very strong showing. Oh my gosh. Now I'm sweating.

Marni 19:14

Uh I couldn't even remember what a duckbill platypus was like.

SPEAKER_04 19:20

I just wanted to make sure I spelled platypus right.

SPEAKER_02 19:24

I get that. Yeah. That was that was really good. That was really good.

SPEAKER_04 19:28

That was really funny.

SPEAKER_02 19:29

Cheers to you ladies on that. Cheers. Cheers.

Dom 19:34

Thank you for putting name.

SPEAKER_04 19:35

Ironically, I think that Dom only said thing or thingy four times because I'm just trying to get to Duckbill Platypus.

SPEAKER_00 19:45

It's a thing with the thingy and then yes, that was awesome. Oh my gosh.

Dom 19:50

The added thing and thingy when you need to need to intentionally say it is hard. It is hard.

SPEAKER_00 19:56

It is really, really hard.

Marni 19:58

Okay. Well, maybe we should. Oh well done, everybody. Congratulations on playing thingy.

Dom 20:08

All right. So we have, gosh, seven minutes left. So before we close, we want to know um from this group or Hottie's in the chat, as you're dealing with brain fog, um, any any tools or techniques? We've talked about planners and alarms and Marnie's timer on her pills, um, but anything else like that that have sort of helped you to navigate this aspect of perimenopause and menopause?

Marni 20:41

Um, mine is that I tell people ahead of time. I I have uh that I am going to lose words. I'm going to lose words. If you think you know the end the ending of my sentence, go ahead and try because that might be helpful for me. So my my child helps me with my sentences a lot. So that helps. Just being honest. Like, and you feel like a little less of a dork because they know ahead of time. Like, I am having my own personal summer right now. And uh, and part of that is that I lose words. I know what the things are, but I don't know what the name of it is. So if you know what it is, please do me a favor and fill in the blank. It's like mad libs, but in real life. Those are so good.

SPEAKER_04 21:29

Those are so good.

Marni 21:30

Adrian says, do less. No sarcasm or shade. It's okay not to do all the things. Mm-hmm. 100%. Fair. What about you, Dom?

Dom 21:41

So, Ian, my husband, is turned into my own personal assistant. So things sort of just follow me around the house that he knows that I tend to forget. Um, he knows that when I blank on words and things, at first it was kind of there, it was received with snark but then as we both started to get educated around what I'm going through now it's it's received with with understanding and so he'll be like no no this is this sweetheart this is what you're thinking I'm like yep thank you appreciate that um sometimes all I have to do is stare at him and go and he comes in with the assist but I mean when I don't have an Ian around me it really is actually like even though I do carry a notebook around with me because sometimes even just the act of physically writing something down even if I don't look at it again helps me to remember it.

Marni 22:43

Um there's something about like the the actual transfer of writing things down with your hand that actually cements it in your brain a little bit more. Yeah.

Dom 22:53

And for me too you know I give myself grace um it's really hard to embarrass someone who talks about shitting her own pants on a podcast. So I mean like so for me to like forget my words is I don't get terribly embar embarrassed about that. But I do, you know, there's moments where it is still frustrating. So I um I just try to give myself grace and not get angry at myself and know that there's just stuff happening up in there that I can't have no control over right now. What are you doing? Your best doing my best Amber and Jen what about you two?

SPEAKER_02 23:39

What are you talking Amber? Well I think for me it's probably some of the stuff we already talked about right I I learned I had to have a planner. I had to have it if I if I don't have it and I don't write things down it's gone. And what was happening too is I had so many things going on in my brain that I had a hard time sleeping. And so just the act of getting this stuff down even like hey I want to think about this tomorrow was really really helpful for me to clear some of the cloud and maybe clear some of the fog itself and really focus on what I needed to focus on at that moment. But I'm gonna try something actually because Marnie you talked about this reset when you walk through the door I wonder if that really actually could be very helpful to reset what I wanted to focus on in that moment too. So I walked through it and forgot it but maybe if I walk back through it it's gonna come back.

SPEAKER_05 24:31

I'm gonna experiment oh that's great.

Marni 24:34

Please let us know how we're back yeah can you moon walk backwards out of the 100% I can yeah I love practicing when I go around the house like if I'm doing something and I know I want to like because inevitably it'll be like I'll walk in and like forget it and I'll go back and I'll walk in and forget it fucking in. And then like I will repeat it to myself over and over again like I'm getting my purse I'm getting my purse I'm getting my purse I'm getting my purse and it sounds silly but it works.

