Welcome to

The .PAUSE Network

A warm, grounded space for midlife women in business

The .PAUSE Network is where self-employed women of a certain age come together to feel seen and understood.

Because work doesn’t feel like it used to, and neither do we!

Why I created The .PAUSE Network

I’m in my early 40s, running my own business, and deep in perimenopause.

I’m knackered. My brain feels fuzzy more days than not. My energy’s unpredictable. And the old way of working pushing through, staying “on it,” pretending I’m still 28 - just isn’t cutting it anymore.

And, I know I’m not the only one feeling this way.

Often, networking / coworking spaces with other women tick most of our boxes, but miss that little something that we need - the shared experience. The real, raw, deep understanding and unwavering compassion.

So, I’m building it - a community where we can continue working on our business, alongside others that actually understand what it’s like to be in this stage of life, when everything (our bodies, our focus, even our sense of self) is shifting.

So this is it - The .PAUSE Network.

Who it’s for?

This is for you if:

  • You’re smack in the middle of perimenopause or menopause (or suspect you might be) and it’s affecting how you work, show up, and feel in yourself

  • You run your own business — maybe you’re a coach, creative, therapist, consultant, freelancer or doing something beautifully hard to define

  • You want honest company, gentle support, practical ideas, and somewhere you can laugh, rant, or share horror stories without judgement

What you’ll get

✿ Monthly in-person gatherings

A spacious day to work alongside each other, chat, share stories, and simply be.
We’ll occasionally have guest experts — sometimes online, sometimes in person — talking about everything from menopause nutrition and nervous system support to soulful marketing and human design.

✿ Weekly online sessions

Up to 4 times a month (that’s 8 hours total), we’ll hop on Zoom for gentle coworking and connection. No pressure to be “on” — just show up exactly as you are.

✿ A growing online hub

As this community evolves, you’ll get access to a private library of resources, recordings and workshops — all designed for our midlife brains, bodies and priorities.

✿ WhatsApp group

For daily check-ins, sharing wobbles, celebrating wins, swapping resources or just admitting you’re lying on the sofa with a hot water bottle again.

  • Yep — it’s a gentle 3-month minimum. That’s just to help us build a stable, trusting community, so it’s not a revolving door of people popping in and out.

  • Of course. If you start with online-only and decide you’d love the in-person days (or vice versa), just let me know and we’ll sort it.

  • Nope. This is for anyone in midlife who’s noticing changes — whether you’re in perimenopause, menopause, or not totally sure yet. If you’re feeling the shifts, this space is for you.

  • It’s a mix of coworking, chatting, sharing stories (and probably laughing at ourselves a fair bit). We’ll have tea, maybe cake, comfy spaces to work or just hang out. Every now and then, there’ll be a guest expert joining us.

  • Only if you want to. There’s no forced sharing here. Some days you might want to chat loads, other days you might just listen in and work quietly — both are totally welcome.

  • I have a few pay-what-you-can concession spots available, so you don’t have to miss out because of money. Just reach out if that feels right for you.
