Menopause can feel like having a rebellious teenager living in your body. From being wide awake at 3am to mood swings and then being too hot, it feels hard to stay calm, focused and on top of work and home life.

If your menopausal body feels like it is doing it's own thing - with brain fog, fatigue and poor sleep - you're not alone. The good news? There are natural ways to gently guide your body back to balance so you can feel more like yourself again 💛

👉 What's your most rebellious teenager symptom right now?

This is definitely me today.

Getting everything ready for my daughter to go off to university next week, general stress and a lack of sleep are combining to give me brain fog. I definitely feel as if I have too many tabs open in my brain and it is struggling to cope.

I am going to take some of my own advice and do some EFT tapping to make it all clearer!

Drop a 💻 if your brain's running too many tabs right now!

Sleep and I fell out during menopause, and we’re still not on good terms! I’m joining a research project for the next 2 months to figure it out. I’ll share the good stuff here!

✨ Are your sleep patterns different since menopause too? Comment 'YES' if you relate and follow me if you want to see what makes a difference - I'll be sharing updates as I go.

Holidays aren’t just about sunshine and cocktails—they’re a chance to notice what really makes us feel good. 🌸

This trip taught me 5 things I’m bringing home… and one thing I’m leaving behind:

✅ Sleeping more (menopause sleep matters!)
✅ Smiling more (instant stress relief)
✅ Spending more quality time with my children
✅ Doing what I love—not just what everyone else needs
✅ Planning longer breaks (and mini-breaks at home!)

❌ And what I’m NOT keeping? Baskets of bread, pastries and pancakes every morning! Delicious, yes. But my digestion? Not a fan.

👉 Which of these would make the biggest difference for YOU right now?
Comment below—I’d love to hear!

(Psst… something exciting is coming soon to help you track habits like these to ease your menopause symptoms … 👀)

This carousel shares gentle reminders to help you stay grounded and feel reassured while you wait. Because no matter what happens, there’s always a way forward.

💬 Which reminder do you think will help you most this week?

"Welcome to the very first Weekly Menopause Giggle! 🎉

Because yes — menopause can be challenging… but it’s also packed with moments so ridiculous that if we don’t laugh, we might just cry (and who needs puffy eyes on top of hot flushes?).

I’m starting this weekly post because laughter is more than just a quick mood lift — it’s genuinely good for your health. Science tells us it:
✨ Lowers stress hormones
✨ Eases muscle tension (bye-bye, jaw clenching)
✨ Helps keep your immune system strong
✨ Boosts brain power

Plus, sharing a laugh reminds us we’re not alone in this wild hormonal ride. Menopause is easier when we can see the funny side together.

💌 Share this with a friend who could do with a laugh today

We flew through our natural menopause support hormone training yesterday — and even had time to practise on each other! 🌸

One nutrient, double the benefits!

Struggling with brain fog, low mood, or joint pain during menopause? Or maybe your child is finding it hard to concentrate, learn or stay calm during revision?

Omega 3s to the rescue!

These essential fats support hormone balance and brain health — making them a powerful ally for you and your kids during exam season.

👩‍🦱 For you: Omega 3 can help ease menopause symptoms like hot flushes, inflammation, and low mood.
🧒 For them: Omega 3 supports focus, memory, and emotional resilience — exactly what's needed for exam success!

🛒 Slide 3 has simple food additions to boost Omega 3 naturally (spoiler alert: it’s not just about oily fish 🐟).

Save this post for when you're shopping and tag a fellow mum who’d love a two-for-one health boost ❤️

The South Wales Menopause Community has launched a survey to gather the views of women who are going/have been through menopause in order to lobby for more services to provide support over this often challenging part of our lives. The more responses received the more power the results will have.

All responses are gratefully received and should only take about 15-20 minutes.

💧✨ The Power of Hydration! ✨💧

To celebrate Nutrition & Hydration Week, I want to share something amazing…

After years of me gently reminding my daughter to drink more water, she finally downloaded a tracking app—and within just 5 days, she was blown away by the results!

✅ No more headaches
✅ Feeling way less stressed & much more positive
✅ Clearer skin
✅ More energy!

It’s incredible how something so simple can make such a huge difference. Regular headaches and constant stress shouldn’t be the norm—sometimes, small changes are all it takes.

Have you noticed a difference when you drink more water? I’d love to hear! 💙💦
