Evidence based wellness for high functioning women who forgot what well feels like.

Nervous system science, nutrition and lifestyle medicine strategies that work with your real life, not against it.

If you're in perimenopause and the amount of nutrition advice out there is making your head spin, you're not alone. 🫣

It's gone from zero to a hundred. And a lot of it is genuinely overwhelming.

Here's what's actually worth understanding. Two key hormones, progesterone and oestrogen, begin to decline during this life stage. This can make your body more prone to insulin resistance, which is why food and energy can start to feel different to how they used to.

What might surprise you is how simple the adjustments can actually be.

This is one of the topics inside From Exhausted to Energised. Beta round, six women only. DM me if you want to know more. 😃

I've been a bit quieter on here lately. All my energy is going into the program right now, and that's where it should be. I'm trying to build something that actually works for women like you.

So I thought I'd share some of my life from Ubud. This is from a cooking class when my good friend was visiting and got coerced into helping capture some content. The content was planned. The moment at the end was real 💚

Honestly? The habits that make the biggest difference are the ones that look like nothing from the outside.

Just small, consistent things I come back to every week because they actually work.

Consistency with the unglamorous stuff is what keeping well actually looks like.

What if eating was actually supposed to feel easy?

Most high-functioning women are running on food rules they didn't consciously choose, and wondering why it still feels hard.

These 5 questions are worth sitting with.

🌱Which "food shoulds" am I still holding onto that no longer serve my body or mind?

🌱When I'm eating, can I notice how nourishing this is and how much my body needs this energy, without judgment?

🌱Are there foods I avoid because of fear, past experiences, or misleading advice from people without expertise?

🌱When do I override my body's signals instead of listening with curiosity and care?

🌱What might change in my relationship with food if I allowed myself ease and kindness?

Sometimes slowing down feels scary.

Not because something is wrong with you.

But because your nervous system may have learned that constant movement was the safest option.

And that makes sense.

Long term though, your body needs space for:

💚 Repair
💚 Restoration
💚 Healing

Survival mode keeps you functioning. It doesn't allow for restoration and healing. That only really happens when your nervous system feels safe.

If you're curious about how to start that process gently, comment ENERGY below.

Sustained energy? Let's begin 👇

11 everyday things that quietly healed my burnout (as a high-functioning woman who burned out while running her own wellbeing studio. Yes, really.)

1. I don't look at my phone first thing in the morning.
I get ready for the day instead. Less stimulus early changed everything.
2. I stopped drinking coffee before breakfast.
Turns out I wasn't "anxious." I was under-fed and over-caffeinated.
3. I get natural light first thing in the morning.
No sunglasses. What I do in the first 30 minutes affects how well I sleep at night.
4. I aim for 20-30g protein & 7-10g fibre at every meal.
Not for weight. For stable energy and fewer mid-afternoon crashes.
5. I carve out time in quiet places every day.
Open plan offices, loud cafes, phones played out loud. It all adds up. Quiet is how I regulate.
6. I don't drink caffeine after midday.
Sleep is the one thing I won't compromise on. Herbal tea it is.

7. I can say no as the full sentence now.
The explanation was where all the energy was going.
8. I stopped calling it laziness and started asking what my body needed.
Usually rest. Not another coffee. Just rest.
9. I eat 30 different plants a week.
Not a diet. My gut health and energy shifted more than I expected.
10. I set a timer at 5.30pm.
Tools down. Evening work kept my mind buzzing. My nervous system needed a clear signal.
11. I do legs up the wall for 3 minutes before bed. Especially when my mind is busy. My sleep changed noticeably.

None of these are dramatic. That's exactly the point.

Burnout doesn't heal through more discipline. It heals through small, consistent signals that tell your nervous system it's finally safe to slow down.

I almost didn't post today.

Not because I don't care about International Women's Day. Because I care too much to do it performatively.

No cupcakes. No hashtag for the sake of it. Just something that's been sitting with me for a while.

We hold up high-functioning women as proof that things have changed. She got there, so the system must be working.

What nobody talks about is the invisible tax she paid to get there. Don't show emotion. Don't ask for too much. Don't take up too much space. Don't be too much. Stay palatable. Stay grateful. Stay quiet.

Because the moment she doesn't, she gets the label. And the label follows her everywhere.

That's not success. That's just surviving the system with a better title.

I was raised by a single mother. I've spent most of my career in male-dominated industries. This isn't abstract for me. It's personal.

I still believe we can do better. Not special treatment. Not allowances. Just equality. The kind where gender doesn't even enter the conversation.

So today I'm sharing things I've lived and things friends have shared with me. Some will make you nod. Some might sting a little. All of them still happen.

Because the women coming up behind us deserve better than the list I'm about to share.

Drop a 🙋 if you've lived any of these.

The reason you "fall off" at week three is the most predictable thing in biology.

When your brain is tired, it defaults to what's energy efficient and familiar. When you're exhausted, your nervous system pulls you back to what feels safe. Old eating patterns included.

The women who stay consistent aren't more motivated. They've built more regulation into how they eat.

Build your plate. Get curious about your cravings. Protect one calm meal.

Save this 💚

These are the foundations I come back to again and again.

Not because they're exciting. Because they work.

Most women have tried every approach except the simple one. Cut carbs, counted calories, followed plans that lasted three weeks and left them feeling worse.

That's not a discipline problem.
It's a foundation problem.

Start here. Start small. One of these. Not all six.

Almost two months in Ubud. Homesick, in awe, deeply at peace. Sometimes all in the same day.

Taking a 12-month sabbatical, packing up your house, moving to another country.

None of it comes with certainty.
Has it been hard? Yes.
Has it been wonderful? Yes.

But that urgent feeling, like I should always be doing something, has finally left my body.

Everything here is slower.
Simpler.

The Balinese are so present.
No rushing.
No performing.
Just ease.

If something in you is asking for stillness, listen to that.

You don't have to move to Bali to start listening to your body. My 10-week program helps you build that from wherever you are. Waitlist is open, link in bio.
