Here’s an interesting thought.

With thousands of Australian pharmacists and pharmacy staff now completing dedicated menopause education…

Could the pharmacist you speak to at your local pharmacy actually have had more specific training in perimenopause and menopause than your GP?

Not necessarily more medical knowledge.

Not more qualified.

But more recent, dedicated menopause specific education?

Quite possibly.

And rather than seeing that as a criticism of GPs, I see it as another sign of progress.

The more healthcare professionals who understand perimenopause and menopause, the more places women can go to have informed conversations about what is happening to them and what their options might be.

That can only be a good thing. 💜 photo supplied by my 26 year old son in Sydney (check him out in one of my reels from earlier this year) who loves seeing menopause support being publicised 💜💜💜💜

Today is World Menopause Day.

Awareness matters. But what happens during the other 364 days matters more.

This year’s theme is chronic pain at midlife.

A reminder that pain deserves to be recognised, given consideration, properly assessed and taken seriously, rather than brushed off as “just getting older” or dismissed.

And that need to be heard extends to the wider menopause experience.

Good care.
Practical support.
Understanding and consideration.

Whether we are at work, at home or in our relationships. Relationships of all kinds.

A day of conversation is valuable.

What we do with that conversation tomorrow is where the difference is made. 💜

Looking after my menopausal skin with the best in the business, Isobel Peters registered cosmetic nurse Skin Agents Aesthetics and Beauty in Guildford, Western Australia 💜 No filter btw

A little reminder to all us lovely ladies: we deserve the pampering, we deserve the time, and we deserve to feel bloody good in the skin we’re in. Today I am getting Venus Versa Radiofrequency with Opuluxe V infusion. Will take after pics after my third session. The results are amazing I’ve had it before and I had no hesitation to do it again.

That’s not vanity. That’s self care.

So what exactly do I do?

Fair question, because menopause and andropause support has become a very crowded space.

I’m not a doctor. I’m not a dietitian. I’m not going to tell you which supplements to take or what you should eat for breakfast.

I’m a qualified counsellor, an experienced coach and trained in relationship counselling, including Gottman Levels 1 & 2. I’ve also spent 26 years working at senior level across corporate and operational environments. I know the drill when I your performance is suddenly under the microscope, you’re questioning yourself and/or you can’t work out when you stopped feeling relevant to the organisation.

So if hormonal change is messing with your relationship, your s*x life, your confidence, your work or simply how you feel about yourself, that’s much more my territory.

I can also help you make sense of symptoms, look at the options available, prepare for conversations with your healthcare professional and build the confidence to advocate for yourself. You make the choices.

And if you need expertise I don’t have? I’ll say so. There are plenty of excellent professionals doing great work in their own areas.

I don’t need to be everything to everybody. I’d rather be bloody good at what I actually know.

Relationships are complicated enough. Add midlife, hormone changes, perhaps decades together and shifts in your confidence and self esteem, and making sense of what’s happening between you can feel overwhelming.

As an accredited counsellor and experienced coach with Gottman Method Level 1 and 2 training, I help individuals and couples of all genders understand these changes, communicate their needs and find ways to reconnect for the years ahead.

You don’t need to have the words worked out before you seek support. Finding them can be part of our work together

29/09/2026

Still love them, but feel differently about them?
Want intimacy, but not necessarily s*x?
Good at your job, but questioning whether you even want it anymore?

And somewhere in all of that: “What about me? What do I actually want?”

These are the conversations I want to bring out into the open.

So, let me properly introduce what I specialise in at Empower the Pause: midlife relationships, s*x, libido and identity.

Our relationships with partners, friends and family. How we feel about ourselves. And what happens when the roles we’ve spent years filling start to feel uncomfortable.

Work belongs in that conversation too. I bring 26 years of corporate experience across organisational development, people and culture, including work in psychosocial safety, alongside my counselling, coaching and menopause training.

Because we don’t leave our personal lives at the office door. Or our working lives at the kitchen table.

Through counselling and coaching, I support individuals and couples to explore what’s changing, what they need and how to talk about it.

Expect honest conversations, practical ideas and a bit of Welsh humour. Some things are easier to talk about once someone has said them out loud.

Coming next: looking at someone you love and realising you feel differently about them.

Sound familiar? Follow me or reach out confidential no obligation introductory chat. There’s plenty for us to talk about.

UNPACKING MISOGYNY: THE S*X EDITION 🍆

For centuries, women have been taught a s**t load about what s*x can result in.

