Community & Connection – thats what it’s all about!
On Thursday I had the pleasure of attending another LBL Connect gathering at Ria’s Workshop & Space (at Millers Farm) and being the guest speaker, focusing on Menopause & Womens Health.
Thank you to the beautiful Lisa for arranging yet another wonderful event and for asking me to speak at this one, what an honour.
A wonderful community of women discussed all manor of things, laughed, shared, listened and supported and even cried with laughter on a number of occasions!
The most important thing I want to do when talking to women about their health and their menopausal journey is to create and enable a space where everyone feels safe to share and to talk, a place of fun, trust, honesty, compassion, kindness, integrity and no judgement.
Here are the key takeways:
Education & Understanding – read, listen & learn as much as you can in any way you can focusing in what you’re interested in & start where you are
Rest & Sleep – enforced & purposeful! Make sure you block out time in your diary for this as its very important!
Joy – what brings you joy? Do you do it? If not why not? Now go book in some JOY!!
Support – how are you nourishing your self? Mind, body & soul? Think about your Community, Meal Planning, Family & Friends, what you are watching/reading/listening too etc
Exercise – get lots of fresh air, build a community, support your bone health, MOVE, try yoga / pilates and support you nervous system too.
Food & Hydration – Balance blood sugar (walk after dinner), Prioritise protein, Eat more plants, Fuel with good healthy fats, Fill up on fibre, Consume some carbs, Hydrate – DRINK WATER! Reduce / remove alcohol / sugar / additives/ junk, understand about taking supplements – (collagen, vitamin d, magnesium etc)
Please join me online in November for a whole month of goodness supporting you through your Menopausal Journey & Your Health.

If you have yet to attend one of these meet-up’s then please do, not only is Ria’s space divine and full of gorgeous things to buy, there is something really special & a magic in the air surrounding all the events I have attended there. I can also highly recommend Ria’s Candle Making Workshops and keep an eye out for all the other exciting events there too!
