Reclaiming Your Voice In Menopause
It wasn’t until I was plunged into the depths of menopause that I realised I’d lost my voice. In fact I lost it when I was 8 years old. It was 1974. Going into my first French class. Without a care in the world. The little girl who came out of that class was not…

Menopause Symptom Hack: Could Water Be Your Missing Piece?
If you’re of a certain age (like me) you may remember back to school and the dreaded PE lessons of the 1980s. Where you’d be sent off on a cross country run without any water. You know what I mean…you’re out of the changing rooms and the teacher tells you where to run to and…

Menopause Ended My Periods – But Did It End My Cycle?
Do we still have a cycle in menopause? I’ve been pondering this over the last few months. I’ve been told both yes and no by different professionals, so when this happens I do what I always do. I research. I read. And then… …I turn inwards, listen to my own body, and see what comes…

The Slow Unwind: Letting Go Takes Time
I talk a lot about slowing down being the key to embracing the post menopause stage of life. About the beauty in seeing the things around you in real time…in the present. About it helping us to appreciate what we have all around us already…in true gratitude. About it being a time where we can…

As an ex-military linguist and subsequently an accountant working in the very male electrical and recycling industries, I’ve spent most of my life on fast forward. I was constantly striving to do more, achieve more, keep going…that never ending cycle of a woman trying to fit into a male environment. The result? Burnout. I’ve never…

Who Said Ageing Was A Bad Thing? Ah, Yes…Society!
I’ve been sat with this title for a while… …not sure whether to write about it or not. …not wanting to put my opinion out there. …not convinced of my own experience. But it won’t go away, so I’m doing this. There is no judgement from me on whether you are pro or anti ageing…I…

The Change We Don’t Ask For
In late 2019 everything changed for me. My life was rolling along nicely…I had a job I enjoyed, I was in a happy relationship, my family were all good, I’d never been healthier. And looking back I wanted everything to stay like that. I didn’t want change…because change would upset everything. And change is hard,…

The True Meaning of Menopause
Tell me what’s the first thing that comes to you when you hear or see the word menopause? It doesn’t matter if you’ve been through it or not, whether you’re a man or a woman, no matter your age. The reason I ask is because people see menopause as different things depending upon their experience;…

Menopause, the Great Disruptor!
Disruptor…such a strong word, I thought. And I have wondered if this has just been my experience of menopause and perhaps everyone else who reads this might think ‘No, not me’. But I feel a deep calling to share what my experience has been and to offer some insights. That calling is within my very…