SPEAKER_04 25:09

So this does not sound silly to me I might that so the this idea that I just came up with is if I find that it's sort of the same things that I that happened to me I'm gonna pay attention to this and I'm gonna put up sticky notes for the things everywhere in my house. So right now we have a weird house and we finally I I have a hard time taking care of it. And we're like adult children we don't want to do chores. So we have a clean cleaning crew that comes but they don't send the same people all the time and the house is kind of weird and they don't have to clean every room. So I have sticky notes on doors and stuff that are like clean this room don't clean this room you know so I might start putting notes like in my pantry uh in my bathroom that are like you know your glasses are on this table or like just things that seem to be the things that are challenging. And then for work I have I used to do sticky notes at my desk but then I'd have like a stack of 20 sticky notes and it that was a bad idea too. So now I have a little like a little whiteboard tray that I put notes on on my desk which has help from a work perspective. And then I was in a meeting the other day and it was actually a dude but he was like because I was like I was a few minutes late for the meeting and I was like I'm so sorry and he wasn't in our company so I was embarrassed. And um he's like I there's actually this app called I think he said it's called in your face which I had written down but then erased and I'm pretty sure it's called in your face and he's like it will overtake your whole screen and be like you got a meeting idiot you know like so I'm like I might need to do something like that on mine now because I am like becoming we have like a two minute late standard I feel like everybody's always late because you got to pee between meetings right like you got to do something right so two minutes is standard but more than that is like too many minutes. So yeah I need a I need a solution for being only two minutes late. There needs to be transition time too we had made a use your pants we had made a corporate rule where you have to like every meeting can only be 25 55 like you have to leave a five minute buffer for all the meetings and we still always do not comply with the buffer rules like whether it's we're bullshitting and talking or we bullshit too much at the beginning so then we're like pressed at the end. So it our good intentions have still not gone realized all the time with that but we have a good plan we're poor on the execution when when I when I worked in I used to work in corporate before becoming a narrator and we we it we did that as well and it great in theory never we have a lot of really great in theory exercises that we we have really good intentions but no I'm I'm lucky my corporate crew is a good crew so they they handle it okay but that's awesome.

Marni 27:48

So I have oh really quick I have um Danny Donovan who is an ADHD uh person she's uh she has something called the anti-planner um where instead of like writing things down in order you go through like what you need to do based on how you feel and it's like I am feeling really combative right now and so there's like things you can do. I am feeling very scattered right now and then there's things you can do very very cool. She has on her monitor she has a system of this is a new sticky this is in progress this is almost done and this is all the way done like around the edges of her monitor. So I use this for anything that's out of the ordinary like if and this is like auditions or corrections because I will forget those completely and I put those on my monitor um also brain FM brain dot FM are you familiar with this I am familiar with that I love binaural beats I feel like that really helps like for deep work stuff yeah binaural beats is fantastic. So having that brain FM or binaural beats um will keep that part of your brain busy that tends to go on a tangent. Yeah so that you can focus on what you need to do.

SPEAKER_04 29:04

So there's that it's also good for sleep if you have a hard time falling asleep. Yes I can sleep with earbuds in so I'll listen to binaural beat meditation to help like keep my mind focused on that and not on 8,000 other things.

Marni 29:17

That's so helpful yeah 100% um the brain dump that Amber was talking about before you go to go to bed just dump everything out of your brain that helps yeah and something I just found out about the house purse have you are you familiar with this? No tell us more please what is this um somebody on Instagram was like it's changed my life this concept of a house purse these things that have to go with you from room to room to room having like one of those you know like purse like big old tote bags of things that you will need in every single room you just put it in your house purse and carry it upstairs with you and then you use it and carry it back downstairs with you. Or if you need something to like carry downstairs or upstairs and then you put it your house purse that I feel like we need to design co-branded neighbor's neighboring bitches in house purse I love bitches neighboring I love it.

Dom 30:12

Neighbors bitching neighbor neighbors and heat yeah it's neighbors and heat so much neighbors I love so I had one more thing I remembered I don't know if anybody's ever done this where they've left their house in the morning and then turned back around because you couldn't remember if you turned off the stove all the time or left the curling iron plugged in or the iron. So I started to take anything that I used that I was if I was leaving for the day that I was going to be afraid that I left it on, I would take a photo of it. Yeah so that way okay my stove is off so I take a picture of my off stove I would take a picture of my unplugged iron. Um and so then so then when we were husband because this is it it drove Ian nuts the amount of times I made him turn around after I go I can't remember oh no and so then we started taking photo I started taking photos and we have not had to turn around.

Marni 31:11

That is brilliant. Oh my God what a great idea so like as you're leaving I'm gonna turn off the stove and I'm gonna take a picture of it and then that way. Yeah that's awesome.
