🚨 Waking up at 3am and unable to get back to sleep?
If you're in perimenopause or menopause, it may not be "just stress" or something you're doing wrong.
Hormonal changes can affect:
✨ Sleep quality
✨ Cortisol levels
✨ Blood sugar balance
✨ Cravings and appetite
✨ Energy and focus
✨ Weight management
Many women blame themselves for feeling exhausted, reaching for sugar, or struggling with motivation after a poor night's sleep, when often, your body is responding exactly as it's designed to, when hormones fluctuate and your nervous system is under pressure.
In this week's podcast episode, I explain why night waking happens during menopause, how cortisol may be involved, and some gentle ways to support better sleep without adding more pressure to yourself.

What's your biggest sleep challenge right now?
Is it falling asleep, waking in the night, early waking, racing thoughts, or something else?

I’m so excited to be joining Kristin Hadley for a really special conversation designed for animal-loving women navigating the emotional, physical and spiritual shifts of perimenopause and menopause 💜
During menopause, our hormones shift and fall out of alignment. This can affect everything as sleep becomes disrupted, anxiety increases, energy drops, emotions feel heightened, brain fog appears and often we stop feeling like ourselves.
Together, we’ll be exploring why alignment matters so much during this transition and how reconnecting with our bodies can help us create calmer, healthier outcomes so we can feel more rested, energised, emotionally balanced and supported.
I’ll be sharing simple ways we can begin to realign with our bodies and nervous systems during menopause, while Kristin will explore how our animals naturally and intuitively support our energy every single day.
Animals have an incredible ability to help regulate, comfort, ground and guide us emotionally and physically, often without us even realising it. We’ll also talk about how deepening our awareness, intuition and connection with animals can support healing and self-understanding during this stage of life.
This conversation is especially for:
💜 women in perimenopause or menopause who are exhausted, anxious or struggling with sleep
💜 animal lovers who feel deeply connected to their pets
💜 women wanting to feel more like themselves again
💜 those seeking deeper mind-body-spirit alignment and support during this transition
It’s going to be a beautiful, insightful and empowering conversation and we can’t wait to share it with you.
Come and join us, 1st June: 7pm ✨
