STRESSED? BURNED OUT? …OR PERIMENOPAUSAL?

This National Stress Down Day (July 24), let’s talk honestly about stress and how perimenopause magnifies it in ways that often go unseen 👀

Too many women are told:
💬 “You’re too young.”
💬 “You just need a holiday.”
💬 “Don’t burn out working such long hours.”
💬 “Take an antidepressant.”

But here’s what’s really happening:
🔸 Declining progesterone = poor sleep, wired-but-tired nights
🔸 Estrogen chaos = cortisol spikes + anxiety
🔸 Sandwich Generation = The mental load: unrelenting, kids, parents, work, home, identity

😔 During perimenopause, a woman’s risk of depression TRIPLES.
💔 And su***de rates peak for women aged 45–49.

It’s not “just stress”, it’s hormones, pressure, and lack of support.

📢 HR Managers + Workplace Leaders:
Now’s the time to embed Menopause Aware Mental Health Strategies into your wellbeing plans. Your action could be the difference between:

💥 Breakdown or breakthrough
💡 Burnout or belonging
💓 Silence or support

✨ Let’s not just stress less. Let’s support smarter. ✨

Hello Goddesses,

I recently took up a call to action with the inspiring , who is an honours student at the University of Tasmania but based in Adelaide.

Sofia is currently seeking participants for a study that she is conducting.

Sofia has recognised that women’s bodily experiences of ageing in relation to daily practices of dress and fashion is an under researched area and one that she is very passionate about it and wants to bring lighter and visibility to us as we age. .

The study is about women's bodily experience of ageing and how they engage with daily practices of dress and fashion.

She wants to talk with and learn from a variety of women between the ages of 40 and 60 from diverse backgrounds and perspectives.

I have been asked to keep a reflective diary for two weeks, meet for an in-person or online interview lasting approximately one hour and to fill out a short (approx. 2 minutes) questionnaire at the end of the interview. Super easy, right!

If you think that your unique experience will help build a richer understanding of positive cultures of ageing and dress, please reach out to Sofia.

Sofia will fill in any gaps you have before you get started and will formally get your consent before you proceed.

If you have any questions, please reach out to her on srgatti@utas.edu.au

Do you have joint pain that’s crept up on you? A frozen shoulder? Aching hands, knees, hips? Sudden stiffness in the morning?

It is not just “getting older.” It’s your body whispering and, in my case, it was shouting, “Pay attention!”

This National Pain Week let’s shift the narrative around midlife women’s pain particularly during perimenopause. What often gets dismissed as “normal” is actually a signal to support, not punish, your body.

🔍 As estrogen levels decline, many women experience joint stiffness, swelling, and reduced flexibility.

🔍 Estrogen supports collagen production and joint lubrication so its drop can lead to inflammation and pain.

🔍 Fluctuating hormones like estrogen and prostaglandins can cause intense uterine contractions and cramping.

🔍 Add to that unpredictable ovulation and cycle changes, and perimenopause becomes a perfect storm for physical discomfort.

🔍Endometriosis, Adenomyosis, Fibroids and Migraines often flare up during perimenopause, causing heavier bleeding, more severe cramping, and more intense attacks.

🔍Pain that is misunderstood or minimised doesn’t just stay in the body. It impacts mental health, because depression and pain have a complex, bidirectional relationship, often more prevalent during perimenopause.

At Mimi Moon Meno, we guide women through these changes with compassion, education, and real-world strategies grounded in our mantra:

✨Movement: Gentle stretching, walking, or yoga to reduce stiffness and inflammation
✨Mindset: Listen to your body and release the guilt of “pushing through”. Get help, see a specialist.
✨ Modify: Hydrate, prioritise omega-3s, and investigate nutrient levels like vitamin D, iron, and check out your thyroid function

Let’s not let pain be another reason women feel isolated or unsupported.

💌 If you need support and guidance on how to manage your pain, reach out.

Harmony. It is a constant practice.

Harmony. It is not easy, because what are you really in control of.

Harmony. Takes a step back to move forward.

Having Harmony as one of my core values is a constant reminder to “Move with the flow of life in Harmony”, because at times it feels like everything is out of order.

Since stepping into the perimenopause phase of my life, it has often felt like I’ve been handed a new challenge every week. A new symptom to address. A new routine to tweak. A new part of myself to discover.

But with time, a lot of deep breathing (sometimes with side eye) and a lot of self-kindness I realised something powerful. Menopause is about the evolution!

Moving in harmony for me is about taking a step back from fighting the tides of change and starting to move with the flow of life in harmony.

As our philosophical friend Heraclitus said way back in 500 BCE: “The only constant in life is change.” And when you live in a state of constant change (hello, hormones!), the only path forward is one of flexible strength and graceful (as best you can on the day) adaptability.

Every little tweak, boundary, and behaviour shift has brought me closer to the life I want and the energy I deserve and the energy I want you to feel as well.

✨ Harmony doesn’t mean staying the same. It means tuning in, adjusting your rhythm, and flowing with your real, beautiful, evolving self.

At Mimi Moon Meno, Harmony is a business value because it’s also a survival strategy and a soulful one at that. A quiet confidence that even in flux, you’re on the right track.

💌 Ask yourself this, what can you modify today, big or small, to bring more harmony into your world?

Let’s stop fighting change and start moving with it. Together.

Midlife belly fat? It’s not just about food it’s about hormones, health, and the silent shifts no one warned us about.

This National Diabetes Week let’s move beyond blame and into understanding. Weight gain during perimenopause and menopause isn’t simply about willpower. It’s about what’s happening inside your body.

