12 WEEKS. INCREDIBLE WOMEN. ONE VERY SPECIAL JOURNEY.
And just like that… our second Midlife Matters cohort has come to an end!
What an incredible 12 weeks it's been, and what a beautiful way to celebrate our journey together.
For our final evening, we headed to The Funky Wee Teapot for some creativity, reflection and celebration.
Our wonderful ladies painted keepsakes to take home, enjoyed delicious grazing boards and reflected on just how far they've come.
One of the most powerful moments was our 'letting go' ceremony.
Each woman wrote down something she wanted to leave behind. Self-judgement. Fear. The pressure to be everything to everyone. Saying yes when we really want to say no.
One by one, those words were placed into water, where the paper slowly dissolved. A beautiful reminder that sometimes moving forward means giving ourselves permission to let go. 💜
At the beginning of our programme, we asked each woman to describe how she was feeling. On our final evening, we revisited those words.
And what a difference 12 weeks has made!
✨ Inspired
✨ Motivated
✨ Thankful
✨ Supported
✨ Proud
✨ Hopeful
✨ Positive about the future
✨ Knowledgeable
These are the words our women are leaving us with.
Midlife Matters has never just been about menopause, health and wellbeing. It's about creating a safe space where women feel heard, understood, supported and empowered to put themselves first.
To every woman who joined us, thank you for your honesty, laughter, kindness and for supporting one another throughout this journey.
You arrived as individuals, but you leave as part of something really special.
A huge thank you to The Funky Wee Teapot - montrose and everyone who helped make our last evening possible.
Our 12 weeks may be over, but we hope this is just the beginning of what comes next.
