🩸Menopause Attacks!
|
I know. I'm writing an email a mere day after the last one. This is most un-Orlagh like behaviour, but bear with me, ok? I started getting some menopause-type symptoms a few years ago, but it was bearable. An increase in hair on my face. Spots for a week a month. A bit more tired than normal. But, y'know, dealable with. It was ok. And I was kinda thinking of ways to make this work for me - treating it as puberty again, but this time, paying respect to myself, my body, my spirit, my needs. And I did ok with that. But just over six months ago, things went downhill and went down hill rapidly. 🤯Sweats - night and day type 🤯Increased temperatures, and I run hot anyway, so you can imagine how badly this went 🤯Digestive issues. I've had to cut out carbs completely - which is less than successful given... 🤯... lack of energy. Serious lack of energy. 🤯Brain fog. Like my brain is trudging through honey all the time. 🤯Vaginal dryness - sorry if TMI, but seriously, I thought "reduced lubrication" would be bad. This is like the Sahara!! and leads to... 🤯Reduced libido. To zero. ​ Now look - none of these are life threatening, but are definitely affecting my quality of life. So, I signed up to the Menopause Clinic at my doctor's and I was worried. Cos you hear such horror stories, y'know - people being told they're imagining things, there's nothing really wrong with them, that sort of thing. But it was not the case. For a start, the nurse was a woman I'd worked with years ago in a previous job, so she knew me. And she knew if I was saying something was bad, it was akin to a limb falling off. And she just whipped through the assessment - asking for clarification occasionally, but never questioning what I was experiencing. It was a validating, helpful, supportive experience. About 50mins of outlining what was happening to me, different things that could help, ok - taking bloods, cos as we know, all medical staff are secretly vampires and rarely let you escape with no bloods, and being really clear about what happens next. And I thought, this is what everyone going through menopause should experience. And if I'm honest, this is what everyone going through any sort of health issue should experience. It's how I want people to feel when they leave any interaction with me - validated, helped, supported. So, this email is to offer support to those going through the same thing. There are options out there that will help you. There are people out there that want to help you. Don't give up! BrÃd libh Órlagh P. S. And ok, if you are interested in the Brigid Sessions and want to see just how validating, helpful and supportive I can be, drop me an email and off we go. But that's not for menopause!! For spiritual stuff. Reply to the email and tell me you're interested and I'll let you know about next steps! Check out the links below: ​Brigid's Forge School​ ​Patreon​ ​Website​ |

I mean, I know this is a consequence of getting older, but this is getting old. I had two days off the day job last week and I spent it clearing out my wardrobe. And worse, considered this a valuable use of time off work. What the hell? I have another two days off this week (got time I need to use or lose) and I'm planning on a deep clean of the bathroom and I'm really looking forward to it. Add this to my recent digestive issues, leading to a change in dietary habits, and I'm getting very...
Or leads to people diving away from me. (OK that's enough with the sports stuff!) Part of the reason is that I've been getting a lot of queries about the Brigid Sessions, so I've put together a product page for them. If you'd like to try me out, just click on this link and you can buy the sessions. I'll follow up with sending you a link to book the first session and we'll go from there. $227.00 The Brigid Sessions 🌿 The Brigid Sessions A 3-part coaching program to help you define how you work...
First off, I had a huge response to my email on Friday and I appreciate your concerns. So here are some of the answers to the most asked questions I've been asked: ✅All the courses have download links against the videos, audios and pdf files. If you come across one that doesn't, let me know and I'll figure out why it doesn't. ✅You have at least a month before the school changes over. ✅I will be enrolling you in the new platform so you won't lose anything long term. But I know how annoying it...
