The Nutritional Bean, Bruton (2026)

05/05/2026

All the time women are being sucked into spending their hard earned money on often expensive and s*xy products they don’t need.

While the really beneficial interventions are far more simple, very often free or low cost, and aren’t that s*xy. Which is why they get ignored.

They can’t be branded and marketed beautifully and sold with a massive mark up.

Remember my friends, the menopause industry is a billion dollar industry, and growing, so we will be probably be seeing a lot more nonsense and unicorn products coming on to the market.

You won’t be the one benefiting from these.

Nor will your exquisitely calibrated system that’s evolved over millennia.

It’ll be the gazIlionaires and profiteers.

What does make a difference:

Eating more veg and less crap
Moving regularly
Laughing with your buddies
Soaking up the sun
Doing the personal growth
Sleeping
Having or***ms
Doing all this 👆🏻knowing you’re not lining squillionaires’ pockets

Love

Pinch punch it’s the 1st of May - time for a card pull.

Would you like me to pull you a card? If so, just reply below with comment, or something nice, or an emoji and I’ll send it to you privately. You can also ask me privately for one by sending me a message.

You could call it a big day with it being Beltane, a full moon and the first of May all happening today.

Those are plenty of reasons for me to pull a card for you, but you don’t need any reason at all.

I’m sharing mine - one for the month ahead (feminine) and one for today (destiny life).

On Monday 11th May, the incredible initiative launched by the incredible returns for a second year. I am so happy to be running a workshop on Monday 11th on Anxiety and Rage in midlife - why it happens, how to ease the intensity, and practical steps to support yourself with them.

The fact is that many, many women experience often overwhelming anxiety and rage, but it’s not discussed or understood because of the very real shame associated with these emotions.

And yet, they are entirely natural responses.

It really helps to know WHY these feelings are so common, and so intense in midlife. It enables you to...

💥feel validated
💥normalise it
💥reduce your self blame
💥give you permission to feel the emotions
💥redirect the intensity more constructively
💥see the complexity of it rather than reduce it to ‘just’ hormones
💥reframe the cultural context of anxiety and rage, and see them as meaningful and valid responses to our complex lives.

In this workshop I will also share the simple ways to reduce the intensity of these protective emotions. The tools that work straight away so that you can breathe, have more perspective, create space in the moment so you’re better able to respond instead of react, and so you’re not consumed by the emotions.

And the longer term strategies that support the context of your situation so over time, so you’re be able to channel any rage and anxiety much more easily and reduce the intensity and frequency of them showing up.

So come along to this FREE event where I’m sharing these amazing tools and strategies.

Prompt start at 7pm-8.30pm
Monday 11th May
Free!

I hope to see you there 💖

𝐈’𝐯𝐞 𝐚𝐥𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐚 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 ‘𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐰𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧’.

It used to make me squirm and give me the heeby jeebies, in the same way that ‘sensual’ women who wear flowing red or purple clothes and speak breathlessly also do.

But I suddenly get it. The ‘wild’ woman isn’t some scary, volatile, unpredictable she-beast to be wary of.

She is you and me.
Just without the conditioning, the shame, the repression, the apology and without the fear.

She is you and me, but the version you and me who is able to communicate clearly, love deeply, take pleasure and move freely.
She is the you and me who can hold her boundaries, love her body, rely on her intuition and live in connection with her whole being.

All our lives, and for many generations, the ‘light’ side of femininity has been the only side that has been encouraged - even allowed. But we do have this whole other side to us which is fearless, confident, unapologetic, commanding and powerful - the side we’ve been told isn’t feminine enough, or is even too masculine.

This is the side that is linked to our more primal, animal nature, which enables us to be fierce, protective, playful, boundaried and sensual.

Many unbalanced aspects of our life and world that shaped us in our formative years, including societal expectations, our upbringing, religion, the patriarchy, have cut us off from this more primal side of our being and inherent nature. As it did for our mothers, grandmothers and ancestors.

