You have a moment to yourself. What music do you play to improve your mood? What music gets you focussed? What music helps with fatigue? There are studies that show that music can help with all those things. May I suggest creating playlists for calm, for focus and for energy?…

For those of you that haven't met me yet, I'm Helen and I help schools support their staff through perimenopause and menopause (and for those who have met me, yes, that's the dress I made for my 60th birthday party!)

Isn't that wonderful? This member of staff feels able to ask for more understanding and give more understanding - and feels able to start conversations with anyone they see dealing with difficult peri/menopausal symptoms, without overstepping or putting their foot in it. If your…

They might... But there are a lot of reasons why they might not. 🌵They may not realise themselves that it's perimenopause. 🌵They may be in denial. 🌵They may be grieving and too emotional to talk. 🌵They may feel shame or embarrassment. 🌵They may not trust that they'll be…

Here's a weird perimenopause thing that's hardly talked about. And it can really make you self-conscious, especially around young people. Smell. What's going on? Your sense of smell might change. You might become more aware of odours, including your own. Different smells might…

The new school year often comes with mixed feelings. There's sadness for the end of the summer. There's excitement about seeing colleagues and pupils again. There's determination to do it well. But there's often also anxiety - and that can be exaggerated in perimenopause and…

The 1st September. Off we go again! I hope you've had a decent break and your prep and various responsibilities haven't got in the way of you enjoying yourself and resting. How are you feeling?

I'm 60 today! Very definitely post-menopausal and fully transitioned into this next stage of life. So I thought I would tell you a little bit about the view from this side of the valley. 🍰The transition was challenging - physically and emotionally. But it also gave many…

We could do without it right? Especially when we're in the middle of building our school career. Suddenly our brain doesn't work when we most need it to. Our calm is shattered as our moods are all over the place. We never know when we're going to need to get to the loo - and…

I guess we're all counting down the days now, with a mix of anxiety and excitement, and a little bit of a sense of loss as the summer comes to a close. Knowing that you're facing another year with the additional challenges of perimenopause and a menopause and the weird ways they…

The start of a new school year comes with big feelings. Perimenopause or menopause can mean that the feelings of anxiety are heightened and that the next term is going to come with an extra bundle of challenges. Let's take a moment now to think about what we can do to to make…

When I was in Year 7, (We called it the first year then) the girls and boys were separated for a lesson and the Lady from Lillywhites came to talk to us. What I remember the most is that she told us we'd lose a few teaspoons of blood over the course of a few days. I could watch…

Another year being hobbled by perimenopause or menopause symptoms while you do a challenging and important job? Another year watching colleagues struggle. Let's see what we can do about that! #Edutwitter #WomenEd

Yesterday I made jam - a small batch of blackcurrant and a small batch of blackberry. The blackcurrants are from my garden and the blackberries are foraged locally. I admit I had a bit of a sugar frenzy licking the spoons and scraping the pans - much like I used to do when my…

Imagine the world was built for menopausal women. 💧That we could nip to the loo when we needed. 💧Take a moment to reset when we needed. 💧That nothing was stressing us out. 💧That we were able to more spend time in each other's company talking and laughing and supporting each…
