Imagine this: Sarah, a dedicated mum and small business owner, finds herself struggling with unexpected mood swings, fatigue, and brain fog. She’s juggling her thriving business and family responsibilities, but something feels off. Little does she know, she’s entering perimenopause, a phase that many women experience but few talk about openly.

This story resonates with countless Australian business-owning mums. Navigating the complexities of perimenopause and menopause while running a business can be daunting. That’s why we’re excited to introduce our upcoming workshop, "Navigating Business Through Perimenopause and Menopause," hosted by the renowned naturopath, Emily Rose Yates.

Understanding Perimenopause and Menopause

Perimenopause and menopause are natural stages in a woman’s life, yet they often come with a host of challenges. From hot flashes and night sweats to mood swings and fatigue, these hormonal changes can significantly impact daily life and business productivity. Understanding these stages is the first step towards managing them effectively.

According to Jean Hailes for Women's Health, menopause is defined as the time when a woman has her final period, typically occurring between the ages of 45 and 55, with the average age being 51. Perimenopause is the transitional phase leading up to menopause, characterized by symptoms such as hot flushes, night sweats, and mood swings. These hormonal changes are caused by fluctuations in oestrogen, progesterone, and testosterone levels
