Where did my confidence go? 👀

One minute you feel like you…

Then menopause arrives and suddenly you're second-guessing yourself, losing your words, questioning decisions and wondering:

“What has happened to me?”

You're not broken. ❤️

Menopause can affect mood, sleep, concentration and how we feel about ourselves — and confidence can take a real knock.

So here’s one tiny thing to try when you need a confidence boost:

🙌 THE V POSE

Stand tall.
Feet grounded.
Chest open.
Arms up in a big V — like you've just won a race!

Hold it for 30–60 seconds.

It might feel odd😂 but changing your body position can be a powerful little reset before a meeting, difficult conversation or anything that makes you nervous.

And remember:

➡️Slow down
➡️Take up space
➡️Challenge that inner critic
➡️Remind yourself what you're actually capable of

Your confidence hasn't disappeared.

Sometimes it just needs a little help finding its way back. ✨

Have you noticed a change in your confidence during menopause?

I'm delighted to share that I've achieved my Menopause Trainer Certificate, adding to my Menopause Coach Certificate gained a few months ago.

This qualification means a great deal to me, not just professionally, but personally.

Menopause had a significant impact on my confidence and wellbeing at work. At the time, I didn't understand what was happening to me, and it ultimately led me to close my HR consultancy business and career of 30 years in HR. Looking back, I know I wasn't alone. So many women experience a sudden loss of confidence, brain fog, anxiety, or other symptoms without realising that menopause may be playing a part. Every woman's journey is different, and no two experiences are the same.

Today, I feel incredibly privileged to be able to return to workplaces with a different purpose: supporting women who may be facing similar challenges and helping organisations create environments where menopause is understood rather than misunderstood.

A huge thank you to the team at Women of a Certain Stage for sharing such a wealth of knowledge, experience and passion. Everything I have learned will be invaluable as I continue my mission to improve menopause support in the workplace.

I'm especially excited because, in September 2026, I'll be launching Menopause Support Groups within workplaces. My vision is simple: to ensure that no woman feels she has to struggle alone or question why she no longer feels like herself.

This is another important step towards my goal of making menopause support normal. Together, we can help every women feel informed, supported and empowered to thrive.

Current guidance from bodies like NHS and National Institute for Health and Care Excellence says HRT can be taken for as long as the benefits outweigh any risks.
Many people use it safely for longer, (I do,) ...especially if symptoms persist.
The decision should be reviewed yearly, not stopped automatically.
The “5-year rule” came from older studies and that rule is now outdated.
What actually matters:
➡️Our age and health profile
➡️Our symptoms and quality of life
➡️The type and dose of HRT
➡️Regular check-ins with GPs
💬 For many women, symptoms don’t magically stop at 5 years… so why should treatment?
For me, getting the right support has meant I can feel like myself again. As we all know HRT is not for everyone but if you are taking it or considering taking it, then it's good to know about this myth!
💬 Have you been told there’s a time limit?

Testosterone isn’t just a “male hormone."
Testosterone levels in women gradually decline with age and usually start reducing in our late 20s and early 30s.
It may sometimes be the missing piece in menopause care. It is often overlooked and not always easy to access.
When prescribed appropriately, it can support energy, libido, wellbeing, concentration, strength and urinary health for some women.
It’s not for everyone, and it needs careful prescribing and monitoring but it should be part of the conversation.

We spend around a third of life post-menopause — yet research into post-menopausal health is still limited. Since training as a menopause coach and trainer, I’ve become increasingly aware of the uncomfortable truth - women’s health has been under-researched for decades—and women are still paying the price🙄
Many women continue to experience symptoms, like, for example,
Poor sleep
Anxiety or low mood
Brain fog
Hot flushes
Joint aches
Fatigue
but too often we feel dismissed because periods have stopped.
For some women who have chosen to take HRT and soemtimes with Testosterone these symptoms can be reduced, but HRT doesn’t always mean symptoms disappear but they can significantly improve. But, hormones are only one piece of the puzzle — sleep, stress, nutrition, movement, alcohol, caffeine and overall health can still influence how you feel.
This is why small daily habits can still make a big difference in our post menopausal years to how we feel whether we are on HRT / Testosterone or not.

