Menopause doesn’t just impact your body – it can wreak havoc on your finances, your self-worth, and your plans for the future. If you’ve found yourself financially derailed in midlife, you're not alone. I’ve been there too. And today, I want to show you how I rebuilt my life and income on my terms – and how you can do the same.
This isn’t about hustling harder or burning yourself out. It’s about taking small, sustainable steps to create a life that feels aligned, supportive and financially stable – even after menopause has thrown a few curveballs your way.
Let’s start by saying this clearly: if menopause has disrupted your earning power, your career trajectory, or your ability to build a pension, it’s not your fault.
Menopause symptoms like brain fog, fatigue, anxiety, and mood swings can make it difficult to function in the workplace – let alone climb the career ladder. And yet, so many of us are sold the idea that if we’re struggling, it must be because we’re not trying hard enough. That’s just one of the biggest financial lies women in midlife are told.
For many of us, the so-called “peak earning years” collide with the peak of our hormonal chaos. We’re often caring for children, ageing parents, or both – while managing careers and trying to keep our own health in check. It’s no wonder finances take a hit.
Here’s a bit about me.
I’ve lived through the menopause rollercoaster, and while my symptoms have eased, the impact has been long-lasting. I’ve been left with chronic fatigue, meaning I can no longer work to the same capacity I once could.
My work history started outdoors – long days with horses, teaching riding, and later transitioning into the classroom, tutoring and teaching in high schools. I still tutor now, but I needed to adapt. I needed income options that were flexible, energy-efficient, and aligned with who I am now.
That’s when I discovered the subscription economy and the power of income on your own terms.
One of the tools that helped me massively was a small daily habit I created: the Morning Money Minute.
It’s exactly what it sounds like – one minute every morning to check in with your money. Where are you at? What’s coming in? What’s going out? What’s your money doing?
This isn’t about budgeting down to the last penny. It’s about creating awareness. When you know your numbers, you start to feel in control again. And when you feel in control, you make better decisions – which leads to better outcomes.
I now use the subscription model to earn income. It’s flexible, scalable, and it works with my energy levels and family life. But – not all subscriptions are created equal. If you’re considering one, here’s what I’d encourage you to ask:
Does it align with you? If it doesn’t excite you or feel like something you’d enjoy, it’s a no.
Is there a supportive community? Being part of a network of like-minded women can be a game-changer.
Is it sustainable and secure? Look into how long it’s been around, the business model, and its track record.
Does it work with your skills and lifestyle? It should fit around you, not the other way around.
Can it grow with you? You want something that allows for flexibility and potential.
I’ve found a model that works for me, and I share it with the women I support. But it all starts with that alignment.
Let me be clear: I haven’t done this all by myself.
The digital tools available to us now are phenomenal – all I used to create this video and this blog was my phone. That’s it. No big tech set-up, no fancy editing team. If I can do it, you can do it too.
Midlife doesn't have to mean “starting over” in the traditional sense. It’s about starting from experience. And now, more than ever, there are opportunities to create income that suits your values, your energy, and your vision for the future.
If you’re nodding along and thinking maybe I could do this, then I’d love to invite you to take the next step.

👉 You’ll also find a link to book a free call with me. It’s just a chat – no pressure, no sales pitch. We’ll talk about your goals, your skills, and whether this could be a fit.
I don’t promote dozens of different things – that would be overwhelming. I focus on one main offer, because I believe in keeping things simple and sustainable.
You might be feeling tired. You might be feeling uncertain. But if there’s a voice inside you that says I’m not done yet – listen to her. She knows.
You’ve still got so much to offer, and the world needs more women like you – strong, seasoned, and ready to create a life that actually works.
Midlife might have knocked you off track, but you’re allowed to rebuild on your terms. You’re allowed to want more – more freedom, more income, more confidence.
And I’m here to help you find it.
Midlife women can build confidence, income and lifestyle freedom after menopause. Learn how to overcome financial setbacks and create flexible, sustainable income streams.

The Cost-of-Living Crisis and What you can do to Thrive
04 April 2022
It’s all over the news and social media, there is a rapidly developing cost of living crisis. For many there already was and has been for some time.
Let’s just make it clear; 100% of women will go through perimenopause and on into menopause. 99% of women going through ‘The Change’ will experience some symptoms that can affect daily life to some degree.
Like most of us I didn’t always have a flexible work regime and found myself working hours for a fixed income that didn’t quite meet the lifestyle I wanted to lead.
In fact, it was not all that long ago that I had to totally reassess what I was doing and where I wanted to be.
