Hi all I am after your thoughts, I am thinking about launching this-
Thrive, Rebuilding Confidence and Resilience: A 6-Week Online Evening Programme for Navigating Menopause. I might make it 8 weeks - not sure yet

Menopause (and perimenopause) can feel like a confidence wobble you didn’t order — changes in sleep, stress levels, concentration, mood, and how you feel in yourself. For many people, it’s the uncertainty that really gets you: “Is this normal? Is it me? Am I losing it?”

This programme is designed to help you make sense of the transition, reduce anxiety, and rebuild resilience — with practical tools you can use straight away.

What to expect

A safe, supportive small group (maximum 12 people) where you can share as much or as little as you like.

Weekly 90-minute online evening sessions, led by an experienced coach and occupational therapist.

Simple, non-medical understanding of why change can feel so unsettling (stress response, uncertainty, identity shifts) — and what helps you feel steadier.

A practical wellbeing approach grounded in positive psychology and PERMAH:

Positive emotion (how to create small “lifts” even on hard days)

Engagement (focus, flow, and getting your brain back online)

Relationships (support, communication, boundaries)

Meaning (who you are beyond what’s changing)

Accomplishment (confidence through small, doable wins)

Tools for calming anxious loops, strengthening self-trust, and building habits that stick.

What you’ll gain

A clearer understanding of the transition — and why it can affect confidence and anxiety.

Practical strategies to feel calmer, steadier, and more resilient day-to-day.

Increased confidence in your strengths and your ability to adapt to change.

Better boundaries and communication — at home and at work.

A supportive peer network — because doing this alone is exhausting.

Important note: This programme is not medical advice and won’t diagnose or treat symptoms. It’s a coaching and wellbeing-focused space to help you understand the transition, reduce anxiety, and build resilience.

Commitment: 90 minutes each week for 6 weeks – an investment in you.

I've not thought about price, start dates or anything like that yet but I'd love to know what you think

Today I delivered the first of 6 workshops - Thrive for people returning to work after cancer treatment.

I’m so excited about it as it’s been something that I have been wanting to do for years.

There are loads of support groups out there and employee assistant programmes but nothing that combines group coaching forms positive psychology framework, action learning and the power of creating a community of individuals that support and cheer eachother along, learning in real time as they struggle with with need to build confidence, coping strategies and resilience.

Those of you that know me, know that I am speaking from experience. It wasn’t until I went back to work and tried to be the person that I always had been, the person that people expected me to be, that things really hit me and impacted horribly on my ability to cope and of course my mental health.

Delighted to have the chance to pilot Thrive in this way in collaboration with SouthEast and Central Essex Mind
and Helen Rollason Cancer Charity - HRCC.

The temptation to focus on process and what’s tangible versus who we are as an individual and how we are as a team

Quick update

I’m delaying the start of my 6-Part Starting Your Own Business programme a little, to fit around VR/redundancy decisions/outcomes and make sure we have a good-sized group (it makes the experience so much richer when there’s a proper cohort).

📌 New proposed start: end of February (I’ll confirm the exact date ASAP)

But I don’t want anyone to lose momentum between now and then.

If you’d like to get going now, you can book a 1:1 chat with me — this is included in the programme anyway, and it’s a brilliant way to get clear on what you’re doing, what’s realistic, and what your next steps are.

If you want to secure your place for the February start, pop me a message saying “Secure my place” and I’ll send you the info.

(And if you’re feeling wobbly about it all — totally normal. We’ll take it one step at a time.)

If you want more details DM me or email me jo@letsgetonwithit.co.uk- I'll ping you more info.
