💛 Loneliness Awareness Week is a timely reminder for our community.
Did you know adults aged 45-54 report the highest rates of loneliness of any age group? For women navigating perimenopause and ADHD, this can feel especially familiar. Brain fog, burnout, and the stress of staying in (or re-entering) the workforce can quietly deepen isolation — even when it isn't visible to others.
It's a theme that comes up often in our counselling sessions. So many women are quietly carrying this, often without realising just how common it is.
If this resonates with you: who's one person you could reach out to this week? Or is there a group or activity that might help you feel more connected?

You're not alone in this. 💛
