Hot, Foggy & Fabulous

And then the masterclass ended.

Everyone closed their laptops, wandered back into their kitchens, probably discovered a cup of tea they'd made two hours earlier and completely forgotten about…

…and life carried on. 😂

But I hope something stayed with you.

Maybe it was finally having a name for something you've been experiencing. Maybe it was realising you weren't the only woman quietly wondering, what on earth is happening to me? Maybe it was simply hearing other women laugh about things you'd been secretly worrying about.

That's really what Hot, Foggy & Fabulous was built for.

Not to give you another hundred things to fix. Just to help you understand yourself a little better, feel a little less alone, and find your way through this stage without disappearing inside it.

So whether you came to the masterclass or you've only just found me:

Welcome.

We're not done talking. 💛

Tell me below: what's one thing you wish someone had told you about perimenopause or menopause sooner?

Thankyou to all the ladies that came along to our Hot, Foggy & Fabulous coffee catch-up this morning! I’m sorry I didn’t get to speak to all of you for long!

I’m thinking about running a Saturday morning coffee catch-up or a Friday evening after-work Cocktail catchup.

Please comment Cocktail or Saturday for which one is your preference. I would love to see some more midlife ladies transitioning through Perimenopause and Menopause at our catchups to help us all feel connected.

I’m f you’re coming to our HFF Coffee Catch-up this morning at Roto House - I am sitting on the verandah around the side. Walk past the counter and around the verandah to the right! I’m sitting opposite the trees. See you soon!

So excited to share Hot, Foggy & Fabulous is a finalist in the Mid North Coast Business Awards. I’m so proud to be a part of this group of finalists. It’s so exciting and risky to start a new business and back yourselves. I hope we’re all there on the night cheering each other on! Business Port Macquarie Susan Judd Steve Judd

Dr Louise Newson is a Menopause Specialist. This is worth a listen given the more than 80% of women in my research who experience brain fog that impacts their lives and work.

Very excited to be a Finalist in the Business NSW Mid North Coast Awards in September! 💙💛

🦋 From a local conversation to international recognition — meet Susan Judd, founder of Hot, Foggy & Fabulous.

After nearly 20 years in HR, Susan noticed a pattern: many people struggling with performance at work were midlife women, and menopause was rarely spoken about. Then she went through it herself — brain fog, poor sleep, anxiety — and started asking other women if they felt the same. They did. That research became the foundation for what Hot, Foggy & Fabulous is today: a guided reflection journal, card deck, workplace resources, workshops and keynote presentations supporting women through this stage of life.

The recognition has followed fast — the Beam Social Change Maker Award, the Outstanding New Business Award at the Greater Port Macquarie Business Awards, and now a finalist spot in two categories of the International Book Awards.

But as Susan puts it: "What means the most is the trust women have placed in me by sharing their stories."

Congratulations Susan 👏
