💜 Being kind to yourself doesn't always mean doing what feels easiest.

In this clip, Dr Lucy Mather talks about a common trap many women fall into during menopause: rewarding ourselves with habits that may actually worsen symptoms.

Real self-care often means taking a step back and asking:

"What is genuinely helping me feel better?"

Small lifestyle changes can have a significant impact on sleep, energy, mood and overall wellbeing.

If menopause symptoms are affecting your work, confidence or quality of life, support is available.

September has a habit of putting everyone else back on the list.

School uniforms. PE kits. Packed lunches. Diaries. Work. Clubs. Appointments. Who needs to be where – and when.

After a summer spent keeping everything moving, September can feel like the moment life suddenly speeds up again.

But before the new routine takes over, there’s one person we’d like you to add to the September list:

You. 💚

How have you actually been feeling lately?

Perhaps you’ve noticed changes in your sleep, mood, concentration, periods or how you feel in yourself. Maybe you’ve been putting them down to stress, being busy or simply getting older.

Perimenopause and menopause can affect women in many different ways. If changes are affecting your everyday life, you don’t simply have to accept them – speaking to a healthcare professional can help you understand what’s happening and the options available to you.

So, while everyone else is getting ready for a fresh start this September, perhaps this can be yours too.

🎙️ Podcast: What if menopause isn't just a health issue but a leadership issue?

Dr Lucy Mather recently joined the UK's No.1 law podcast, the Legally Speaking Podcast Legally Speaking Podcast , to discuss why employers need to take menopause support seriously.

During the conversation Lucy explored:

✅ The business cost of failing to support menopause
✅ Why experienced women are leaving the workplace
✅ How menopause intersects with employment and discrimination law
✅ What an effective Menopause Action Plan looks like
✅ The practical actions organisations should be taking now

The workplace is changing.

If you're an employer, HR leader or anyone interested in creating healthier workplaces, this is a conversation that affects talent retention, performance and employee wellbeing.

Thank you to Robert and the Legally Speaking Podcast team for inviting me to share my perspective.

A return journey of more than 50 miles to see a menopause specialist?

For some women living in Abergele and surrounding communities on the North Wales coast, that has been the reality of accessing an in-person appointment with a BMS-recognised specialist.

When you are already balancing work, family life and symptoms that affect how you feel each day, a lengthy journey can make getting support even harder.

Expert menopause care is now closer to you.

Dr Lucy Mather, an experienced GP and British Menopause Society Registered Menopause Specialist, has opened a new clinic at Spire Abergele.

Jaya Life is also registered with the Care Quality Commission to provide online consultations, giving eligible women living in England and Wales the option of receiving specialist support from home.

You can now see Dr Lucy:

📍 At Spire Abergele
📍 Near Caernarfon
💻 Online from your home in England or Wales

An initial consultation lasts up to one hour, giving you time to discuss your symptoms, medical history, current treatment and priorities without feeling rushed.

Your recommendations will be personalised and may include lifestyle measures, HRT or non-hormonal treatment options, depending on your circumstances.

Starting the new school year with a conversation that matters.

Before the classrooms fill up and the new academic year gets into full swing, the team at Prestatyn High School made time for something important: menopause awareness.

A huge thank you to Headteacher Claire Turner and the school for inviting Dr Lucy Mather to deliver a Menopause Awareness Power Hour for staff today.

With 155 members of staff at the school, including 116 women and 39 men, it was fantastic to see menopause being treated as a workplace conversation that everyone can benefit from understanding.

In just under an hour, Lucy shared practical, evidence-based information to help staff better understand perimenopause, menopause, and l other women’s hormone health issues, how they can affect people at work, and how colleagues can better support one another, with time afterwards for questions.

There was a lovely Jaya Life connection to the day, too. Lucy was joined by her medical secretary, Jess Booker, a former Prestatyn High School pupil, returning to her old school this time as part of the team delivering the session.

Teaching is a demanding profession, and creating a workplace where people feel informed, understood and able to have open conversations about menopause can make a real difference.

What a positive way to begin a new academic year.

Thank you to everyone at Prestatyn High School for such a warm welcome and particularly for making this a conversation for all staff, not just women.

🏫 If you're planning staff wellbeing or training for the year ahead, could your school or workplace benefit from a Menopause Awareness Power Hour?

Dr Lucy Mather delivers engaging, practical menopause awareness sessions for schools, businesses and organisations across North Wales and the wider region.

Poor sleep is one of the most common concerns women talk to me about.

While sleep problems can have many causes, good sleep habits are an important place to start.

This weekend, choose one small thing that helps you unwind before bed.

Your future self will thank you.

One of the saddest things I hear is: "I thought I just had to put up with it."
You don't.

If menopause symptoms are affecting your daily life, there are evidence-based options that may help. The right approach depends on your health, your symptoms and your personal preferences.

No two women experience menopause in the same way.

Your care shouldn't be one-size-fits-all either.

💙 If you've ever felt you simply had to "get on with it", I hope this reminds you that support is available.

Strong muscles aren't about appearance.

They're about staying active, protecting bone health and maintaining independence as we age.

Find something you enjoy and build from there.

The best exercise is the one you'll actually keep doing.
