You haven’t lost it

You’ve just evolved. And the woman you are now is just as worthy, just as capable—and maybe even wiser—than the one you used to be.

Confidence isn’t about becoming someone else. It’s about remembering who you are.

And yet, during perimenopause, it’s common to feel like you don’t recognise yourself at all. The mood shifts, anxiety, brain fog and physical changes can leave you questioning everything—from your ability to show up at work to how you feel in your own skin. The inner friction builds, and before you know it, your self-trust starts to erode.

But this season of change isn’t a loss—it’s an invitation.

Rethinking dieting in midlife – What if there's a better way?

The message women hear for most of their lives is this: if you're not happy in your body, just go on a diet. And many of us do. Again and again. We buy the shakes, cut the carbs, count the calories. But what if the problem isn't your body, but the belief that you need fixing?

If you’ve ever felt stuck in the loop of dieting, losing, regaining, and starting over, this is for you. Let’s unwrap how to shift from chasing short-term fixes to building long-term health and confidence

Let’s be honest—menopause is still a bit of a taboo in many workplaces. It’s something whispered about rather than openly discussed, yet for millions of women, it’s a daily reality that affects how they feel, think, and perform at work.

What if losing your hair meant losing a part of your identity? For many women, hair is deeply intertwined with confidence, self-worth, and emotional well-being.

Nicola Wood, founder of The Wonderful Wig Company, TEDx speaker, and author, shares the emotional and psychological impact of hair loss.

There’s a narrative around midlife that many of us have unconsciously absorbed—the idea that once we hit our forties and fifties, things start going downhill. But what if midlife isn’t the beginning of the end but the start of something incredible?

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the changes that perimenopause and menopause bring, this blog is here to remind you that you are not past it. You are just getting started.

I hadn’t significantly climbed the career ladder, I’d progressed steadily with great performance and feedback on my contribution to the business. I didn’t step up to a director role, like some of those I’d interviewed and brought into the company years before. I suppose I'd plodded, always contributing and diligent, but never taking the next big leap. Something had held me back, that inner voice chattering endlessly, making sure I knew my limits. 

I’d been at Nike for 20 years, dedicated nearly half my life to the company. I’d earned the respect of my colleagues and was a valued member of an international team, at one of the biggest brands in the world. I’d always get an appreciative reaction when I introduced myself in meetings, gave my Nike story and said how long I’d been with the company. I wasn’t smug about it; I was proud. I’d committed myself to Nike and could be relied upon. The longer I was there, the more settled and content I felt. I guess it made me feel safe.
