✨ Anxiety isn’t “all in your head” ✨

If you’ve ever been told to “just calm down” or “stop overthinking,” you’ll know how frustrating (and lonely) that feels.

The truth is 👉 anxiety in perimenopause is often your nervous system in overdrive because of hormonal changes. It’s not a personal failing.

I made a short film called “Anxiety: What’s Really Going On” to explain exactly why your mind and body suddenly feel so different and I’ll share 3 simple ways to help you feel better.

🌸If this resonates, I’d love you to watch it.

🌸And if you’d like to take it further, my free Perimenopause Anxiety Toolkit gives you calming steps, a grounding guide, and audios you can use straight away.

Sometimes the real relief comes not from “fixing” yourself, but from understanding what’s happening and learning how to steady things bit by bit

“I’m eating less than ever… so why won’t the weight shift?”

It’s one of the biggest frustrations I hear from women in perimenopause and menopause.

The surprising truth is that eating less isn’t always the answer. In fact, it can sometimes work against your body.

In my latest blog, I explain why your body changes during midlife, why muscle matters and how nourishing yourself…not punishing yourself can be a much more effective approach.

I’d love to know… what’s the biggest myth about weight loss you’ve been told?

You may recognise this pattern.

Nobody tells you that perimenopause can change the way your brain feels.

Constant worrying, overthinking, panic, or feeling permanently on edge can all be part of the picture.

My latest blog explains why this happens and what you can do to feel calmer again.

What if anxiety isn’t what you think it is? 💗

Many women tell me they feel frustrated because they can’t understand why they suddenly feel anxious, overwhelmed or on edge.

The truth is, anxiety isn’t simply “in your head.”

It’s connected to your body, your thoughts, your hormones and your nervous system.

Once you understand what’s really happening, everything starts to make a lot more sense.

I hope this little video helps explain why.

Creating this reel sent me down a bit of a rabbit hole.

Like many of you, I’ve seen lots of posts about the summer of 1976 lately.

I know you probably won’t be born in 1976!

But it made me wonder if we’re sometimes a little unfair to the present day.

Because whilst we often remember beaches, bikes and long hot summers, we can easily forget some of the realities of the time too.

In the real 1976 Women were still fighting for equal pay, equal opportunities and greater financial independence.

It reminded me that perhaps nostalgia isn’t really about a year at all.

Maybe it’s about remembering a version of ourselves that felt lighter, freer and had fewer responsibilities.

I’d love to know what you think.

Do you think things were genuinely better then?

Or do you think we sometimes miss being younger rather than missing the decade itself? 🤔

I actually think asking “Were things genuinely better then, or do we just miss being younger?”

Everyone talks about how travelling changes you.

Nobody talks about the effect it has on Mum. 😂💗
