Perimenopausal, menopausal, and postmenopausal women (and their partners) all need moments away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
💫
Escapism from the constant pressures of work, children, and home life.

With fluctuating or depleted hormones often comes anhedonia or joylessness, anxiety, low mood, or even depression. Overwhelm and burnout are common — and while moving into nature can be healing, in the winter months it’s not always easy or safe to enjoy.
🌧️ The dark nights and cold weather can make it harder to find peace outdoors, leaving us even more in need of gentle, restorative escapes.

That’s why I created The Book Nook. 📚
Honestly, it started selfishly — I needed it. But it’s grown into a beautiful community of readers who are pushing the boundaries of their usual genres and exploring new worlds together.

This month we’re diving into Orlanda by Jacqueline Harpman — it’s weird, intriguing, and I can’t wait to see where it takes us!

If you’d like to join us, we meet on the first Monday of each month. Drop me a DM if you’d like to escape with us for a while 💌

Do you get fed up of going to the GP and getting told "well, if you just lost a bit of weight you'd probably feel better....." Yeah, a couple of years ago me too! It won't cure everything, BUT in perimenopause, menopause and beyond, improving your nutrition (even if you don't want or need to lose weight) could really help with some of your symptoms. It helps your hormones work better, and improves energy levels. Drop me a line to find out more

I’ve been thinking a lot about the recent NHS announcement that menopause questions will be added to health checks for women over 40.

It’s great to see this conversation widening — finally! We absolutely need more awareness, education, and open discussion around menopause.

But… I can’t help but feel a little cautious. My worry is that it could end up being more of a tick-box exercise than real, meaningful care. Menopause affects women in so many different ways and often much earlier than 40 — mid-30s is when we really need to start thinking about prevention for long-term health issues like heart disease and osteoporosis.

It also can’t be a one-size-fits-all thing. Not every woman has the “typical” hot flushes or brain fog, but that doesn’t mean they don’t need support or guidance.

So yes — well done NHS for taking this step 👏
But let’s make sure it counts. Let’s make it about real understanding, individualised care, and meaningful support for *all* women. 💜

Soo the NHS is now adding "Menopause questions" into female over 40 reviews. I believe this could be the start of something fabulous! Keeping everything crossed x

🌸 October is Menopause Awareness Month 🌸
This year’s theme is “Lifestyle Medicine” — it’s all about the little things we do every day, and how small, consistent changes can make a big difference to our health and wellbeing in perimenopause, menopause, and beyond.

✨ One of the easiest (and most effective) ways to start? Move more!
You don’t need to join a gym or do a big workout — just move your body a little more each day.

Here’s a simple, realistic way to build more movement into your life 👣

1️⃣ Wear a pedometer (nothing fancy — a cheap one will do!) for 7 days.
2️⃣ Live your life as usual and record your steps each day.
3️⃣ Add them up and divide by 7 — that’s your average daily step count.
4️⃣ The next week, aim to hit that number every single day.
5️⃣ Once you can do that for 7 days straight, add 100 steps to your daily goal.
6️⃣ Keep repeating — small increases, steady progress, real results.

💡 There’s no magic number like 10,000 steps — that was made up by pedometer marketers!
Your perfect number is the one that challenges you just a little more than yesterday.

So lace up your shoes, find your rhythm, and start moving — one step at a time. 🚶‍♀️💪
Consistency over perfection. You’ve got this!