It does it to men, too. They’ve been disconnected from their inherent sensitivity, from their softness and emotional depth - from their natural femininity.

I believe there are multiple invitations to connect with this wild woman through our lives. Once a month, during pregnancies, labour, as mothers and carers. And, I think perimenopause is another very potent time, when our hormones help us to remember who she is.

She’s in each and every one of us. And she peeps through - can you give her more space?

Thanks to for the inspiration for this post.

𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐚𝐬 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐀𝐫𝐞, by Dr Emily Nagoski, is a great and validating guide to female s*x drive.

Your woman is going through profound shifts during perimenopause, which often deeply affects her enjoyment of s*x.

She may be anxious, tearful, chaotic, full of rage, on top of all the physical symptoms and challenges that midlife throws her way.

You are not obsolete, you haven’t lost her; she needs you.

Be the stable presence for her while her mental, emotional, physical and spiritual world gets turned upside down.

Perimenopause is an isolating experience and she may not have the words to explain it to you. If you can be curious, ask questions, properly listen to her and share your own inner world, you’ll be building intimacy.

These small (but meaningful) ways of building connection feed intimacy and, broadly speaking, is the foreplay she needs.

If you can be open to a new way of having s*x, you can have 𝙖𝙢𝙖𝙯𝙞𝙣𝙜 s*x. Better than ever in fact.

𝐈𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐞𝐱 𝐢𝐧 𝐦𝐢𝐝𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐥𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐬, 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 6 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩...

1. If vaginal pain is an issue, please go see your doctor. Painful s*x needs support. Be open to oestrogen pessaries, which make a huge difference for many women. Also, definitely use a lubricant. I love

2. The likelihood is that for s*x to improve, you will need to initiate the changes you need. For that, you need energy, so, to build that capacity, you need to nurture yourself. That means rest, good food, laughing, improving sleep etc. My personal favourite is getting TCM acupuncture.

3. Nurture your desire, just for your own pleasure: read erotica, wear gorgeous lingerie that makes you feel hot, have a daily or**sm practice, and go indulge in fantasy - let your imagination run (nobody else will
know...)

4. Have an honest chat with your partner. Clearly, kindly, framing it as a need to evolve as couple now that your body is changing. Make it collaborative - this is not about apportioning blame. In turn, listen.

5. Brush up on techniques, explore anything that intrigues or excites you. is a great platform for this. Consider looking in to Ta***ic s*x, which amplifies connection, arousal and pleasure.

6. If you feel weighed down and need help working through anything, especially shame, fear, trauma, blocks, get professional support. There are wonderful practitioners who can help. I can personally recommend

𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐡 𝐢𝐭, 𝐢𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐡 𝐢𝐭.

𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐧’𝐭 𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐞𝐱 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐧 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐲𝐨𝐮.

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮’𝐯𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐨𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐤𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐞𝐱 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮.

Many women realise that there’s something off with s*x, but aren’t always able to pinpoint what’s wrong.

Aside from the many reasons specific to perimenopause that make s*x complicated and difficult, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐤 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 is that the kind of s*x many women have isn’t aligned with how 𝘧𝘦𝘮𝘢𝘭𝘦 𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬𝘴.

The kind of lo******ng many are used to is informed by p**n and is 𝐠𝐨𝐚𝐥-oriented, and creates pressure that can make true enjoyment quite challenging.

The kind of pleasure that really works for us, is 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞-oriented. That means the 𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 of the s*x you’re having is 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨. We need presence, slowness, intention, depth, erotic and emotional charge.

So if it’s a kiss, make it stomach flipping, or if it’s touch, make it luxuriously sensual.

When you reach perimenopause and this isn’t happening, you stop being able to override what your body knows so clearly (𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘣𝘰𝘥𝘺 𝘢𝘭𝘸𝘢𝘺𝘴 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸𝘴). You can’t keep going along with the way you’ve always done it by people pleasing, or out of habit, or duty.

𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐡𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐩𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞.
Your body needs, or maybe even demands authenticity; it becomes non-negotiable.

