"Gone are the days of not talking about this!" she added. "I am excited to amplify this conversation and have an open discussion about something all of us women will eventually go through!"
In the video that Garth shared, she and Haver addressed the effects of brain fog.
"I feel like the brain fog is another just silent struggle that people don't understand," Garth said.
"It happens to me at least three times a day where I walk into a room and I have no idea why I'm in there. That's brain fog."

"But when it becomes a pattern and, all of a sudden, you're questioning your judgment — one in five women are quitting their jobs at our age because of this," she added. "It's so bad."