There’s real science behind noticing the positives.

So, if you’ve:
➡️ Shown up.
➡️ Moved your body.
➡️ Made choices that support your wellbeing.
➡️ Kept going, even when it felt hard.

Give yourself some credit. 🥳

Every step in the right direction counts, even when it feels ordinary.

Neuroscience tells us that our brains are constantly changing through neuroplasticity – the brain's ability to strengthen the neural pathways we use most often. When we regularly notice and acknowledge what’s going well, we reinforce those pathways, making it easier for our brain to recognise positive experiences in the future.

This doesn't mean ignoring life's challenges. It means giving your brain a more balanced picture by recognising what's going well alongside what's difficult.

The more you notice your small wins, the easier it becomes for your brain to spot them again.

This is one of the practices we build into my 8-week signature Menopause Coaching Plan – Your Toolkit for Now. I've seen first-hand how learning to recognise progress, rather than striving for perfection, can make a real difference to confidence, wellbeing and resilience. Watching my clients make these positive changes has been incredibly rewarding.

If you'd like to learn more about the programme and how it could support you through menopause, I'd love to hear from you. Please get in touch.

As oestrogen levels decline, we naturally lose muscle mass and bone strength. The good news is that strength training can help to:

💪 Maintain muscle mass
🦴 Support healthy bones
⚖️ Improve balance and reduce the risk of falls
❤️ Boost metabolism and overall health
😊 Increase confidence and energy

The best part? You don't have to join a gym if you don't want to. Once you've learned good technique, you can do strength training at home using resistance bands, dumbbells or simply your own body weight.

I started strength training in January at home using the Joe Wicks Body Coach app. It has sessions designed specifically for women during the menopause. They are short, really well explained and easy to follow.

Maybe try and aim for three short sessions each week and remember—it's never too late to start. Every session is an investment in our future health and independence.

Have you started strength training yet, or is it something you'd like to try?

While some symptoms improve over time, others can continue long into post-menopause—a term that can misleadingly suggest everything returns to how it was before.🙄

The reality is that changing hormone levels can have a lasting impact on our bone health, heart health, sleep, urinary health, muscle strength and overall wellbeing.

In the UK, we are now living, on average, into our 80s so we will spend around a third of our lives in post-menopause.

Our goal shouldn't be to get back to "normal." Instead, it should be to create a new normal—one where we are empowered with knowledge to thrive in our next stage of life.🙌

When temperatures rise, so can everything else — heart rate and irritability, For many in perimenopause and menopause, heat can also intensify symptoms like hot flushes, brain fog and fatigue.

One simple tool that helps regulate your system is your breath.

Try this today:

Inhale gently through your nose for 4
Hold for 2
Exhale slowly through your mouth for 6–8

Repeat for 5 cycles.

This longer exhale signals to your nervous system that you’re safe, helping to reduce that “overheated and overwhelmed” feeling — especially in hot offices or homes

It won’t cool the weather, but it can help your body respond to it with a bit more ease.

Small reset. Big difference in how you may feel today🙏

Menopause can bring physical symptoms such as hot flushes, (not ideal during a heatwave!) 🥵🔥 sleep disruption and joint aches, but it can also affect our emotional wellbeing and confidence, so a lot can be going on just under the surface.

Many of us are so busy looking after everyone else, working and juggling responsibilities that we don't notice the impact perimenopause, menopause or post menopause is having until it is really having an impact.

Taking a few minutes each day to check in with yourself can make a real difference.

Ask yourself:

➡️ How am I doing today?
➡️ How have I slept?
➡️What is my stress level like?
➡️What could I do today to help?

The answers don't need to lead to major changes. Sometimes it's simply about recognising what we need and giving ourselves permission to prioritise us!

Small, regular check-ins can help us understand our symptoms, spot patterns and make choices that support our wellbeing in the long term.
