The Empowered Pause

23/02/2026

🌿 March Empowered Pause 🌿

This month we’ll be focusing on understanding your cycle, menstrual health, and gentle ways to manage symptoms and support your body.

A relaxed, supportive space where you can ask questions, share if you’d like, and learn practical ways to feel more in tune with your body and your cycle.

You’ll leave feeling more informed, more confident, and more connected to yourself.

Tickets now open ✨ www.liznojanbooks.co.uk

Lots of people have asked, “what’s this Empowered Pause thing you’re doing?” 💛

So… The Empowered Pause started back in May last year after Amantha King ( - menopause consultant) and I met and realised we were both keen to create a menopause support group for the community we live in.

We meet once a month at Liznojan Bookshop, and we’re so grateful to Jackie for not only letting us use the space but also keeping us topped up with teas and coffees ☕📚

Each month we chat around a different theme, creating a relaxed, supportive space for women navigating perimenopause, menopause, midlife and beyond. We’ve already covered Sleep - Stress - HRT - Diet - Exercise & more! Sessions are fun, informative and packed with practical takeaways - and women always leave feeling lighter and uplifted ✨

Our next get-together in February will be all about relationships 💬

There are 25 spaces each month (small shop!), tickets are just £5 - and yes, that includes a cuppa ☕👌 New faces are always very welcome!
Book via the Liznojan website under Events 👉 www.liznojanbooks.co.uk

We’ve got lots more lovely topics coming this year - including neurodiversity and menopause, and possibly even a session for men.

The idea for The Empowered Pause™ Retreat began the way many powerful things do - with two women sharing the truth of how midlife really feels.

Not the “I’m fine” version.
The real one.
Where the mental load is heavy, the emotions are louder, the body is shifting, and life keeps asking more.

We realised something important:

Women don’t need another task.
They need a pause.
A gentle reset.
A Day to feel held.

So, we created one.

A retreat designed to help women breathe again - to release the noise, reconnect with their intuition, and remember who they are beneath the responsibilities and expectations.
We know how transformational it is when someone finally says:
“Let us hold you for a day.”

That’s our why.

This month’s Empowered Pause is all about how peri/menopause can shift the way we relate - to our partners, family, friends, colleagues… and ourselves. 💛

We’ll explore changes in communication, boundaries, intimacy, emotional wellbeing, and self-identity - with gentle guidance and practical ways to navigate them.

We’re delighted to welcome Colin Barnard, () a counsellor who brings a warm, compassionate presence and a safe space to explore relationships, self-esteem, and emotional wellbeing.

Tiverton's independent bookshop, cafe and events space. Liznojan was opened in November 2017 in the market town of Tiverton by mother and daughter, neither Liz nor Jan, but Jackie and Kayleigh. Having always loved reading, both wanted to share their passion for the written word with their local area...
