Ever shown up for a meeting… only to find out it was postponed a month ago and no one told you? 🤦‍♀️

✔️ It had been in my diary for weeks
�✔️ I had an Eventbrite confirmation ✅
�✔️ Arrived on time…
�❌ No one had arrived and the Reception Staff had no record of the meeting.

It turned out the meeting had been postponed until next month, but sad to say I didn’t get the memo. 🥲

Could I have been cross annoyed? Yes of course I could have�
Was I? No.I wasn’t.

We’re all human.

Mistakes happen — especially in our fast-paced, information-overloaded world.

What lessons were learnt from this?
�✅ On my part, in the future, I need to double-check the day before that the meeting is still going ahead.
�✅ On the Host’s part to make sure all attendees had been notified.

As we say “There’s no such thing as failure only feed back”.

It’s all learning.

Always.

Yesterday Friday 7/2 I attended the Menopause In Aesthetics Conference in London. The speakers were international experts in their field - doctors, consultants, psychologists - you name it they were there.

Some of the topics addressed were “Mental Health - Mis-diagnois of Depression & Anxiety in Peri-menopause”; “Health Optimisation Approach to Menopause”; “How Hormones Impact Hair in Andropause & Menopause”; “Recognising the Signs”; plus more.

It was an informative, impressive conference which, for me highlighted the lack of understanding and treatment there is out there for Mental Health, which as a Therapist I’m someone who recognises this, sees, helps and treats women and their families through their multi-faceted peri- and menopausal journey.

I am proud to say that I've been recognised as a FIRST RESPONDER for peri- and menopausal woman.

On a much lighter note the food was fantastic, the delegates lovely, vibes wonderful, was really good to see male medics speak and attend but sadly the conference chairs were really uncomfortable.

Once upon a time in a previous life, when I worked in the City of London (can’t believe that was over 20 years ago) and before what I now do in my role as a Clinical Hypnotherapist & Transformational Life Coach, Trainer, Mentor and Supervisor, I didn’t know that there was a difference between ou...
