Navigating the Menopause ๐Ÿงญ

This time last year, I started my menopause journey, aged 46. I was all over the place, emotionally exhausted and physically knackered not really understanding who I was anymore. But when the penny finally dropped that I was perimenopausal, there was so much to talk about but not so many people that wanted to talk to me about it. If it doesn't give you the 'ick' you can hear my story here: https://cmls.world/navigating-the-menopause/ #TimeToTalk #MenopauseAwarenessMonth #BreakTheStigma #MenopauseMatters ๐Ÿงญ๐Ÿ“–

Iโ€™m just returning from my latest holiday to Maderia, feeling sad and thinking about when I will next get to go back to this beautiful Portuguese island.

Dyslexia – My Super Power!

It's Dyslexia Awareness Week 2024 and this yearโ€™s theme is โ€œWhatโ€™s Your Story?โ€. I'm happy to say my hidden #superpower is being dyslexic - hidden because since university days, I haven't spoken or wanted to talk much about it. So why now am I talking about dyslexia? I think, sadly it's only now because neurodiversity in the work place is being talked about. So what would I say to any adult in the workplace who has dyslexia? Embrace it and re-visit your #SuperPower again.
