In this episode, I’m sharing a real and refreshing look at how I start my day as a home-educating mum navigating menopause, school runs, and wellness—all before 9AM.

From my 5:30 AM wake-up and solo workout, to a protein-rich breakfast and the joy of being woken by my daughter, I’m walking you through a typical morning that balances movement, mindset, and motherhood. Whether it’s a school day or a home education rhythm day, I’ve learned how powerful a grounded routine can be—especially during perimenopause.

If you’re a woman juggling menopause symptoms, homeschooling or flexi-schooling, and want to start your day with more intention (and less chaos), this one’s for you.

🎧 Listen now to hear:

• How early mornings support my hormonal health

• My favourite wellness rituals for menopause

• Blending school-day structure with home ed freedom

• Tips for a calm and connected start with your kids

In today’s episode — we’re leaning into our wellness. Because yes, we’re educating little humans, managing homes, and keeping everything afloat... but we’re also women, with needs that change through seasons, cycles, and years.

So today we’re chatting about women’s health, the menopause journey, and how a little thing — like a cup of tea — can become a powerful part of our daily rhythm.

This one’s for you. 💛

To anyone home educating through menopause: you are doing something incredibly brave and beautiful. But please don’t forget—your wellbeing is just as important as your children.

Give yourself grace. Build in rest. Laugh when you forget what day it is. And remember, this is a season—and it will pass.

📚 "So what exactly is the National Curriculum in the UK?

The people writing your child’s lessons may not be teachers — or even in the school. Many schools pay for lesson plans and worksheets from companies like Twinkl, Oak National Academy, or Read Write Inc. These are private businesses — some driven by profit — shaping your child’s worldview every day.Still think you know what’s happening in the classroom?

So here’s the big question I’ll leave you with today: Do you really know what your child is being taught — and who’s deciding it?

Some days are tough. Plans don’t work. You feel drained. Guess what? That’s okay. No one’s perfect.

Wellness is about progress, not perfection. Give yourself grace and keep going. Your kids are learning resilience just by watching you. I am here to encourage you!
