Too much hair on your hairbrush, too much in your hand or too much down the plug hole, watching your hair fall out and becoming thinner is upsetting, and hair loss is a symptom that comes up again and again during my menopause awareness sessions.

Thinning hair can make you feel self-conscious, less attractive or reduce your confidence. With an estimated 40% of women experiencing some degree of hair loss during the menopause, there must be solution.

Social media is full of them! Products and promises to restore your hair. The trouble is, how do you know which product will work for you? The market is huge and profitable so we (menopausal women) are targeted With big promises and hefty price tags.

From someone who has experienced significant hair loss, I would personally suggest the first port of call is doing some digging, your own research from reliable resources. The second port of call I would suggest is caring for your hair and scalp to reduce hair breakage and damage:

• Reduce the use of straighteners
• Wash and dry your hair less frequently (be careful drying your hair too - softly softly)
• Eat a healthy diet
• Stay hydrated
• Wear a hat to protect your hair from the wind and sun

I also try and keep my stress levels to a minimum.

Hair loss sadly is a common symptom of menopause and there can be many reasons for it. Even doing all of the above may make no difference whatsoever. You may need to seek advice or medical help from a healthcare professional.

If you find something that works for you, let me know. Hopefully, collectively, we can find solutions together.

When was the last time you really laughed?
Like properly belly-laughed.

The kind that makes your stomach ache, your eyes water, and your cheeks hurt.

If you’re thinking, “I can’t actually remember”… you’re not alone.

Life, work, family and commitments can get in the way, leaving fun right at the bottom of the list. But laughter, joy, silliness, they’re not just a bonus, they’re part of feeling well.

So this is your reminder: have fun, be daft, and don’t give a damn what anyone thinks. It’s good for you, honestly!

Laughter helps reduce stress, balance hormones, and boost your mood.

This week, find time to let go and be silly!
You deserve to feel joy.

Menopausal women are the fastest, growing demographic in today’s workforce.
But most workplaces aren’t equipped to support them, yet.

It’s time to change that.

With the right training, teams can feel confident opening up the conversation, supporting colleagues, and creating a culture where women don’t just stay, they thrive.

My daughter Fern Wilson recently delivered an incredible in-house training at to raise awareness of neurodivergence in the workplace 💖 So proud of her!

But here’s something that rarely gets mentioned…
Where neurodivergence and menopause meet.
📊 1 in 10 women leave their jobs due to menopause
🧠 Many of them may also be neurodivergent, diagnosed or undiagnosed.
For employees with ADHD, autism, dyslexia, and more, menopause symptoms can hit harder.
As the National Autistic Society notes:
“Autistic people benefit from knowing they are autistic before they reach menopause.”
This matters for wellbeing, retention, and inclusivity.

At Change It Up, our menopause training is never one-size-fits-all.
At Change It Up we:
✅ Explore the impact on neurodivergent employees
✅ Share practical health + wellbeing strategies
✅ Equip leaders to create safe, flexible workplaces
✅ Support retention, engagement & legal compliance

Ready to understand menopause like never before?

Menopause is something every woman will experience, but so many of us still don’t fully understand what’s happening to our bodies, or how it impacts our daily lives and work. That’s why the Change It Up Menopause Awareness course is here: to break down the facts, bust myths, and empower open conversations.

Here’s what you’ll learn:
✨What menopause is and why it happens, understanding the changes in your body.
✨The signs and symptoms, both physical and psychological (it’s more than hot flushes!).
✨ The different stages, from perimenopause to post-menopause and how symptoms change.
✨The impact in the workplace, why awareness matters for everyone, not just women.
✨Practical tips and advice, simple changes you and your employer can make.
✨How to start the conversation, because talking about menopause shouldn’t be taboo.

When we know more, we can do more, to support ourselves, our colleagues, and those around us.
Are you ready to join the conversation?
