Parul M.’s Post

Welcome to my channel where real talk meets real life! In today's video, I'm diving into the world of menopause, sharing my own story as a woman over 40 grappling with the unexpected adventures of perimenopause and those pesky hot flashes. It all started this morning with a simple walk to the train and ended in a sweat session that wasn't gym-related! Join me as I candidly discuss the discomforts of hot flashes, and how they can strike when least expected. But, it's not just about the struggles; I'm also sharing practical tips and strategies I've discovered for managing these sudden heat waves. From lifestyle changes to wardrobe choices, and even a few laughs along the way, we'll explore how to navigate this natural yet sometimes frustrating phase of life. Perfect for women who are entering or already in their menopausal years, this video aims to educate, empower, and entertain. So, whether you're experiencing similar symptoms or just want to understand more about this life stage, tune in for an honest, insightful, and somewhat humorous take on menopause.

In all the interactions I have with women in the work I do, the language around #menopause is often reductive before the work gets started. It can be considerations around reducing working hours, less social time, being too tired....less, less, less. When we're in a position of empowerment, we make those choices because we want to. Menopause doesn't get to dictate that. But what it does do, is offer the biggest opening (often the first in a woman's life) where she gets to become her true self, someone who prioritises her own health, and finds her joy and sense of purpose. An example of this is when a woman doesn't feel in alignment with her career or role that she is in, or other commitments in their life. It can often be that they were never in alignment, or didn't get changed as she grew, but it was easier to masquerade. Now it's a time when the gloves are off, and choices can be made from the deepest and most authentic place. #hormones #postmenopause #testosterone #DHEA #pregnenolone #dutchtest #energy #lifestyle #mood #fatigue #anxiey #oestrogendominance #hotflushes #depression #stressreduction #cortisol #sleep #breastcancer #menopausementoring #menopauseawareness #menopausesymptoms #menopauseintheworkplace #perimenopause #antiaging #healthylifestyle #stress

🎢 The Emotional Rollercoaster of Menopause 🎢 Menopause isn’t just about the physical changes you may be experiencing —it can also bring an emotional rollercoaster that feels overwhelming at times. From unexpected mood swings to anxiety or feelings of sadness, many women find themselves navigating emotional turbulence they never anticipated. 💔 One moment you're feeling fine, and the next, you’re battling irritability, restlessness, or even deep emotional lows. And with these ups and downs, finding effective coping mechanisms can be a struggle. You might even feel as though you're losing touch with yourself, adding to the confusion and frustration. Menopause is a time of deep transformation, and the emotional shifts are part of this awakening. There’s no shame in feeling all the feels. Your emotions are valid, and you deserve space to process them. 🌿 The Soulful Menopause Club a space where you can find support and understanding during menopause - Link in the comments 🌸 You’re not alone in this journey.

Happy #WorldMenopauseDay I’m just back from a fab Staffordshire Chambers of Commerce networking event having spent time with some amazing fellow business owners, managers and leaders (that’s a whole other post and story)!!! My message specifically today is the narrative around #menopause As a 52 year old female business owner it can be tough, at times, showing up front and centre when you don’t always feel like it. Sooooo many symptoms to choose from… hot flushes, night sweats, fatigue, insomnia, joint pain, anxiety, depression, irritability, brain fog, itchy skin & memory lapses, to mention just a few. Menopause is a natural part of aging It's a normal stage of life that can actually be a time for empowerment & personal growth. Time to be your very best authentic self 💪💪 It really is time that Menopause is no longer seen as a taboo subject. We should NEVER feel uncomfortable discussing symptoms or seeking support. It's important to break the stigma and have open conversations about menopause as it directly affects about half of the population and can indirectly affect the rest. The more we talk about it, the less taboo it becomes. The easier the conversations, at home and at work, will become.
