Today really matters…& here’s why

World Menopause Day 2025

Many people talk about menopause like the main event in midlife.
But I focus on the seven to ten years that lead up to it, the hormonal rollercoaster called perimenopause.

It’s the bit where everything starts to shift…
your hormones, your sleep, your emotions, your tolerance levels, your sense of self, and symptoms are often worse than after menopause.

It’s the bit where you start wondering what the hell is happening to your brain, your body, your energy.

And it’s the bit I’ve devoted my work to helping women through.
Over the past few years, I’ve supported thousands of women in this phase, and the work just keeps getting deeper, richer, and more necessary.

Because perimenopause isn’t just about hormones.
It’s about life.

✨

This year’s World Menopause Day theme is Lifestyle Medicine.
And honestly… it couldn’t be more perfect.

Perimenopause invites (and sometimes forces) a life audit.
How are you resting?
Where are your boundaries?
What’s draining you, and what’s feeding you?
What are you consuming, not just with your mouth but with your mind?
And what really matters to you now?

For most women I work with, the biggest struggle isn’t the hot flushes (though they’re a real pain in the ass for around 70% of us).
It’s anxiety.
Brain fog.
Insomnia.
Overthinking.

That sense of losing yourself.
Of feeling like you’re coming apart, when really, your brain is just rewiring.

Because that’s what’s happening.
Your brain is pruning and reconfiguring itself for the next stage of life.
Your body is recalibrating too.
And yes… you will be changed by the end of it.

But here’s what I wanted to offer as food for thought:
You’ve been changing your whole life.
It’s just more noticeable now… and far more meaningful.

✨

Perimenopause can be rough.
Bewildering.
It can bring waves of anger, sadness, denial, grief, loss, resentment, rage, despair, and loneliness.

And yet… with the right support, it can also become one of the most powerful and clarifying transitions of your life.

You don’t have to white-knuckle your way through.
There’s so much help available now.

Allow yourself the time to explore what you need.
And if you’re not sure where to start, come find me.
I’ll help you figure it out.

With heart,
Jo xx

✨ Addendum:
The MindMedicine tools I use in my work: hypnosis, mindfulness, self-compassion, breathwork, EFT, and somatic soothing, are all part of my HypnoHRT® Method.

It’s a science-meets-soul approach that helps ease anxiety, hot flushes, insomnia, brain fog, and overthinking, whether or not you’re using prescribed HRT. Works brilliantly either way.

Because you deserve to feel calm, clear, and connected, even through the chaos.

Dear gorgeous woman, arriving in perimenopause,

You are not alone. I promise. I know it might feel that way. This perimenopause phase brings huge mental & physiological shifts. Huge hugs to you.

So many women arrive at their mid 40s & start life auditing. Sometimes this is exacerbated by the hormonal fluctuations that shine a harsh spotlight on what’s really going on, and compels us to re-evaluate our needs (which are changing right now)

You are not failing here. You are a good woman going through a turbulent transition. And some nervous system soothing is essential to enable you to feel regulated, resourced, and safe inside, enough to make decisions that serve you well.

My quick answer to this is, starting to explore, having a range of simple tools at your fingertips to parachute in, when you find yourself in that frustration/sadness anxiety situation. And spend time having practiced and embedded them, so they become automatic and familiar ‘go to’ practices, that soothe, calm & restore you.

Mindful self-compassion work, somatic practices, self-hypnosis and breathwork have saved me, over the years.

And it was never more needed than when I hit Perimenopause.

After much research & using these life changing tools myself, I pivoted my therapy practice to help guide other women to find their way through, along with reminding them who they are, and reconnecting them with their skills & resources.

If you’d like to have a chat and I’ll share some insight on this, feel welcome to let me know.

And in the meantime, I created this HushPeri Soothe Your Brain hub which is FREE to any woman - always

With heart, Jo xx

Harvest Moon Reflections 🌕

Tonight’s Harvest Moon rises full and golden, a glowing reminder to pause, breathe, and gather in what this year has quietly grown within us.

In perimenopause it can feel like everything is shedding or slipping away… but the Harvest Moon whispers otherwise. She reminds us that even in the chaos, we’re ripening. We’re harvesting resilience, wisdom, courage… the fruits of every hard-won cycle.

Let her light guide you to release what’s heavy, to soften what’s been clenched, and to honour all you’ve already carried.

You don’t need to do more. Just stand in her glow, hand on heart, and say: I am enough, even as I change.

With heart,
Jo 🤍

P.S. HushCircle Online is launching this month… more on that tomorrow. It’s something really special for those of you who’ve been asking for a way to gather from home. 🌕✨
