To minimise the time I spend on screens, the only social media I'm using is Instagram, it would be delightful to see you over at

Alternatively, you can get started by slowing down and soothing your nervous system with some free, instantly available resources through this link http://eepurl.com/dsXf9v There’s a range of options to choose from:

- Yoga Nidra to rest and restore
- Charts to map your energy and feelings
- Guided meditations and massage to re-connect with your body
- And much more! Here's the low-down

Gazillions of pounds are generated out of making us feel bad about ourselves. I believe that you are just fine as you are; even when you feel horrible you can heal and find your own way to live contentedly and creatively. You already know how to do it yourself, it's just that sometimes, our lives are too noisy for us to listen. If you need it, I can hold space for you to let go and find threads of joy and ease within yourself, so you can start to accept and heal. I am a menstrual and menopause mentor, workshop facilitator, writer and have been a therapist for more than a quarter of a century. I’ve featured in Time Out, The Evening Standard, the London Metro and written for well-known well-being publications, like Well Doing, Juno Magazine, Counsellors Cafe, Mind Body Green Rebelle Society and Massage Magazine. I’m in Second Spring, which means post-menopause, and have deep gratitude for the education that the menopause process has gifted me. My mission is to change the way we regard menopause and show how we can relax into our own, inner authority through their cyclical nature and menopause process. I refuse to take myself too seriously and try to never take anything on that is not pleasurable and delicious and my first book Second Spring will be published by HarperCollins 17th February 2021.

Perimenopausal colleagues aren’t a problem to manage. They’re the beating heart of your organisation.

Super chuffed with the first of four webinars for yesterday. Self-care, and navigating peri conversations and adaptations at work next, then a cracking celebration of peri colleagues in collaboration with .co.uk

I notice a pull between making non-peri folk aware of the challenges and keeping away from fear. So in all my talks this month, I’m showing how gendered ageism feeds today’s ‘deficiency narrative’ and digging into the huge value peri colleagues bring, not least in their leadership skills.

Loving the opportunity to shift the story from seeing perimenopause folk as a problem to valuing their presence, and framing perimenopause power as a gift for everyone. Peppered with practical takeaways, of course!

It’s a both/and deal: challenging and liberating.

Does your workplace see peri as a problem or a strength? Tell me all about your experiences; I’d love to know how it is on the floor.
And if you’d like a talk for your team, DM me or follow the Linktree link to my site.

Rebelling against ageism doesn't have to be loud or exhausting.

It's just the process of choosing to be more of who you are instead of less.

How will you rebel this week?

(Maybe save this for the days you forget)

It’s a good day for menopause and postmenopause health today as two excellent books are now available:

Embodied Menopause by Leo Taylor and Charlotte Watts
Part science, part sanctuary. While the world tells you to push through or stay forever young, this warm, inclusive book offers a radical third path, one grounded in a profound understanding of the body, that meets you exactly where you are and walks you into transformation.

The Post-Menopause Method by Karen Newby
A positive, practical non-fear driven , age-positive guide to ageing brilliantly. It’s stuffed with positivity and agency and great food ideas. Greatly needed as the longevity industry is waking up to terrify us into spending buckets of cash on dumb stuff.

💥✨✨✨💥Happy pub day Leo • Yoga • Thai Massage • Author and Karen Newby 💥✨✨✨💥

It’s a pretty nice day for me too as I had the great honour of being asked to contribute to both: the foreword in Embodied Menopause and an essay on Second Spring for The Post-Menopause method.

Pretty chuffed about that too!

Do go buy loads of copies and leave reviews on Amazon to tell the algorithm they’re brilliant!

What's the most ageist thing you've heard this week?

We learn it with our milk, right from the beginning, and we don't notice we're doing it. Road signs, birthday cards, 'you look good for your age'

We hate ourselves even more already!

Brighton and Hove friends: this will be an awesome night!

Every month is menopause month right?? 🙄

This year, especially, the bonanza is in full swing. Which? found that supplements costing over £400 a year were no better than the budget variety. Good news is that the menopause chocolate was laughed out of Holland and Barrett.

Business knows we want a quick fix, but real change takes that most unmodern of things: patience.

Here's a reframe.

Make changes to your life, not to feel better tomorrow, but to live well postmenopause. See it as an investment: you have some big s**t to do in your life in your second cycle, and we need you with a full deck of spoons and giant juicy ovaries to kick patriarchy's arse.

It's the unsexy stuff you already know about that's going to fuel this.

So before you reach for the latest protocol or celebrity-endorsed product, take a breath and have a play with my free lifestyle and self-care audit. It's what I've used exclusively with my clients since forever, and has very good vibes.

Hello and welcome to my wee corner of Faceache. If we've not met before, I'm Kate.

For many years, I've been a facilitator and speaker on perimenopause and menopause. I've written two (brilliant 😅 ) books, Second Spring: the self-care guide to menopause and The Perimenopause Journal. I guide Yoga Nidra, mentor fellow professionals, and offer retreat days, courses and workshops.

As I age, my focus is changing to embrace postmenopause too. There's so much chat about peri: then we fall off the known world! Then we really discover about ageism and the dance between vulnerability and delight. A rebellion is definitely due!

What you'll find on my feed is me rambling on, kicking patriarchy's arse, some enquiries to evoke discovery, inspirational elders, all nuanced and both/and. The podcast will return in a new form. Appreciating tf out of life because mortality beckons. It's a space for women and non-binary folk 45 and up, who would rather age DIS-gracefully and AWAKE.

If this is your kind of thing, please stick around and say hello in the comments. I'd love to know what you want to talk about here.

Popping off here for a few days. I’ve been tracking a rising anger as I scroll; the ton of ‘not-enough-ness-mess’ that the algorithm evokes.

Full moon shedding her light clearly.

Not enough engaging, or educational or relatable or some blooming thing. Trying to be good enough. Yet another version of the female visibility conundrum. Invisible: safe. Invisible: self-validating. Visible: unsafe. Then invisible not big enough for publishers to consider me. 🙈

I’ve been beavering away prepping new presentations for menopause awareness month and on the self-care one, most slides mention turning off our phones. So it’s time for a bit of my own prescription. It’s cycl-icky innit 😉

See you sometime on the waning moon x
