One of those moments in Mexico that makes you stop and just take it all in… 🐒

Watching this beautiful monkey carrying her baby through the trees was pretty special.

ANDthis was on my way to breakfast 🥓🍳

And it reminded me why I love getting outside so much.

🌿 Nature can lift your mood.
☀️ Morning light helps support your body clock.
😴 And getting your natural light during the day can help support better sleep at night.

Sometimes the best medicine is simply putting your phone down, unless you're taking a photo of a Monkey and it's baby, stepping outside and looking around you.

And let's be honest… seeing this beats staring at a screen! 😂🐒

📢 This one thing will change EVERYTHING if you're Struggling to Sleep.

Want to give your sleep, energy and mood a little boost as the mornings get darker?

Get outside in the morning light. 🌤️

Even better, combine it with a 10-minute walk in nature. 🌳🚶‍♀️

You don't need to do an hour-long hike or have a perfect morning routine.

Just 10 minutes outside, preferably as early in the day as you can, gives your body some much-needed natural light and a chance to move, breathe and wake up properly.

And honestly… a bit of fresh air and nature can do wonders for your head too. 💗

So tomorrow morning, grab your trainers, step outside and get your 10 minutes of daylight.

Your body clock will thank you. 👑

Could you fit 10 minutes of morning light into your day?

📢 I'm talking about how to balance your hormones, naturally, this week in my FR33 group...

Not to be missed if you want to thrive and not just survive...YOUR future self will thank you for it 💪

📢September has arrived… and your body clock has noticed.

🌙 It’s September, and you may have started noticing the mornings staying darker and the evenings getting darker earlier.

And while we might not think much of it, this change in daylight can have an impact on our sleep. 😴

Our body has an internal body clock, known as our circadian rhythm, which uses light and darkness to help regulate when we feel awake and when we feel sleepy.

So as the days get shorter, you might notice:

😴 Feeling more tired during the day
🌙 Feeling sleepier earlier in the evening
🥱 Finding it harder to get going in the morning
🧠 More brain fog and lower concentration
😔 A dip in mood or motivation

And if you're already experiencing disrupted sleep because of perimenopause or menopause, these seasonal changes can sometimes make things feel even harder.

☀️ One simple thing you can do to help your body clock?

📢Try to get outside into natural daylight as early as possible in the morning.📢

Even if it's cloudy, that natural light helps send a signal to your brain that it's daytime and time to be awake.

So don't wait until lunchtime to see daylight - get outside, open the curtains and let that morning light in! 🌤️

Have you noticed a difference in your sleep, energy or mood now we're heading into autumn? 👇

🚨 STOP SCROLLING IF YOU’RE OVER 40… 🚨

Maybe menopause isn’t actually the reason you’re sleeping badly. 👀

There… I said it. 😂

You go to bed exhausted.

You fall asleep eventually…

Then BAM 💥
2:17am — wide awake.

Your brain suddenly decides it’s the perfect time to:
✨ Revisit something embarrassing you did in 2004
✨ Worry about tomorrow
✨ Plan your entire life
✨ Wonder why you can’t sleep
✨ And obviously… check Facebook 🤦‍♀️

Then you wake up shattered and think:

“Bloody menopause.” 😂

But what if there’s MORE going on?

Your stress levels.
Your blood sugar.
Your evening routine.
Your circadian rhythm.
Your caffeine.
Your alcohol.
Your habits before bed.

Menopause can absolutely affect sleep…

…but it doesn’t have to mean “this is just my life now.”👑

So tell me…

👇 What time do YOU usually wake up in the middle of the night?

11pm?
1am?
3am?
5am?

I want to know if there’s a particular time when the Menopause Queens are collectively staring at the ceiling. 😂👑

“But I only had a couple of drinks…” 🍷👀

My Fitbit told a very different story the next morning! 😂

I hadn’t drunk much because I knew I was getting up for a walk the next morning and there was definitely NO hangover.

I was up, out walking… and even managed to mow both the front AND back lawn! 😂💪

But my readiness score was low.

And this is why I love looking at the data rather than just how I feel.

Alcohol might not leave you feeling hungover, but it can still affect your sleep quality, recovery and readiness the following day.

Your body knows… even when your head thinks you’ve got away with it! 😂

Sometimes the Fitbit tells the truth your prosecco-loving self doesn’t want to hear! 👑

"I’m too old for that.”

