Hi!

Running a business is hard for everybody.

But running a business when you’re perimenopausal can be next level hard.

Here’s a snippet of what I’ve experienced over the last 10 years as a midlife perimenopausal entrepreneur.

  • Being so angry that the slightest bit of negativity that came my way enraged me and made me hate the world as well as myself.

  • Experiencing a weekly and then twice weekly migraine that put me out of action for 48 hours a week.

  • Having to hide that so that nobody in my membership or my clients knew because if they knew they would probably think I was incompetent which leads me to my next point.

  • Fear of everything. Fear of rejection. Fear of failing. Fear of showing my face (yes there was a time when I wouldn’t show my face online). This led to a lack of confidence. Hiding away.

  • The memory loss and the brain fog. Not remembering what I’m supposed to be doing. Over relying on list after list after list and then forgetting to actually read the list or going to read the list and not remembering what the thing on the list actually was.

In 2022 I decided to put my experiences to good use and trained to be a Menopause Wellness Practioner. I now combine this with my 20 years of marketing and retail experience to support midlife entrepreneurs like you, boss midlife.