🔺 Estrogen drops. Cortisol rises. Insulin shifts.
This hormonal trifecta can shift fat storage from hips to belly even if you haven’t changed a thing. And that abdominal weight? It’s not just frustrating. It can be dangerous.

👉 The facts:
• Over 56% of Australian women are overweight or obese.
• Women aged 45–54 have the highest obesity rate in the country.
• Visceral fat (fat stored around the belly) increases the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and 11 types of cancer including breast, ovarian, and endometrial.
• Heart disease in Australia, almost every hour of every day 1 Australian woman dies of heart disease.

And for women already living with diabetes, menopause brings even more challenges:
🩸 Fluctuating blood glucose levels
🛏️ Sleep disturbances from night sweats
🍽️ Increased insulin resistance
💔 Libido loss and vaginal dryness
😓 Mood swings that can mimic blood sugar changes

It’s confusing, confronting and often, completely unspoken.

This is where Movement. Mindset. Modify. becomes your daily mantra:
🌀 Move your body with intention: even light exercise improves insulin sensitivity and shifts visceral fat.
🧠 Mindset is your game changer: drop the shame. Understand the science. This isn’t your fault.
🔧 Modify your meals gently: more protein, fiber, and healthy fats to support blood sugar and fullness. Nourishment, not restriction.

📩 Reach out if you’d like support with managing menopause + metabolic health. Here’s to shifting the conversation (not just the weight) 💞

She’s not flashy, your liver. She doesn’t get a lot of attention. But during menopause, she’s working overtime.

When estrogen exits stage left, it’s your liver that supports you and this is what she’s doing behind the scenes:

✨ Hormone processing + regulation: Your liver helps break down and remove excess estrogen, progesterone, and even adrenal hormones like cortisol. It produces proteins that carry hormones through the bloodstream basically, it’s your internal logistics queen.

✨ Menopause support: After menopause, when the ovaries reduce estrogen output, the liver steps in to metabolise and excrete what’s left. It also converts other hormones (like androstenedione) into a gentler form of estrogen called estrone.

✨ If the liver’s sluggish…? You may notice more intense symptoms, such as mood swings, fatigue, headaches, weight gain, or hormone-sensitive conditions like estrogen dominance. It’s also tied to cholesterol, insulin resistance, and even bone health.

🪬Did you know menopause can increase the risk of fatty liver disease due to hormonal shifts? Another reason to give your liver the love it deserves.

So how do we support her?
🍋 Start your day with lemon water/Aloe Vera Juice to aid digestion.
🥦 Eat your cruciferous veg (think broccoli, cauliflower, kale).
🌀 Movement daily activates your body’s natural detox and boosts blood flow.
💭 Mindset empowers you to listen to your body, not punish it. Shift your mindset from control to release “I let go of what no longer serves me.”
🦋 Modify your routine with small, intentional choices that support balance, inside and out
💎 Add Amethyst to your bedside this beautiful crystal supports clarity, cleansing, and peaceful sleep.
🩷 Remember to always practice Movement. Mindset. Modify and show your liver some love and she will love you back.

As always, I’m here, your Meno Concierge in your corner.

World Chocolate Day? Don’t mind if we do.

And if you ask me, there’s no better excuse to unwrap something dark, delicious and... medicinal (yes, really!).

Dark chocolate isn’t just a comfort food it’s also a quiet little superhero for women navigating perimenopause and menopause.

Here’s why:
🍫 Mood boost: Chocolate contains magnesium and tryptophan, both of which help support serotonin our “feel good” hormone that can dip during hormonal changes. No wonder it feels like a hug in food form.

❤️ Heart health: Flavonoids in dark chocolate have been linked to improved cardiovascular health and reduced arterial stiffness particularly helpful post-menopause when heart disease risk increases.

🔥 Desire & libido: Some research even suggests that regular chocolate eaters report slightly higher sexual desire.

🕰️ Body weight surprises: One study showed that eating milk chocolate in the morning (yes, really!) may reduce hunger later in the day. Moderation and timing matter but the body is beautifully complex.

Of course, not all chocolate is created equal the darker, the better. And while science is still evolving in this area, one thing is clear: pleasure is productive. Especially when it’s mindfully chosen.

Chocolate the Meno Concierge way:
🌀 Movement, share with a loved one or a friend
🧘 Mindset, ditch the guilt. Savour it. Slowly.
🔧 Modify, choose quality over quantity, and notice how it feels in your body
💗 And yes… my personal favourite? Haigh’s dark peppermint frogs. Pure joy. Pure nostalgia. Pure magic.

This World Chocolate Day, unwrap with intention. Celebrate with flavour. And remember you don’t need to earn your treats. You just need to enjoy them.

📩 If cravings are intense, your mood’s feeling flat, or you’re wondering what your body is really asking for… send me a message. I’m here to support you as your Meno Concierge. No shame, just clarity.

What’s the cost of doing nothing about menopause at work?

💸 $17 billion a year that’s what it’s costing the Australian economy in lost earnings, productivity & super.

But the quieter cost?
➖ Turnover
➖ Absenteeism
➖ Disengagement
➖ Missed leadership

And for women? It’s brain fog. Sleepless nights. Anxiety. Silence.
Some step away from roles they love… simply because they don’t feel safe enough to ask for help.

🗣 When workplaces create safety, not shame, everything changes.

As one manager said after our session:
“The presentation changed how we engage with one another. A breath of fresh air.” — Megan Freeman, Pathology SA

🟣 Equal Pay Day is coming (Aug 19).
It’s a reminder of gender gaps that still exist.
And yes.....menopause support is a gender equity issue.

⚖️ It’s about:
✔️ Flexibility
✔️ Retention
✔️ Mental wellbeing
✔️ Real inclusion

I wrote about how businesses can start that convo here 👇
