What on earth is Taper 2025?

Taper began a few years ago as a survival strategy at the end of a frenetic year, a way to ease into the season instead of being swallowed/destroyed/undone by it.

And now, well, it's tradition.

Taper is ...
* free
* a bit different every year
* not a lead to entice you to buy anything
* a risk-free moment of escape and lightness

So if your year has been a lot, and the thought of the holiday season instils fear instead of joy, then hang out with me for a while.

Five daily emails to help you taper off and end the year in one piece, starting Monday 8 December.

It's Taper time!

Taper started a few years back with the desire to ease into the Christmas period instead of being sucked into a vortex of end-of-year frenzy.

Turns out I need it every year! Taper is:

🦩a quiet corner to rest
🦩a moment to dream
🦩a time to create some space
🦩a moment of lightness
🦩an invitation, to you

Join me in Taper 2025.

Daily emails for 5 days to help you ease into the end-of-year, enjoy the summer holidays and start 2026 with lightness.

No more details available - it's a time for curiosity and play, not lists and details.

Taper 2025 starts Monday 8 December, join us!

Sometimes the loudest advice isn’t the most helpful.

Menopause doesn’t need more noise, it needs calm, clarity, and good information.

I've seen this 90's classic a few time lately, have you? It goes something like "high cortisol steals your progesterone.”

The truth is more interesting (and far more scientific): cortisol doesn’t deplete progesterone or “use it up.”

Instead, chronic stress can disrupt the signalling between the brain and ovaries, affecting ovulation and the luteal phase. When ovulation is disrupted, progesterone production may drop, not because cortisol stole it, but because the o***y didn’t get the messages it needed.

Hormones don’t work in a simple tug-of-war. They respond to complex networks, signals and feedback loops.

Swipe through for more detail.

Ithard when there's incorrect information swirling around - here's correct information on testosterone levels and testing.

Testosterone is widely promoted as an essential part of menopausal hormone therapy to treat low mood, brain fog and low energy. But new research challenges this.

Hormones + pressure cooker life = nervous system on high alert.

Tomorrow night I’m running a bonus Cultivating Calm workshop—free when you enrol in the course.

In the workshop we’ll:

🧠 Map your stress patterns across the day (so you can see when and why they spike)
🧺 Clear your plate of the things quietly draining your energy
💆‍♀️ Practice simple tools to downregulate your nervous system and reset your calm

World Menopause Day - let's not over-cook and overcomplicate this dish!

Go for a walk
In the sunshine
With a friend
And have a laugh (working that pelvic floor)
Stretch, relax
Share a meal with lots of plants
Move a little
Rest
And sleep

😊☀️🚶‍♀️
