Missy Moo Forgets Too

Have you ever walked into a room and completely forgotten why you went there? Or stood in the grocery store staring at your list — a list you wrote yourself — and had absolutely no idea what half of it meant?

Welcome to the club. Missy Moo forgets too.

Brain fog, forgetfulness, and that delightful "where did I put my keys" feeling are incredibly common — especially for women navigating perimenopause and beyond. And yet, so many of us feel embarrassed or alarmed when it happens.

Here's what I've learned: sometimes forgetting is your body's way of telling you to slow down. To breathe. To stop trying to hold everything at once.

Movement has been one of the most powerful tools I've found for clearing the mental clutter. When I'm in an aerial yoga class — suspended, focused, breathing — there's no room for the mental to-do list. There's only the present moment.

That's not an accident. Physical movement, especially mindful movement, has been shown to support cognitive function, reduce stress hormones, and improve sleep — all of which directly affect how sharp and clear we feel day to day.

So the next time you forget something, try not to be too hard on yourself. Take a breath. Move your body. And maybe write it down — twice.

Missy Moo forgets too. And she's doing just fine.
