I didn’t set out to write a book… I set out to survive what felt like complete chaos.
One minute I was fine, the next I was dealing with hot flushes, brain fog, mood swings, and thinking “what on earth is happening to me?” and honestly, no one had really prepared me for it.
So I did what I tend to do… I wrote it all down.
Peri Panic came from real moments, real conversations, and a lot of “this cannot just be me”. I wanted something that felt like a friend sitting next to you not a clinical manual. Something honest, a bit cheeky and actually helpful.
At this stage of life it can all feel confusing, overwhelming… and sometimes downright ridiculous.
Don't worry you’re not alone in it.
Now, I’m building the Chill & Cheers Menopause collection, books, journals, and tools designed to support women through this stage in a way that feels real, relatable and (where we can) a little bit lighter.
If there’s one thing I want you to take from all of this, it’s this: 👉 You’re not losing yourself you’re just going through a shift no one properly explained.....and the good news there's a glow up a the end!
We’re figuring it out together.
