We’re pleased to see this blog published following our recent work with the Women’s Network at The Law Society of Northern Ireland.

The blog explores the impact perimenopause and menopause can have on women’s working lives, with practical advice on how employers can better understand these challenges and create more supportive workplaces.

When you think you’re delivering a Lunch & Learn on menopause, but end up being the star of a Zoom screenshot! 😂

Thankfully, I was actually looking at the screen this time. There have been plenty of Zoom calls where all you could see was the top of my head!

Definitely an improvement! 🤣

All jokes aside, it was lovely to speak to the Women’s Network at the Law Society of Northern Ireland about perimenopause and menopause in the workplace.

Thank you for the kind invitation. It was great to have the opportunity to share information, answer questions and encourage more open conversations about menopause.

The more we understand about menopause, the better we can support ourselves and others, both at work and at home. 💜

💜 It’s World Menopause Day

This year’s theme, Chronic Pain at Midlife, is particularly close to home.

For many women, perimenopause and menopause involve far more than hot flushes and night sweats. Changes in mood, disrupted sleep, fatigue and chronic pain can affect our confidence, relationships, working lives and everyday wellbeing.

I know from personal experience that managing chronic pain and mood can be challenging. Some days are harder than others, and finding ways to look after yourself becomes so important.

For me, getting outside, keeping moving and making time for myself are all part of how I cope.

And taking notice of the beauty all around me on a cold, frosty morning brings me so much joy. 💙

It doesn’t make everything disappear, but finding what helps you can make a difference.

One of the most important things is understanding what’s happening to our bodies. It can help us feel less alone, recognise our symptoms and feel more confident about asking for support.

Women’s pain deserves to be taken seriously, not dismissed or simply put down to stress, age or having too much on our plates.

Today, let’s raise awareness, share our experiences and help break the stigma surrounding menopause.

If you’re struggling, please know that you don’t have to just put up with it. Speak to a healthcare professional and explore the support available to you.

💜 Together, we can make menopause something we feel comfortable talking about - not just today, but every day.

✨ What an incredible Friday at Larne Town Hall! ✨

I stepped up to pitch in the Go Succeed Ultimate Pitch - talking openly about where my business started, where it stands right now, and all the exciting plans I have for its future.

I’m absolutely delighted to share that I WON - and I’m through to the next round! 🎉

Huge thanks to Mid and East Antrim Borough Council for organising such a brilliant, supportive event. The atmosphere was wonderful, and it meant so much to share my journey in such a special setting.

Grateful, buzzing, and ready for what comes next! 💪✨

Do managers know how to manage menopause?

Menopause at work isn’t just an employee wellbeing issue - it’s part of managing people well.

Managers need the confidence and practical knowledge to have supportive conversations, understand reasonable adjustments and know where to signpost colleagues for further support.

We have very limited availability for workplace workshops in October.

If menopause is on your workplace agenda this autumn, now is the time to get your workshop booked.

Get in touch to secure an October date.

Has menopause been forgotten?

Are businesses so busy with everything else that it’s quietly fallen off the radar?

Or are women feeling better supported at work because conversations about menopause are now just part of workplace culture?

I’d love to think it’s the second one.

But is it?

My latest blog looks at what employers need when it comes to menopause awareness, workshops, training and workplace support.

Just in case we needed to be reminded!

For anyone working through perimenopause and menopause, we know the impact it can have - at work and at home.

I love the fact that we have World Menopause Day. It gives us a chance to raise awareness, share information and get people talking.

But honestly, from my experience, menopause shouldn’t just be a conversation for one day a year.

The conversation needs to continue all year round, just like our symptoms do.🥰

Sometimes, smaller really is better.

After delivering my Menopause Changemaker® Champion Training in September, one thing I learned is that small groups work really well.

There’s more opportunity for conversation, questions and sharing experiences – and I really enjoyed seeing that in action.

So, for my next programme, I’m keeping the numbers small again.

8th & 15th October | 9.30am–1pm | Online | CPD Certified

What would your managers do?

What happens when someone tells their manager they’re struggling with menopause symptoms?

Would they know how to respond?

Would they know what support is available?

Research by Balance found that 99% of women surveyed said their perimenopausal or menopausal symptoms had negatively affected their careers.

Because when someone does open up, how their manager responds really matters.

World Menopause Day is a great opportunity to start the conversation - but it shouldn’t stop there.
