Pause to Unpause

From Overwhelmed to Balanced
Managing Stress in Perimenopause, Menopause & Beyond

Wednesday
6th May,
7:00pm-8:30pm

Woollahra Sailing Club

A warm and practical evening for women who want to better understand their bodies, feel calmer and restore a sense of balance during this stage of life.

Many women find that stress feels harder to manage during perimenopause, menopause and beyond. Hormonal changes, busy lives, family responsibilities and the emotional load of holding everything together can leave us feeling overwhelmed, exhausted or constantly “on edge.”

Often we don’t realise how much stress we’re carrying until our bodies start pushing back.

Our guest expert this month is Tracy Whitton, a psychotherapist with many years’ experience helping people understand and regulate their nervous systems. Tracy will explore why stress often builds during this stage of life - and what we can do to restore balance.

In this session we’ll explore

  • Why stress often feels harder during perimenopause and menopause

  • The hidden emotional and mental load many women carry in midlife and beyond

  • How chronic stress and burnout show up in the body

  • Early signs your system may be overwhelmed

  • Simple ways to pause, reset and restore balance

You’ll leave with

  • A better understanding of stress in this stage of life and how to manage it.

  • Practical tools to calm overwhelm and support your energy

  • A short practice you can use anytime you need to reset
