Welcome my 'hot' friend... We are going through one of the most beautiful transformations a woman can experience. Our bodies are guiding us through this change — with ease, with grace, with flow/ 🌸 A sacred rebirth. A soft unveiling. A radiant new chapter. Ah… excuse me...NO. THEY. ARE. NOT. 😤

Let’s be real for a sec. (as it's just us gals after all)

Sweaty armpits in the middle of a Zoom call.

Mood swings that even a toddler on red cordial couldn’t compete with.

One minute you’re ready to start a business — the next, you’re sobbing because your dog looked at you funny.

You wake up at 3am, not to meditate or journal… but to stare at the ceiling and wonder if sleep was just a myth invented by the patriarchy.

Your libido’s gone MIA, your jeans have suddenly turned on you, and someone dares to say “just go for a walk and drink water” like they’re trying to get drop-kicked into next week.

Sound familiar?

You’re not losing your mind — you’re just in menopause. And no, you shouldn’t have to do it alone (or suffer in silence with a fan shoved down your top).

That’s where I come in.

Introducing the Hot Flashes & Bold Moves 8-week workshop — a judgment-free, laugh-so-you-don’t-cry, information-packed journey for women over 40 who are DONE being confused, exhausted, and ignored.

👑 Expect real talk.
💪 Get real support.
🔥 Make real change.

You’ll walk away feeling empowered, understood, and ready to own this next chapter — hot flashes and all.

Because if you’re going to be on fire, you may as well make bold moves while you’re at it.

🔥 Your second act is just getting started. Join other women just like you...

Love & Hugs,

Lara xx

Common Questions

Why am I gaining weight during menopause, even though I'm eating less?

Your metabolism naturally slows down during menopause, and hormonal shifts trigger fat storage, especially around the belly. Adjusting your diet and exercise can significantly help manage this.

Are mood swings and anxiety normal in menopause, or am I just going crazy?

Absolutely normal! Hormonal fluctuations can impact mood, causing heightened anxiety and emotional ups and downs. Mindfulness practices, lifestyle adjustments, and emotional support can ease these symptoms.

How long do hot flashes last, and will they ever go away?

Hot flashes typically last 1–5 minutes each, but the overall experience can span from months to several years. Practical lifestyle adjustments and stress management techniques can greatly reduce their frequency and intensity.

Can menopause really impact my sex drive?

Yes, declining estrogen levels during menopause often lead to decreased libido and discomfort during intimacy. Thankfully, there are solutions—from natural remedies to lifestyle adjustments—to help reclaim your sexual confidence.
