❤️ What a wonderful afternoon of connection, conversation and empowerment! ❤️

Thank you so much to all the incredible women who joined us today for our Peri/Menopause Wellness Talk with the lovely Sally from Menopause Wellness Coaching. 🌸

There were certainly some lightbulb moments 💡, plenty of shared experiences, a few myths busted and, most importantly, a beautiful, safe and supportive space where we could talk openly about something that affects us all, yet isn't spoken about nearly enough!

Sally was absolutely wonderful, sharing her wealth of knowledge, insight and practical advice on how we can better understand and support ourselves through this next biological and physiological chapter of our lives.

If you couldn't make it today but have questions, please don't feel you have to navigate this journey alone. We have Sally's details here at Brew & Renew, or you can reach out to her directly at Menopause Wellness Coaching.

Knowledge is power, but connection is just as important. ✨

Thank you again to Sally and every single woman who came along, shared, listened and made this afternoon so special.

This is exactly the kind of community, connection and conversation we love creating at Brew & Renew. 🥰❤️ xx

Is it perimenopause… or am I just exhausted? 😴

Tired ALL the time? Running on empty? Struggling with brain fog, poor sleep or a lack of motivation?

You might be thinking it's just life, stress or getting older...

But could perimenopause be playing a part?

As oestrogen levels fluctuate and decline, our brains have to adapt to these changing hormone levels - which can contribute to symptoms like hot flushes, disturbed sleep, mood changes, brain fog and overwhelming tiredness.

You're not imagining it. 🌺

And while we can't stop the hormonal changes, we can support our bodies through them.

🌿 Movement
🥗 Nutrition
🧘‍♀️ Stress Support
😴 Sleep
💗 Community

It's about understanding what's happening and finding what works for you.

If you're feeling exhausted, overwhelmed or just not quite yourself, you don't have to navigate perimenopause alone. 🩷

Last night I had the absolute pleasure of joining the London Noon Circle, hosted by Eleanor Mills, for the first public reading of the new play "Revolting Women" 🎭

Based on Lucy Ryan's book, the play explores the highs, lows and mayhem of midlife - menopause, caring for ageing parents, teenagers, relationships, gendered ageism at work and ultimately, finding the courage to choose what comes next.

It was incredibly moving - and followed by some brilliant conversations and personal stories in the room.

A year ago, a dear friend introduced me to Eleanor's book "Much More to Come" and to Noon. At a time when I was navigating my own midlife mayhem, finding this community meant so much.

It's one of the reasons I believe these conversations are so important. Menopause is just one part of the much bigger picture of midlife - and we need to talk about all of it.

Huge thanks to Eleanor, Lucy and everyone at Noon for creating such a wonderful space for women to connect, share and perhaps do a little revolting of their own! 💗

🌙 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐚𝐦 𝐈 𝐰𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐭 𝟑𝐚𝐦?

If you're regularly waking in the middle of the night and wondering why on earth you're suddenly wide awake...
..𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐦𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐛𝐞 𝐚 𝐛𝐚𝐝 𝐬𝐥𝐞𝐞𝐩𝐞𝐫.

Sleep can change during the perimenopause transition as fluctuating hormones can affect sleep patterns, temperature regulation, mood and our ability to stay asleep.

And then there's the knock-on effect.

Poor sleep can leave you feeling exhausted, foggy, more emotional and much less resilient to everyday life.

Which can leave you wondering:

“𝘞𝘩𝘺 𝘢𝘮 𝘐 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘨𝘨𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘴𝘰 𝘮𝘶𝘤𝘩 𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘺? 𝘐 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘮𝘺𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧 𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦...”

Sometimes the things that seem unrelated 𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧'𝐭 𝐮𝐧𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐥.

That's why I talk so much about 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐭𝐬. 🌸

And it's worth looking at the bigger picture of midlife too - because there can be a lot going on during this stage of life.

🌸 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐩𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠?

When I tell people I'm a Menopause Wellness Coach one of the questions I often get is:

“𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐜𝐨𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠?”

Here's what its not... It's not about giving you a list of things you should be doing.

It's about understanding you.

We start by looking at what's been happening - your symptoms, your lifestyle, your wellbeing and all the things that might be affecting how you're feeling.

𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐰𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐭𝐬.

From there we can focus on the areas where you'd like some support - whether that's sleep, nutrition, movement, stress, routines, relationships or simply making sense of all the changes happening during midlife.

No one-size-fits-all programme.

No magic checklist.

Just practical support and realistic changes that fit your life.

Sometimes the first step is simply understanding what's happening. 🌸

🌸 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐲𝐦𝐩𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐬 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐛𝐞 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐲 𝐬𝐧𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐲…

Perimenopause doesn't always announce itself with a hot flush or irregular periods.

I was reminded of this at my recent 𝐌𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐩𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 & 𝐌𝐢𝐝𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐲𝐡𝐞𝐦 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐩, where we talked about just how many different ways the menopause transition can show up.

One thing that really stood out was 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐲 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐩𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐛𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐧. It can start from the mid-30s, yet many women don't realise that some of the changes they're experiencing could be related to their hormones.

And because many women are now having children later in life, it's possible to move from pregnancy and the post-partum years into the early stages of perimenopause without necessarily recognising what's happening.

Some early signs can include:

🧠 𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐠 - difficulty concentrating, finding the right word or making decisions.

🌙 𝐒𝐥𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐫𝐮𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 - waking tired, struggling to stay asleep or regularly waking in the middle of the night.

💭 𝐌𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲 𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐟𝐭𝐬 - increased anxiety, irritability or a noticeable drop in stress resilience.

🩸 𝐒𝐮𝐛𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐝 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐬 - small shifts in cycle length or flow, long before periods become noticeably irregular.

But here's where it gets tricky.

If you've recently had a baby, these symptoms can have very understandable post-partum explanations.

And if life is busy and stressful - work, teenagers, ageing parents, relationship pressures - it's just as easy to put them down to everything else that's going on.

𝐒𝐨 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐛𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐬?

That's why I say the symptoms can be sneaky.

We tend to think menopause happens in our late 40s or 50s: periods become irregular, then stop, maybe with the odd hot flush.

But 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐩𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐮𝐩 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐩𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 and it can begin much earlier than many women realise.

Sometimes, those seemingly unrelated symptoms can be connected.

You don't have to wait until your periods stop to start paying attention.

Sometimes, the first step is simply understanding what might be happening.
