Welcoming Occupational Therapists on Their Menopause Journey

—

🌟 **Calling All Occupational Therapists! 🌟**

Are you an OT experiencing a crisis in confidence or a sense of loss during menopause? You’re not alone. Many of us feel this way, and it can be an incredibly isolating experience.

I personally went through surgical menopause and was blindsided by the sudden onset of symptoms. I felt like I was losing myself and struggled to see my own strengths and abilities. I needed the support of friends and colleagues to remind me of my worth and skills. Even now, there are days I have doubts.

If this resonates with you, please join us as we prepare to launch a dedicated group within our OT Tribe. This will be a safe, supportive space for occupational therapists everywhere to share their menopause journey, uplift each other, and find strength in our collective experience.

As OTs, we bring a unique perspective to this journey, one that deserves to be seen and heard. Let’s come together to support one another, share our stories, and navigate this phase of life with understanding and empathy.

🙏 **Follow us for updates and join our soon-to-launch group. Let’s empower each other through this journey.**

We never exist in isolation. Our entire life is shaped by the effect we have on others and the impact they have on us. We are biopsychosocial beings with multiple roles, responsibilities and relationships. We have to develop skills and apply these in our daily lives within our work, home and social lives.

This is a shout out to all Occupational Therapists who support people to thrive in the face of challenges and maintain their best life possible in ways that are meaningful to them.

I really like this - we all deserve that self care focus. It isn’t solely for the people we serve and is so vital!
Find what makes you radiate positive energy. Invest in that.
You deserve it!

A little reminder to those OTs who are moving in new directions, perhaps in a state of flux, building new businesses or branching out on skills and service offerings. You’ve got this. And you’ve got us to support you.

We’re looking to arrange a virtual meet-up for members in May to swap challenges, celebrations and provide some peer support. Members will receive notice via the membership once it’s all formalised.

Love this!!!

FIND YOUR PEOPLE

They are out there you know,
waiting to be found or even just to be seen,
perhaps they are hiding in plain sight?

When you do find them,
they will like you, on impact,
just as you are,
because they are ‘your’ people.

How will you know when you come across them?

It’s a little fizz,
a tiny little spark of something,
that zips unseen between you.
A soul recognising another.

Stop trying to be liked,
by those who don’t see your worth,
chances are they never will.

Find your people,
they are out there you know,
and they need you too.

Life for Living Ltd’s Director, Bridget, just couldn’t resist getting a tray with a cup at Naidex today.

I think this tray set may even fit in Bridget’s briefcase! perhaps? 😂🙌

What items do you get randomly excited about (everyday items) to create assessment kits and goody bags for rehabilitation sessions?? 🤷‍♀️
