Menopause & Me: Read the Room

Menopause & Me is setting up camp in the gorgeous Bridge Street Books.

This is an in-person support group for people experiencing menopause who want honest conversation, real support, and a space where nobody looks at you blankly when you say your brain has gone missing, your sleep has packed a bag, or your inner dragon is doing laps.

Menopause can affect everything — mood, sleep, confidence, relationships, work, energy, and the ability to walk into a room and remember why the flaming hell you’re there. You’re not imagining it, and you do not have to figure it out alone.

Menopause & Me is a relaxed, welcoming group where we talk openly and without shame. No judgement. No pressure. No miracle cures. Just evidence-informed, human, practical support — and a room full of people who get it.

Come along if you want to:

• Connect with others going through similar experiences
• Talk honestly about symptoms, emotions, identity, relationships, work, and wellbeing
• Feel listened to, understood, and taken seriously
• Pick up practical tips, signposting, and encouragement
• Have a brew, a breather, and a bloody good reminder that you’re not alone

This is peer support, not medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. We’ll always encourage you to speak to a qualified healthcare professional where needed — but we’ll also help you feel more confident asking questions, exploring options, and advocating for yourself.

Come as you are — tired, wired, sweaty, teary, raging, curious, confused, or all of the above before breakfast.

Kettle’s on. Standards high. You’re safe here.