This isn’t about shifting the centring of s*xual pleasure from one partner to the other; experience-led s*x benefits both of you. For s*x to continue to be enjoyable for both of you, it must evolve.

So know that if you’re struggling, this isn’t the end of your s*xual potential. Look on it as an invitation to discover what truly expansive s*x can actually be.

If this is resonating with you, know that it can get better...so much better.

Desire and arousal and interpersonal dynamics are nuanced and complicated. So this post cannot capture all the reasons.

But here are 11 really good reasons why s*x can be a struggle in midlife specifically. If you’re struggling, I hope you find some validation here.

Solution-wise, very often testosterone or HRT is discussed.

And of course, they can be helpful, especially vaginal oestrogen, which is so well worth discussing with your doctor if you suffer with vaginal dryness.

But ‘replacement’ hormones offer quick fixes that don’t touch the true, deeper reason that s*x feels unsatisfying at midlife.

That’s coming next. Stay tuned…

𝐈𝐧 𝐦𝐢𝐝𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞, 𝐰𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐬𝐞𝐱 𝐠𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐰𝐨 𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬....⁣
⁣
Either they lose the strings that have kept them conforming so their wild, sensual side can be unleashed...⁣
⁣..or the opposite happens and s*x is painful, unsatisfying, and not that tempting to engage in.⁣
⁣
Of course, it’s not always as clear cut as this and there’ll be plenty of you sitting somewhere between the two. But for others this is not the case. For them s*x has got formulaic, too quick, unexciting - maybe for their partners too.⁣⁣ ⁣
⁣
In midlife, many women feel somewhat hopeless and stuck with this. They stuff their naturally wild, sensuous and erotic natures in a sealed box, shove it under the bed or somewhere hard to reach, and resign themselves to the status quo. ⁣
⁣
If you’re in the latter camp, I want you to know that perimenopause has not broken you. You’re not inherently bad at s*x. It most definitely 𝐜𝐚𝐧 get much better.⁣
⁣
What I’m going to be sharing over the coming days I hope will make sense of it all, and give you (and your partner) some practical ideas and resources.⁣
⁣
Meanwhile, I want to you to feel seen, and to celebrate those women who are feeling wild and free in the bedroom.⁣

We need to talk about midlife and our s3x lives.⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
I’ve been thinking about this a lot recently, hearing the stories of clients, seeing midlife women pour their hearts out in online forums, reading about it...it’s affecting so many women, and the conversations are missing the point. ⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
When s3x drive and libido slows down or goes AWOL, so often the focus is on the big T, testosterone. And true, T can help with drive and mood. But we’re so quick to focus on that being the sole factor.⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
There are multiple factors that play into desire - how 𝙜𝙤𝙤𝙙 it is being a big fat major one. ⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
Some of us are lucky to be having a wonderful time between the sheets, or elsewhere, which is just brilliant.⁣⁣
But others among us are really not. It’s got stale, formulaic, bish-bash-bosh and unexciting. ⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
Ladies, if the s3x isn’t good, if it’s not evolving and refining and as a woman you’re struggling with desire, in perimenopause there is nowhere to hide. Perimenopause is a truth teller. It’s no longer possible to go through the motions on autopilot and expect the body to respond.⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
The trouble is, so much of what we think of as ‘normal’ seggs is outcome focused, and p**n informed - which isn’t what tends to create desire for women, and which actually caps her pleasure. Let’s call it goal-oriented. No blame on anyone here btw, and I believe this is why desire for so many midlife women is shut away, lying dormant, with just an occasional flicker.⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
In perimenopause, and I may be speaking for too many here - we’re all different - quality becomes so important. That means, to generalise, slowing down, being 100% present and intentional to what you’re doing. So if it’s a kiss, focus on making it a truly toe-curling one. If it’s stroking, make it super sensual. Tip: slow down. Let’s call it experience-oriented pleasure. As I understand it, Ta**ra epitomises this. ⁣⁣⁣⁣
