Hello ladies Sometimes we get so busy that we forget to checkin with ourselves. So this evening take a moment to ask yourself.... What do I need more of right now? Maybe a little rest, a little movement, some company or time just to hear yourself think. For me this community is somewhere we can be honest, feel supported and make a little space for ourselves. Lets start small, share one thing you need this week in the comments. One word is enough if thats all you feel like sharing. I'm here and i'd love to hear how you are doing. Love Lisa x

It’s the time of year here in the UK where wholesome home cooked soups are the go to. I like to batch cook mine on a Monday using up all the left over veggies from the weekend. This is a great way to stop wasting food too. This week I used up all the root veg, in a little olive oil to begin with to soften very slightly. Then added the spices- turmeric, garam masala, cinnamon with organic low salt veggie stock. Simmered it for 20 minutes, let it cool then whizzed it up to make a smooth warming soup. This means you have a lunch already for you for a few days. What are your favourite soup recipes?

I’ve been quieter in here recently. Life and work have taken up a lot of my attention and this space hasn’t had the care I wanted to give it. But my reason for creating Still Her hasn’t changed. I wanted somewhere we could be honest about midlife, feel supported and make a little time for ourselves. Somewhere you can arrive exactly as you are, even if you’ve had a difficult week or haven’t checked in for a while. So, let’s gently get going again 💛 I’m planning Still Her, 3 Days to Nourish You, a little challenge exploring nourishing food, moments of calm and simple everyday habits inspired by an anti-inflammatory lifestyle. We’ll take one small step each day, with space to share how we’re getting on and support each other. Before we begin, I’d love to hear from you.. What would feel most welcome in your life right now, more energy, a little calm or time for yourself? A word is enough, I’m looking forward to reconnecting with you. Love Lisa x

The beauty of midlife is knowing there’s no rush especially in the mornings. A little grounding, morning sunshine and coffee with a view before the day starts is my bliss. How do you like to start your day?

I’ve been thinking a lot about intimacy after menopause. It can affect confidence, desire, body image, relationships and how connected we feel to ourselves but so many women go through these changes quietly. I know this is a subject I want to understand more deeply myself and I’d love Still Her to be a place where we can talk about the things that often get left unsaid. Soooo…. Would you like me to start opening up conversations around intimacy, desire and reconnecting with yourself after menopause? You don’t need to share anything personal today. You can simply comment… Yes Maybe or I’d like to learn more If this resonates, I’ll start bringing more thoughtful, evidence based conversations into the community around it. Love Lisa🤍
