🛏️Magnesium can be helpful for sleep – but it’s only part of the picture.

If you’re waking regularly, it’s worth getting curious about why.🤔

• Waking in a hot sweat? Hormones may be playing a role
• Waking because you need the loo? That can be linked to bladder or pelvic floor issues
• Wide awake at 3am? Stress and cortisol are often involved
• Struggling to get to sleep at all? Your nervous system may still be in “go” mode

Different sleep problems need different solutions.

Supplements can definitely support you, but real change usually comes from addressing the root cause.

This isn’t about doing more – it’s about doing the right things for your body and ensuring they're sustainable long term and not just a sticky plaster fix.

😇How to calm your nervous system without the need for long meditation sessions

Your brain and body just need signals that the threat has passed and that can come in various forms and micro moments of calm can be enough:
• A few slow, deep breaths
• Stepping outside for fresh air
• Stretching your neck and shoulders
• Placing a hand on your chest and pausing

These small moments help shift you out of fight or flight and back to safety, ending that stress cycle.

💫Little resets, done often, really do add up.

What's your favourite way to reset?

🪷After a busy day, what calms you the most?
Exercise ..... relaxation....a hobby....food/drink....

There’s no one solution fits all (and we definitely won't judge!) – you need to find something that genuinely helps you switch off, not just something you feel you “should” do.

🔋Do you feel constantly exhausted and lacking in energy?

Last week in the workshop we looked at energy drains – and for most women, it’s not one big thing that’s exhausting them, it’s the drip drip drip of everyday life.

Constant rushing. Saying yes when you mean no. Poor sleep. Carrying everyone else’s mental load. Looking after others before yourself.

Individually they don’t seem like much… but together they can leave you feeling shattered before the day has even started.

A gentle question to ask yourself today:
👉 What’s one thing that’s quietly draining my energy right now?

And, then… what’s one small thing I could do to protect it? Could you reduce or eliminate that drain? What activities fill you with joy and energy, that you could do to counteract that drain?

Awareness is the first step to change

🥰💤When people think of Pilates, they often think “core” or “strength” – but one big benefit is how it helps you unwind.

Slow, controlled movement, focused breathing and being present in your body all help switch your nervous system out of fight or flight and into rest and restore.

That’s why Pilates can be such a n amazing tool when you’re feeling wired, overwhelmed or carrying tension.

I’ve shared a gentle rest & relax Pilates workout on YouTube – it’s not about pushing yourself or getting into a sweat, just about giving your body permission to soften and reset.

Go give it a try!

💤Sleeping well is about the daytime too
If you’re struggling with sleep, it’s really tempting to focus only on your wind down routine – lights low, screens off, herbal tea in hand.

That definitely helps… but good sleep actually starts much earlier in the day.

Daytime movement, getting outside in natural light, managing stress levels and fuelling yourself properly all send powerful signals to your nervous system that it’s safe to rest later on.

Think of sleep as a 24 hour process, not just something you fix at bedtime.

A small walk outside. A stretch break. Stepping away from your phone. Those things matter more than you might realise.

😞One of the women in my workshop shared something that sadly isn’t uncommon.

She went to her GP about peri menopause symptoms and was told she was “too young”.

I get so angry with this ridiculous response. It's almost like 'sorry your name's not on the list, you're not coming in' 😡

And this is why advocating for yourself matters.

If you can, go armed with information:
• Keep a symptom journal
• Track changes over time
• Be clear and specific about how it’s affecting your daily life

And if you’re dismissed? Bloody push back. Ask for a second opinion. Ask for it to be documented.

It damn well shouldn’t be this way – but use your voice as you deserve to be listened to!!

This week gave me a harsh reminder of something we rarely think about…

We take pain-free movement for granted.

After a bouldering accident my daughter managed to seriously fracture her elbow and ended up having urgent surgery at the weekend.

As a parent the whole thing was really scary and emotional.

Watching someone suddenly unable to use their arm normally and being in such incredible pain puts a lot into perspective, least of all the fragility of our body!

So many people train purely for aesthetics.

But this is why I bang on about strength, mobility and looking after your body for the long term.

Because movement is not just about how you look.

It’s about:
• independence
• resilience
• function
• quality of life

We obviously can’t prevent every accident.

But we can build stronger, more capable bodies that serve us well for as long as possible and that hopefully will help us recover quicker!

Never underestimate the privilege of waking up in a body that moves well.

Look after it.

It’s carrying you through your whole life.

💬I’ll be speaking at the FOUNDERS Playground this May. This fabulous event created by the equally fabulous brings together founders, creatives and investors from across the South West – a place where ideas get unstuck and where the right conversations can change everything.

Go grab your ticket – it’s one not to be missed!!

PS. When I say 'speaking', I’m doing a pitch (eek). I couldn’t get more out of my comfort zone if I tried, but this is the year I challenge myself!! 😱

😍A reminder we all need:
There is no single menopause experience.
💫Every woman is different.
💫Symptoms look different.
💫Timing is different.
💫Responses to support and solutions are different.

What works brilliantly for one person might do very little for another – and that doesn’t mean anything has gone wrong.

Comparison isn’t helpful here. Curiosity, compassion and personalisation are.

Your experience is valid, exactly as it is.❤️
