How does my diet influence how I feel?

We all want to thrive - not just survive - through the decade or so that encompasses perimenopause and menopause. So what can we do to ensure that? 'Healthy eating can have positive impacts on menopause symptoms,' says Dr Alona Pulde, a family doctor who specialises in nutrition. 'Plant foods contain phytoestrogen, which can mimic oestrogen in the body and help with symptoms such as hot flashes.'

    FORGET INTROVERT AND EXTROVERT, COULD YOU BE AN 'otrovert'?

    Most people find it hard to imagine what it feels like to have no group loyalty: to not feel any particular affinity to your nationality, ethnicity, religion, or to your chosen profession, a particular sports team, or your alma mater. These group affiliations form partly because local cultures are diverse, and even small differences can be enough to bind people together — or set them apart.

    Do you need a POWER PAUSE?

    As women, we are told to push. Long before childbirth and in almost everything we do. As a result, we tell ourselves to ‘lean in’, ‘hustle’ and ‘keep going’, as we power on through the relentless, back-to-back demands of our daily lives. As we push harder, we sleep less, hoping that somehow our fatigued bodies and foggy minds will catch up. We are so scared to stop.

    FEEL THE FEAR

    I gaze out the window as the countryside whizzes by in a green blur. Through my much-loved earphones, I listen to the album Scarlet's Walk by Tori Amos — music that has gotten me through much more difficult experiences than this, I remind myself. Because this — although nerve-wracking — is nothing compared to the challenges I have faced in life so far. Really, giving a talk to a room of strangers around my passion — careers in writing — is pretty straightforward stuff.

    THE HIDDEN COST OF caring

    It’s been raining for days. I fantasise about floating away. We all agree that this wet week feels like the longest week ever. I’m counting down the hours until I can escape to Glasgow and be with Joe, and shut the mother away in a box. All week my two little ones, Tess and Emmie, have been as changeable as the sea, sitting at a piano singing Taylor Swift songs one moment, and brimming with worries the next.
