Menopause and Motherhood | Perimenopause support, weight loss, quick workouts, home education tips for busy mums
Welcome to Menopause and Motherhood – the empowering podcast created especially for menopausal mums who are ready to reclaim their health, confidence, and sanity… all while managing the beautiful chaos of family life – including homeschooling. Navigating menopause is a journey, and when you’re also supporting your children’s education at home, it can feel like you’re juggling a hundred things at once. But this phase of life is also a powerful opportunity to embrace change, prioritise your well-being, and rediscover the version of yourself that’s been tucked away under the to-do lists. I’ll guide you through my simple 3-step process to help you lose weight and start feeling like you again – focusing on the three core pillars: rest, fuel, and move. 🌙 Rest: Because when you’re educating at home and dealing with sleep disturbances, burnout is real. We’ll explore practical tips to improve your sleep, manage stress, and restore balance – so you can show up fully for your family and yourself. 🍏 Fuel: You’ll learn how to nourish your body with realistic, hormone-supportive nutrition that works around family meals and homeschooling routines. 🏃 Move: Let’s make movement simple, effective, and even enjoyable – with routines that can fit around your day, whether you’ve been teaching maths or chasing toddlers. Join me for expert interviews, real-life stories, and practical advice that speaks directly to where you are – in the midst of menopause, motherhood, and maybe even math lessons. Subscribe to “Menopause and Motherhood” today – because thriving through menopause and homeschooling isn’t just possible – it’s powerful. www.wellnessandwellies.com wellnessandwelliesuk@gmail.com The information contained herein is for informational and educational purposes only, and should not, and in no way should, be perceived as or relied upon in any way as medical, mental health, health care or nutritional advice.

Hey friend!
As mums we often hold the key to the family dynamic we can create the mood for the whole family. Have you ever noticed when you are off your kids are off? You are the thermostat not the thermometer you have the ability to create the mood in our family home and in the world in which you live.
Be the light and the joy, be kind to those around you as your energy really is pwoerful.
Joshusa 1: 8 Keep this book of the law always on your lips; mediate on it day and night.
Have an amazing day
Love and light

Hey Mumma,
Did you know working out from home does not need to cost lots of money or take up lots of space. You don't need a treadmill or exercise bike that sits in the corner as an expensive clothes hanger!
With Covid so many more people took their workouts home and found out what many of us had been saying for ages that home workouts are just as effective as going to the gym.
You do not need a tonne of fancy equipment to get a great workout here are 4 things to get you started!
Share your kit with me over in the FB group and if you have any questions about kit drop me a message or post in the group would love to have a Q&A around this if that would help?
Have a great day
Love and light

Do you think you need to spend hours in the gym to get a great workout and lose weight?
Do you feel. like you don't have enough time to work out? (go back to last weeks episode)
Why just 30 minutes for a workout?
It is a doable amount - you do not have to be an athlete to workout for 30 minutes per day 30 minutes with the dog, go for a walk on your lunch break.
Walking 30 minutes on your lunch break can burn between 100-200 calories do this time 5 times a week thats an extra 500-1000 calories.
Cycling 30 minutes to work could burn 300 calories, think about it like this to lose a found it is estimated you need a calories defiicet of 3,500 a week that is 500 per day cycle to and from work you would notice a BIG difference. 30 minutes of yoga in the morning burns approx 150 calories so that morning stretch could go a long way to helping you lose weight
30 minutes of weigh training can burn 90-120 but remember the more muscle mass you have the higher your MBR the calories you burn when you are resting. 30 minutes is not intimidating - many workout classes in gyms can be up to an hour long and that can feel pretty intense
Mentally we know we can find 30 minutes and even if it isnt something you love you know you can 30 minutes plus it is it enough to get the endorphins pumping and set you up for the day!
A study found from the American Journal of physiology found that those who workout for half an hour lost as much weight as those who worked out for 30 minutes.
Why? Because those who worked out for an hour ate more calories after their workout as they thought they had.
You wont over train and will keep cortisol levels low especially important in luteal and menstrual phases of your cycle.
What do my 30 minutes look like? A morning workout of cardio or weights depending on where i am in my cycle and a dog walk at lunch time to get me moving and the endorphins pumping!
Have a great week, love and light

Hey Mumma,
An attitude of gratitude... we have all heard it before that we should practice gratitude. As annoying as that phrase is and how ever many times we hear it, it is true!
The few weeks where Chloe was between school and the nights when I dragged myself to bed exhausted I would make myself think about the things i was grateful for. Especially the fact that I had extra time with my daughter.
2 years ago when we were i lockdown i was soo fed up of being just her and I and honestly would dread being on my own with her. But now I love being with her and in all honesty I seriously considered home school but finances just wont allow it for us right now.
Being thankful in the challenging times can be the biggest challenge but it is in these times when we need to move closer to God and thank you for the smallest things we have in our lives.
Scripture:
'Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus" 1 Thessalonians 5:18
Have an amazing week

I am resourceful - I use creative methods to construct the best possible life
I have had to get resourceful these past few weeks with Chloe being home whilst we are in the transition between schools. But in short all of my productivity systems and planning has really helped me to make sure that I am still showing up in all the places this past month.
I have 100% used my creative methods to make the best possible life during this phase.
