World Menopause Day 💕
I had a conversation with a friend the other day about how we just want to say NO! Maybe not in such a polite way but you get the gist!
So on this World Menopause Day I wanted to write about how I know I’m feeling and I know many of the people I speak to feel the same. You are not alone.
Nothing really prepares us for everything it changes….our bodies, our moods, our energy, our sense of self.
We talk about hot flushes and hormones, but not the identity shifts, the aches & pains, the tiredness, the waves of emotion, the ringing in the ears and countless other weird sensations, but most of all the quiet realisations that we can’t keep living for everyone else.
It’s just wild how much changes, isn’t it?
Your body feels different. Your emotions feel louder. The things that used to light you up don’t quite land the same.
Menopause (post & peri) isn’t a breakdown, it’s a BREAKTHROUGH.
This isn’t you losing yourself. It’s you meeting a new version of yourself.
One that’s clearer, calmer, and less willing to tolerate what doesn’t feel right anymore.
So if you’re tired, sensitive, or just not feeling like you, that’s okay.
Be gentle with yourself. Your body’s doing a full recalibration, physically, hormonally, energetically.
One minute you’re craving peace and early nights, the next you’re ready to take on the world.
That’s the magic of this phase, unpredictable, powerful, and it’s entirely up to you 🙌
There are no rules, slow down when you need to, fire up and go for it when it calls you, but most of all be kind to yourself.
All of this is how I’m feeling, If this resonates with you, drop a ❤️ in the comments.
Bring on the next chapter