Pregnancy. Babies. STIs. Reputation. Shame.

We haven’t always been quite so enthusiastic about teaching women about pleasure.

Now why would that be????

Because while pe*******on became the “main event”, only 18.4% of women in one large US study said in*******se alone was sufficient for or**sm.

Then there’s the cl****is. An organ whose primary known function is pleasure, yet female s*xual anatomy has historically been obsolete from medical training! Despite half of the world having that anatomy!

Ah but when it came to reproduction…. Step up ladies the limelight is yours! Women’s bodies were studied extensively for that purpose 🙄

Female pleasure? Pass the magnifying glasses. 🔎

And women couldn’t exactly win.

Too little desire? Problem.
Too much? Also a problem.
Pain during s*x? Stop putting me off woman!
Then menopause arrives and we’re encouraging women to speak up about painful s*x, changing desire, or**sm and what they actually need.

Damn straight.

But perhaps we should acknowledge what generations of women are speaking up from.

Because maybe the question isn’t:

“Why are women only starting to speak up about what they want?” But more along the lines of ….

“Talk to me about what you want, what you desire, not because I need to hear it to get my rocks off but because it matters?”

📦 Because you can’t change what you haven’t unpacked.

Apparently “speaker uppers” isn’t a proper job title. I’ve never been one for titles anyway. 📣🌍

We have plenty to say to each other, on social media, to our families about menopause care. What helped. What was missed. What we wish someone had explained before we started wondering what on earth was happening to us.

Now there’s an opportunity to put those experiences to work.

Australia’s government funded perimenopause and menopause guidelines are being developed, and we can help shape the questions and topics they address.

For me, this matters because what looks adequate on paper can feel very different when you’re the person sitting in the consulting room.

Our experiences can help the people developing these guidelines understand where care needs to improve. For us and those coming after us.

If you’re experiencing perimenopause or menopause, or have experienced it in the past three years, take a look at the survey.

Consider this your outside voice. I intend to use mine. 💜

UNPACKING MISOGYNY: THE SPEAK UP EDITION 📦

We’re telling women to talk more openly about perimenopause and menopause at work.

But how safe does it actually feel to do that?

Almost 12,000 miles apart, women in Ireland’s National Ambulance Service and women in Australian mining have made allegations about misogyny, harassment, discrimination, bullying and what can happen when women speak up.

Different countries. Different industries. Familiar concerns.

And it made me think about the women experiencing perimenopause and menopause at work right now.

What if you’re struggling with concentration and worried someone will question your capability?

What if exhaustion is affecting your work and you’re frightened you’ll be labelled unreliable?

What if you need flexibility or an adjustment but don’t want your manager thinking you can no longer do your job?

What if you already feel you’re being treated differently and you don’t know whether it’s menopause, your age, your gender, or all three?

Having a menopause policy doesn’t necessarily make those conversations feel safe.

Neither does having a Speak Up policy, a whistleblower hotline or a poster saying “Your voice matters.”

The culture people experience matters.

And if any of this feels familiar, you don’t have to work out how to navigate it on your own.

This is part of the work I do. I help people make sense of what’s happening, think through their options and find the words to advocate for themselves at work.

Sometimes you need information.

Sometimes you need a strategy.

And sometimes you simply need somewhere safe to start the conversation.

A Speak Up policy isn’t a Speak Up culture.

And a menopause policy isn’t automatically a menopause safe culture.

📦 Because you can’t change what you haven’t unpacked.

This isn’t about pitting women against their doctors.

Medical dismissal is real, and some women have had to fight incredibly hard to be heard. We shouldn’t diminish those experiences.

But equally, not every doctor is the enemy.

Many are working within a medical system historically built around male bodies, male symptoms and male research. Menopause education has been inconsistent. Some doctors will openly acknowledge what they don’t know. Others may not.

Yes, the system needs to change. And yes, we deserve better care.

But while we’re changing it, let’s get smarter at navigating it. Use your circle of control to plan, and the circle of influence to get the outcome you need.

We can walk in expecting a fight, or we can walk in informed, prepared and ready to advocate for ourselves.

Work with your doctor where you can. Question things when you need to. Seek another opinion when necessary. Don’t accept any less than you deserve.

And don’t accept having symptoms that are affecting your life left unexplored.

We can challenge the system without making every doctor the opposition.

That’s advocacy too.
