Menopause is more than a biological change – it’s a transition that touches every aspect of life, including how we work, focus, and create.
For freelancers and self-employed women, this can mean a direct impact on energy, productivity, and wellbeing.
This workshop offers knowledge, reflection, and practical tools to help you navigate this time consciously and confidently – while staying connected to your body and your work.
In this session, you will:
🌿 Understand what happens during peri- and menopause
🌿 Learn how hormonal shifts affect your focus and performance
🌿 Explore practical strategies for self-care and balance
🌿 Reflect on your own work-life rhythm and sustainable wellbeing
Designed for self-employed women aged 40+ who want to understand their bodies, maintain energy and confidence, and shape their freelance life with awareness.
