Younger Me,
You spent over 9 years' operating at a high-level professionally while navigating chronic symptoms you or the many many medical professionals you spent thousands on couldn’t explain.
You blamed stress. You blamed workload. You blamed yourself.
You didn’t know you were moving through a major neuroendocrine transition that affects cognition, sleep, emotional regulation, physical function, and identity.
You also didn’t know how many workplaces would misinterpret those changes as a capability issue.
In January 2026, you open a women's coaching clinic in the Adelaide CBD, not because the world needed another service, but because the system needed a correction.
Here’s what you eventually learn:
◼️Biology changes the operating environment.
Hormonal shifts influence executive function, memory, sleep quality, thermoregulation, and metabolic stability. These are physiological events, not personality traits.
◼️Psychology is impacted.
Confidence can dip. Decision making can feel slower. Identity can shift. These are predictable outcomes of a transition that has been ignored and denied for decades.
◼️Social structures determine whether people cope or crumble.
Workplaces without awareness create unnecessary risk.
Families & Partners without understanding create unnecessary tension.
Leaders without education create unnecessary harm.
This is why this space exists.
Not as a wellness add on.
But as a response to a systemic gap impacting families, workplace performance, retention, leadership pipelines, community wellbeing, and critically a woman’s long‑term health span.
◼️To the men reading this:
Menopause is not a spectator event. It affects your teams, your households, your partnerships, your performance metrics, and your culture. Understanding it is part of modern relationships and leadership.
◼️To the women reading this:
Your symptoms are real. Your experience is valid. And your capability is not defined by a biopsychosocial transition.
Younger Me, thank you for getting through a chapter you didn’t have support for.
Thank you for staying functional in environments that weren’t designed for you.
Thank you for becoming the person who would one day build a space designed to change the national conversation.
In the month of January 2026, Your Menopause Doula opens its CBD doors.
It’s not just a coaching clinic.
It will mark a new standard, one where women can proactively shape their biopsychosocial outcomes.
With gratitude,
Your future self