Famous last words. 😂

I once had a client tell me she would NEVER try something outside her comfort zone.

So I challenged her to do something completely different…

She chose a dance class.

She was nervous, convinced everyone would be watching her and fully expected to embarrass herself.

She did. 😂

But she also laughed, met new people, forgot about work for an hour and went home feeling AMAZING.

And that’s the thing about trying something new…

Your brain gets to step away from the usual work, stress, chores, responsibilities and overthinking.

You’re focused on something different.
You’re learning.
You’re laughing.
You’re challenging yourself.

And suddenly that comfort zone doesn’t feel quite so comfortable anymore. 😉

You don’t need to book a skydiving experience tomorrow! 😂

Try a new class.
Take a different route on your walk.
Cook something you’ve never tried.
Go somewhere you’ve never been.
Say YES to something you’d normally say no to.

Because sometimes the best way to lower stress is to stop living the same day on repeat.

✨ New experiences = new memories + a little more confidence + a happier brain.

So… what’s one new thing you’re going to try this week?*👑

31/08/2026

💤 Want less stress and better sleep? Try doing something you’ve never done before.

When was the last time you did something you’d never done before?

We often think reducing stress means slowing down, staying home and doing less.

But sometimes, the opposite can be incredibly helpful. ❤️

Trying something new can give your brain a break from the same old routines and worries. Whether it’s taking a new class, visiting somewhere you’ve never been, trying a new food, learning a skill or simply saying **yes to something different**.

New experiences can create excitement, curiosity and positive emotions, helping to shift your attention away from everyday stresses and giving your nervous system a chance to reset.

And when you spend less time stuck in that “always on” state, it can become easier to relax when bedtime arrives. 😴

For women in perimenopause and menopause, this can be especially important. We can become so focused on managing symptoms, work, family and responsibilities that life starts feeling like one big to-do list.

So this week, why not try something new?

It doesn't have to be dramatic.

📢Do something that makes you curious.
📢Something that makes you laugh.
📢Something that gets you out of your usual routine.

Because looking after your sleep isn't just about what you do at bedtime.

It's also about how you live your life during the day.

What new experience would you love to try? 💕

💪 Want to sleep better during perimenopause? Pick up some weights! 😴✨

We often blame perimenopause for our rubbish sleep… but there are things we can do to support our bodies and strength training is one of them.

As oestrogen fluctuates during perimenopause, we can experience changes in muscle mass, metabolism, stress levels and sleep.

🏋️‍♀️ Strength training can help by:

✨ Building and preserving muscle
✨ Supporting bone health
✨ Improving insulin sensitivity and blood sugar control
✨ Helping your body handle stress
✨ Supporting a healthier body composition
✨ And regular exercise can help improve sleep quality

And here's the thing…

You don't need to become a gym bunny or lift ridiculously heavy weights! 😂

Start where you are. A couple of strength sessions a week can make a real difference and your future self will thank you for it. 💚

So if you're in your 40s or 50s and your sleep is struggling, don't just accept it as "that's menopause."

Move your body. Build your strength. Support your sleep. 👑

Because we're not trying to survive menopause…

We're learning to THRIVE through it. ☀️

My morning walk is actually a 10-in-1 wellbeing habit. 🚶‍♀️☀️

I used to think I was just going for a walk…

But I'm actually stacking habits without even thinking about it:

🎧 Listening to an Audible -learning while I move
🎶 Playing feel-good music - giving myself a mood boost
☀️ Getting morning daylight - supporting my body clock and sleep rhythm
🌳 Being in nature - helping me feel calmer and more grounded
🚶‍♀️ Moving my body - supporting strength, fitness and energy
🧠 Giving my brain something positive to focus on
😌 Creating time away from screens and everyday demands
🌿 Getting fresh air and outdoor time
🧘‍♀️ Practising a little mindfulness as I notice what's around me
💪 Keeping a promise to myself - reinforcing the habit of prioritising ME

And the best bit?

I don't need 10 different habits.

I've simply stacked them onto something I'm already doing.

If you're struggling to find time for your wellbeing, try asking yourself:

“What can I stack onto a habit I already have?”

Because looking after yourself doesn't have to mean adding another hour to your day.

Sometimes it's about making the habits you're already doing work harder for you. 👑
