SAT 12/9/26 FUN QUESTION: WHAT HAVE YOU DONE LATELY THAT YOU FEEL PROUD OF?

🦸🏾‍♀️💪🏾It’s not bragging if it’s the truth! 🏆

This weekend's Vex King affirmation re 'self-love'...

FRI 11/9/26 MOVING THROUGH MENOPAUSE SERIES…

🌟 Let’s Talk PERIMENOPAUSE! 🌟 Did you know the average age for entering perimenopause is 45… but symptoms can start much earlier?

Yet so many of us are caught off guard.
👉 “That won’t happen to me… not yet.”
👉 “It’s just stress or getting older.”

💡 Here’s the truth: Awareness is your superpower. 🧠💪
🌀 Perimenopause is the transitional phase before menopause — and it brings physical and emotional changes that are often missed or misunderstood.

Early signs to watch for:
1️⃣ Irregular periods – heavier, lighter, closer, or farther apart
2️⃣ Sleep issues – insomnia, restless nights, early waking
3️⃣ Mood swings – anxiety, irritability, low mood
4️⃣ Hot flushes & night sweats
5️⃣ Other subtle signs:
✅ Vaginal dryness/discomfort
✅ Low libido
✅ Brain fog
✅ Weight gain (especially around the belly)
✅ Joint aches
✅ Dry skin or thinning hair
✅ More UTIs or urinary changes

⚠️ These shifts don’t mean you’re “losing it.” They mean your body is transitioning.

With the right tools and support, you can move through it with confidence and clarity. 🔥

💬 If you’re noticing changes — now’s the time to get informed.

You don’t have to do this alone.

📮 If you’re post menopause you may well still have some perimenopause symptoms or new ones.

❤️ As a certified coach, I’m here to offer evidence-based education to help you understand your body, your hormones, and your power through all stages of menopause and beyond.

❗️If you’d like a free tool to help you gain clarity on which stage of Peri2PostMenopause you are and therefore which strategies for managing symptoms you need to put in place comment or DM the words ‘P2PM CLARITY’ and I’ll message back.

Let’s break the stigma, normalise the convo, and support each other every step of the way. 💪💖

WED 9/9/26 WEEKLY MENOPAUSE RECIPE: EASY PARSLEY PESTO
(Makes about 20 x 2 Tbsp servings)

👨🏾‍🍳🌿This pesto is a little different because it features PARSLEY – this week’s food of the week!

✅Try it the same way you’d normally use pesto: stirred into steamed vegetables for added flavour, as a light sauce for chickpea pasta, or even spooned over steak or chicken!

NOTE: You can make this vegan by substituting nutritional yeast for the cheese. Start with ¼ cup (15 g) and adjust how much, according to taste.

Ingredients:
● ⅔ cup (255 ml) olive oil, divided
● ¼ cup (30 g) chopped walnuts
● 3 cloves garlic, chopped
● 2 cups (120 g) parsley, stems removed
● ¼ tsp sea salt
● ½ cup (40 g) freshly grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste
● Pepper, to taste

Method:
In a small skillet over medium-high heat, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Add the nuts and toast until golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside to cool for 5-10 minutes.

When the nuts are cool, add them to a food processor along with garlic, parsley, salt, and cheese. Process them until they form a thick paste. Drizzle in the olive oil slowly. Taste and adjust the salt/pepper if necessary. Enjoy!

TUE 7/9/26 MENOPAUSE FOOD OF THE WEEK: 🌿PARSLEY 🌿

❗️❓ Parsley: delicious green or throwaway herb/garnish?

🥊 Surprising revelation: Parsley packs a powerful punch of nutrition.

✅ A half-cup of fresh parsley contains 53% of your RDI for vitamin C, 108% of vitamin A, and a whopping 547% of vitamin K (which is important for blood clotting and bone health).

💡 Not only that, but it’s rich in antioxidants and has antibacterial/anti-cancer properties.

❤️ Plus, it has immune boosters and shows promise in improving heart health!

👩🏾‍🍳 You can add parsley to smoothies, pestos, and dips, add it to salad, or stir it into scrambled eggs, soups, stews, or stir-fries.
