A little indulgence (it is still Christmas, after all) after a long, crisp country walk with Willow and my husband. Wrapped up warm, rosy-cheeked, and fuelled by great conversations about our aims, plans, and intentions for 2026.

I don’t really believe in resolutions, I prefer a broader sense of how I’d like the year to feel. I love choosing a guiding word instead.

My word for the year ahead is Flourish — to bloom, expand, and succeed in my work, my health, and my overall wellbeing 🌱

Do you choose a word to guide your year? If so, I’d love to hear it.

Local to Salisbury and climbing the walls after Christmas hibernation?

TONIGHT — come and shake it off with me and The Evolution Choir as we kick-start the pre–New Year’s party at the Coach and Horses Pub from 7.30pm 🎶✨

Expect banging party tunes, a dash of Christmas sparkle (it’s still Christmas until New Year’s Day, obviously 😉), and maximum fun, zero seriousness.

I bang on about finding joy during menopause — so come and experience mine live and loud.

Sing. Laugh. Party.💃🎤✨

🎶✨ Tonight’s the Night!
It’s Tinsel & Tunes with Evo Choir at 7:30pm! Get down to The Coach & Horses for an evening of live music, good vibes, and plenty of pints. Don’t miss it! 🍻🎤

If you are feeling guilty about chilling out, not doing much over christmas period, especially in that limbo land week between Christmas and New Year, remember this...

Did you get a little Christmas money and find yourself wondering how to treat yourself?

Maybe it’s some new clothes, that piece of jewellery you’ve been eyeing up… or maybe you’re craving something a bit more nourishing.

If so, why not gift yourself some time just for you with a half-day or full-day retreat in beautiful Wi******er at Vita Skin Spa 🤍

They have several truly lovely retreats coming up over the next six months, each with its own gentle focus and theme.

Some of these days are thoughtfully designed with menopause support in mind, and I’ll be there at a few of them, offering a group coaching session as part of the experience.

All the details are in the comments, and everything is available to book now.

It could be the perfect way to start the year feeling supported, rested, and cared for ✨

To my wonderful Unmenopaused community 💛

As Christmas arrives, I want to thank you for being here, for your trust, your openness, and the way you show up for yourselves and for one another. This community exists because of you.

Menopause often arrives alongside other big life changes, shifting roles, changing bodies, grief, loss, and new beginnings. For many of us, that can make times like Christmas feel especially tender. There can be joy and connection, alongside sadness, absence, overwhelm… and the occasional hot flush at the worst possible moment 🔥😉

Wherever menopause has you right now, I hope you can meet yourself with kindness, rest when you need to, and take up space exactly as you are (even if you need to step outside for “fresh air” halfway through Christmas dinner).

Wishing you comfort, compassion, and connection this Christmas, and gentle hope as we move into the New Year.
With love and gratitude,

Caroline ✨

Christmas Eve can hold a lot. Expectations, emotions, memories, and change. If menopause has taught us anything, it’s that self-kindness isn’t optional — it’s essential.
Whisper it again if you need to 💛✨

Sending Christmas cards isn’t quite as common these days. Life is busy, and we’re almost constantly connected through social media, messages, and emails.

Yet there’s still something really special about pausing to send a personal message, especially to someone you haven’t connected with in a while, or someone you know could do with a little lift right now.

It doesn’t need to be a long, carefully penned letter. Just a thoughtful voice note or message that says, “I’m thinking of you.” Those small moments of connection can be incredibly mood-boosting for both the sender and the receiver.

Have you sent or received a message like that recently? What better time than the festive season to reach out 💛

This also relates closely to what we discuss in The Menopause Plan, which begins in January. Whether you join the small-group online programme or work with me 1:1, we spend time exploring how to ask for help and support when we need it.

Resilience is a wonderful strength – but relying on it all the time can quietly lead to overwhelm and burnout. None of us are meant to do everything alone, especially during menopause. Connection and support truly matter.

Who came to mind for you today? ✨

Understanding my hormonal cycle has changed the way I treat myself, completely.

I now expect my energy, motivation, and focus to ebb and flow across the month, and instead of fighting it, I work with it.
Some days are for pushing forward, creating, and getting things done.
Other days are for slowing down, resting, and being gentle with myself, without guilt.

Because I pay attention to those cues, I actually feel better overall… and I’m more productive on the days when my energy is naturally higher. Self-compassion has become a tool, not a weakness.

So many of us were never taught how our hormones change throughout the month or how deeply they affect how we feel, think, and perform, especially at work.

💡 If you’d like to learn more, I offer Hormones 101 workshops for workplaces, helping teams understand hormonal cycles, energy patterns, and how to support better wellbeing and productivity for everyone.

Because when we understand our bodies, we stop blaming ourselves and start thriving.
