BROKEN BRITAIN! I am sure I am not the only one to have noticed that good old Blighty seems to be a massive shambles of late. Just when we thought we were emerging from the pandemic, so did our blessed country decide to practically fall apart at the seams – otherwise known as broken Britain.

So when we are met with despair and dysfunction practically everywhere we turn, how can we effectively take it on the chin and not let the shambolic state of our country get to us?

We tapped Marisa Peer, world-renowned therapist and best-selling author who shared her insights and tips with us here:

HANDS UP IF YOU'RE FEELING THE HORMONES!??

The advent of peri-menopause seems to come at the hardest time of our lives – often as we’re navigating children getting older but somehow needing us more. It’s a time when some of us are thinking of running our own business and then BANG here comes the brain fog, the anxiety, the overwhelm and all of the rage.

So what can we do about it?

Well, we can try and rock in a corner, but then someone will probably ask us what’s for tea or whether we can give them a lift to their mates around the corner…

So we have no choice but to crack on and just push forward, even if we’re feeling perimenopausal, right?

Some brilliant tips from mindset coach Sarah Knight, founder of Mind The Gap Business Academy here:
