  • Drama Queen -
    Mar 5 2025
    Women are a marvel. We juggle careers, families, relationships, and let’s be honest—sometimes entire civilizations (or at least it feels that way). And yet, beneath all the multitasking and magic-making, there’s an invisible force quietly shaping how we experience life: thought. Thought is like that friend who means well but sometimes won’t stop talking. It can uplift us, hold us back, or keep us stuck in old stories we didn’t even write. We all have a drama queen going on in our heads. If you’ve ever gone from “I’ve got this” to “I should live in a cave and never speak again” in the span of five minutes, you know how powerful thought can be. Our minds love a good soap opera. But here’s the thing: not every thought is telling the truth. Some of them are just echoes of old fears, societal pressures, and—let’s be real—your mother’s voice reminding you to wear a cardigan.

    I’m writing to share an exciting and transformative shift in my business that I believe will resonate with many of you. After years of working closely with women at different stages of life, I’m focusing my work on menopause—a powerful and often misunderstood time of transition that affects far more than just our bodies. It’s a phase that impacts our mental health, relationships, sense of purpose, and even how we show up in the workplace. Through my years of coaching, I’ve seen how menopause can create a perfect storm of burnout, stress, and emotional challenges—but I’ve also seen how it can be a time of renewal and growth, especially with the right support. Why This Shift? Menopause is a unique life stage that goes beyond the well-known physical symptoms. It’s a period of deep transformation, marked by changes in hormonal balance, emotional well-being, and for many women, a desire to redefine their life’s purpose. However, this phase often brings to the surface old traumas—both personal and generational—and the pressures of workplace stress, particularly when you’re juggling professional responsibilities with family caregiving roles. Many women, especially those who take on the role of grandmothers or caregivers to their grandchildren, face additional emotional burdens that can lead to burnout. Navigating Hormonal Transitions and Mental Health Menopause is driven by major hormonal shifts, including changes in oestrogen, progesterone, and testosterone levels, which can lead to: Mood swings, anxiety, and depression. Cognitive challenges like brain fog and memory issues. Feelings of irritability or being emotionally overwhelmed. These changes can impact every aspect of life—from your personal relationships to your professional performance. Without proper support, this emotional strain can lead to exhaustion, feelings of disconnection, and even a loss of self-confidence. Burnout and Stress in the Workplace For many women, menopause coincides with increased responsibilities at work. Juggling demanding professional roles while experiencing hormonal fluctuations can make it harder to concentrate, stay productive, or handle stress effectively. You might find yourself: Struggling with brain fog or fatigue that makes tasks feel overwhelming. Feeling emotionally reactive, leading to tension with colleagues or clients. Battling imposter syndrome, questioning whether you’re able to perform at your previous level. The mental load of menopause, compounded by professional and family responsibilities, often creates a breeding ground for burnout. You may feel like you’re constantly falling behind or trying to live up to an impossible standard—leading to a cycle of stress that can be difficult to break. Healing Generational Trauma In addition to the pressures of work and hormonal changes, menopause often brings to light unresolved trauma. For many women, the role of grandmother or primary caregiver to their grandchildren reignites patterns passed down through generations. You might notice emotional wounds from your own upbringing resurfacing. Old family dynamics may reappear, creating strain in your relationships with children or grandchildren. The weight of caring for others while suppressing your own needs can perpetuate a cycle of self-sacrifice that has been inherited through generations. Healing these generational traumas is essential—not just for your own well-being but for breaking the cycle for future generations. By addressing and working through these deep-rooted patterns, you can free yourself from the emotional burdens of the past and create healthier relationships moving forward.
