Menopause messing with your mind? The Menopause Collective can help!

Menopause messes with your mind, I can attest to that! So this episode I have the menopause collective on the case.

Did you ever wonder that putting your hand to your head in desperate moments might be an instinctive reaction to soothe yourself by activating Acupuncture points on the forehead that can calm us down. Or that our eyes are not just a window to the soul but that the calming effects of Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing (EMDR) could be harnessed just by going on a walk in nature.

Menopause is on the agenda more now than ever before in workplaces which is a step in the right direction, but real acknowledgement and adjustments are required to allow women to continue to thrive and grow in and out of work. For women who experience a premature menopause or sudden onset after surgery or cancer treatment for instance, retirement is a long way in the future and timely adjustments even more pertinent.

If you are feeling a bit adrift, be reassured the best is yet to come and making a plan is the first step. Why not grab some A3 paper, some magazines and a glue stick and build a vision board to really bring that future to life and make your plans a reality.
