Using Schlossberg’s 4S Model to Navigate Menopause

If you’ve been following our Meno-Pause Mondays, you’ll know that the theme of making a plan has been front and centre. Menopause is whole life transition, and planning can make all the difference.

Earlier this year, Dr Lee Jones (Psychologist and fellow Meno-Pause Mentor) and I identified Schlossberg’s 4S Model as a particularly supportive framework for navigating menopause. Traditionally used to understand and manage life transitions, it fits perfectly with what so many women experience during this stage of life.

Schlossberg’s model looks at four key resources that help people adapt to change:

🔸Situation
What’s happening right now? Are symptoms affecting your work, relationships, or energy? Knowing the context shows where to focus first.

🔸Self
What strengths and coping style do you bring? Are you proactive and optimistic, or do you need more structure?

🔸Support
Who’s in your corner? Family, friends, workplace allies, and healthcare professionals all play a role.

🔸Strategies
What actions will help? Lifestyle changes, medical options (HRT or non-HRT), wellbeing practices, and workplace adjustments work best when tailored to you.

Dr. Lee Jones and I love this model because it’s flexible. Menopause isn’t a problem to “fix” — it’s a journey to map.

Our big takeaway: Menopause isn’t one event. It’s a transition, and transitions are easier with a plan.

At Meno-Pause, we help individuals and organisations put these resources into action , and much more.

Which of your 4S’s feels strong? Which one needs more support?

New article:

This week’s theme has been all about introversion, extroversion, and menopause. In this phase of life, we can no longer afford to live in ways that go against our natural design. Understanding how we gain and sustain energy isn’t just helpful….it’s essential.

Incredible presentation tonight by of with The HVN.

So wonderful to be reunited. I’ve known Ash for almost a decade through a previous partnership with bio-identical hormones. He is one of the most forward-thinking doctors I know, always taking a complete longevity approach, with restorative being just one part of his ‘whole picture’ philosophy.

Tonight he spoke about the 8R approach, a comprehensive program that covers every step towards full wellness. It all makes perfect sense for both mind and body.

It was also great to visit The HVN, which aligns perfectly with this mission. And such a beautiful place! 💛

Menopause doesn’t have to be something you “just get through.”

It can be a turning point….a chance to understand your body, reclaim your confidence, and realign your life in ways that truly serve you.

Here’s how menopause mentoring helps:

✨ Clarity in the chaos - so you know what’s happening in your body and why

✨ Confidence with choices - from HRT to holistic options

✨ Support beyond symptoms - because this impacts your mind, relationships, and identity too

✨ Space to realign - in work, home, and life, around what truly fits you

✨ And most of all - you’re not alone in this

When I work with women through Meno-Pause Mentoring, I create space to ‘pause’, reflect, and reconnect during one of the most transformative phases of life. It’s a place to feel seen, heard, and supported - whether you’re navigating symptoms, seeking clarity, or ready to reshape what life means for you. Because this isn’t just about hormones….it’s about YOU.

At Meno Pause, I support women across all pillars of health—whether that’s navigating treatment options, staying accountable with food and movement, or finding the lifestyle that truly supports this phase.

But again and again, the biggest opportunity I see?

It’s in the parts of you that haven’t had time to surface yet.
The dreams that have been shelved.
The truths that have been whispered but not lived.
The creativity, the calling, the quiet knowing.

Sometimes menopause brings a radical awakening.
Other times, it’s a gentle unfolding of something long held within.

This is where the gold is.
And it’s where I love to work—with intuition, curiosity, and deep respect for your process.

What’s waiting to be born in you?

Easter, Menopause & Mindful Treats

Easter can be a beautiful blend of rest, reflection—and let’s be honest—a few chocolate eggs. And you know what? That’s completely OK.

In menopause, we often feel pulled in so many directions when it comes to food, health, and energy. But being kind to ourselves includes allowing a little joy—yes, even in the form of a treat or two.

No guilt. No overthinking. Just balance.

So if you’re tucking into a hot cross bun or savoring a chocolate bunny this weekend, enjoy it. Fully. You’re not “falling off” anything—you’re living.

Happy Easter from me at my favourite tea shop 🐣🐰🌼💫

Why I do this work

There’s a moment in every woman’s life where things begin to shift.

The body changes.

The mind feels foggier.

Emotions stir in unfamiliar ways.

It can happen gradually—or feel like being hit by a ton of bricks.

And often, we don’t fully understand what’s going on.

That challenge—real, raw, and often invisible—is what led me here.

I began working in menopause support over a decade ago, helping to train doctors internationally on hormones and to help provide more women with access to body-identical (bio-identical) treatment.

But more recently, my work became deeply personal.

I went through an early menopause brought on by surgery—a sudden and life-altering transition. Because I’m unable to take HRT, I had to navigate it without the support many women rely on.

That combination—professional insight and lived experience—is what fuels the work I do now.

I know how hard it can be to walk this path alone. And I believe this phase of life deserves so much more care.

Sometimes, the support we need is physical—HRT options, supplements, lifestyle changes. Other times, it’s an invitation to pause, reflect, and reimagine what we want for ourselves.

Menopause can be confronting, yes—but it can also be a gateway to deep growth.

Whether you’re approaching menopause naturally, surgically, with HRT or without— you deserve to be supported, heard, and understood.

If this resonates, you’re not alone.

My crop this morning!! 🤩 I know what I’ll be having as part of lunch. I do believe in taking some supplements, but I try to get as much as I can from food. Asparagus for me is a superfood!!!

🌱Rich in Nutrients, Low in Calories
🌱High in vitamins A, C, E, K, and B6
🌱Good source of folate, iron, copper, calcium, and fiber
🌱Low in calories, which makes it a great addition to any diet

🌱Contains inulin, a prebiotic that feeds good gut bacteria
🌱Great for Heart Health
🌱Folate and fiber help reduce the risk of heart disease
🌱Potassium in asparagus helps regulate blood pressure
🌱Natural Diuretic
🌱Helps flush excess salt and fluid from the body, which may reduce bloating and lower blood pressure
🌱Antioxidant Power
