🫶🫶When was the last time you did something just because it made you happy?
Not because it was productive. Not because someone else needed it.
Just for the sheer joy of it. 💛

Maybe you loved painting as a child, dancing around your room, or getting lost in a good book — but somewhere along the way, life got busy. Responsibilities took over, and that playful, creative part of you got pushed aside.

Here’s the thing — during menopause, reconnecting with the things that light you up isn’t a luxury… it’s essential.

Joy isn’t frivolous. It’s fuel.
It lifts your energy, soothes your stress, balances your hormones, and reminds you who you are beneath all the roles you play.

In my Foundations for Fulfilment programme, we explore exactly this — how to bring back the parts of you that you’ve put on pause.
Because fulfilment starts with feeling alive again.

💫 What did you love doing as a child that you’ve stopped doing?
Maybe it’s time to pick up that paintbrush again.

✨ DM me to join the waitlist for the next intake of Foundations for Fulfilment.
Let’s bring the joy back.

💫 Wholesome movement means tuning in to what your body needs — not what a fitness app tells you to do.
Some days that might be a brisk walk or yoga flow.
Other days, it’s gentle stretching or dancing around your kitchen.

Here’s why it matters now more than ever:
✨ Movement helps regulate mood, reduce anxiety, and improve sleep.
✨ It supports bone density and muscle mass — essential as oestrogen declines.
✨ It eases joint stiffness, boosts energy, and reduces inflammation.
✨ It reconnects you with your body in a positive, empowering way.

Wholesome movement is one of the key pillars in my Foundations for Fulfilment programme — because when we move with intention, we don’t just change how we look… we transform how we feel.

🌸 Ready to explore movement that empowers, not exhausts you?
Join me in creating a routine that supports your mind, body, and hormones — not one that fights them.

💤 You basically need a toddler bedtime routine again 💫

Menopause can seriously mess with your sleep.
One night you’re staring at the ceiling at 2am…
The next, you’re sweating, tossing, and turning like it’s your new workout 😅

Here’s the thing — during menopause, your body craves rhythm and predictability.
Just like a toddler 💤

And just like we wouldn’t let a toddler stay up scrolling TikTok or sipping coffee at 9pm… we probably shouldn’t either 👀

✨ Here’s why a bedtime routine matters:
🕯️ Your hormones love routine — it helps balance melatonin + cortisol
📵 Reducing screen time before bed boosts your natural sleep hormones
☕ Cutting back on caffeine + alcohol lets your body fully rest
🌿 A calm ritual (stretching, reading, journaling, herbal tea) tells your brain it’s time to power down

So yes, you might feel like a grown woman with a toddler bedtime — but you’ve got better pyjamas, your own snacks, and the wisdom to know sleep = self-care 💗

What’s one thing you could add (or ditch) from your evening routine tonight? 👇

Within my Foundations of Fulfilment programme we focus on support on all areas of your life which can be impacted by menopause and through 1:1 coaching help you tackle them one at a time to get you back to being you 🤍

DM me to find out more, and get yourself on the wait list for the next intake 🫶

✨ My Abundance Bowl ✨

I filled mine with meaning —

💧 Let’s talk about va**nal dryness 💧

This one’s a biggie in perimenopause — and honestly, it was the first thing that sent me to the doctor before I even knew what perimenopause was!

But here’s the thing… it’s rarely talked about. Not even whispered about in corners.

During peri and post menopause, our oestrogen levels drop, and that hormone plays a huge role in keeping the tissues around the v***a and va**na thick, stretchy, and well-lubricated.

As oestrogen declines, the va**nal pH changes, becoming more alkaline. This can lead to:
✨ Dryness and itching
✨ Soreness or stinging
✨ Pain when sitting or wiping
✨ Difficulty wearing trousers or jeans (the seam can be torture!)
✨ Pain during s*x — which can put real strain on relationships
✨ More frequent UTIs

It can make us feel uncomfortable in our own bodies — and that’s hard.

But here’s the good news: you don’t have to just put up with it.
There are things that really help:
💧 Use va**nal moisturisers and lubricants (choose ones without nasties — Yes and Gloriah are great options)
💊 Consider topical oestrogen, available on prescription
🦠 Take a good probiotic
🍊 Speak to your healthcare provider about vitamins C and E
👖 Wear comfortable, natural fibres where possible
🗣️ And most importantly — TALK ABOUT IT!

The more we normalise these conversations, the more supported and empowered we all feel.

You’re not alone, and you deserve to feel comfortable and confident again. 💕
