Menopause and Mind - Exploring Your Early Life and It’s Impact On Your Menopause with Sally Garozzo

Menopause isn’t just about hormones, it’s about our histories. In this two-hour workshop, you’ll be invited to explore how early life messages might have shaped your hormone sensitivity and your midlife experience. We’ll journey through three phases together: the past (where your patterns began), the present (how they show up in menopause today), and the future (what your wise, authentic self wants for you).

Through full group sharing, reflective journaling, and gentle prompts, you’ll gain clarity on why menopause can feel like such an unravelling, and how to meet it with more compassion, understanding, and power. This isn’t a space for fixing or advising, but for witnessing and validating the richness of your personal journey. You’ll leave with fresh insights and practical ways to honour what’s rising in you now.

Come join us in this safe, nurturing space, where you’re not alone and your voice matters!

This workshop is run by Sally Garozzo of the long running Menopause Mindset Podcast a place get some answers and to feel supported along this often bumpy journey. You can learn more about the other wonderful theraputic work she does, and her journey, on her website!

About Menopause and Mind

Menopause and Mind focus on raising awareness of the impact of menopause on mental health, and provide support for people experiencing menopause-related mental health struggles. Our focus is on well-being, transformation and connection. We explore creative approaches to mental well-being and practices of collective care. In this workshop, we will work with collage to explore share, and connect with others about our feelings around menopause and the climacteric. Our spaces are intergenerational so if you are menopause-curious or not sure if you have started peri-menopause yet you are still welcome to join us, to learn and share.

Accessibility: The session will be held at the Justlife Hub on London Road. The Justlife Hub venue is fully accessible. The events space is situated on the ground floor of the building; if requested, a ramp is available, and bi-fold doors can be opened. There is a fully accessible, all-gender toilet on the ground floor where the event will be taking place.

We aim to make our sessions accessible but recognise that everyone has different needs. If you have any questions or would like to discuss access needs of any kind, please contact us at menoandmind@gmail.com and we will get back to you, we are happy to arrange a phone conversation if necessary.

Inclusivity: We recognise that the mainstream narrative of menopause does not include everyone and discriminates and excludes many marginalised voices, including (not exhaustively) LGBTQIA+, trans voices, minority ethnic voices and neuro and physical diverse groups. We also recognise the negative impact that adverse childhood experiences have during menopause and that menopause happens at many ages, and impacts on those experiencing POI (Premature Ovarian Insufficiency) and surgical menopause can be particularly challenging. There is a lack of information of the impact of other conditions, such as endometriosis, on menopause due to a lack of high-quality research. Menopause and Mind embrace menodiversity and welcome any person experiencing menopausal symptoms from any background. We are open to feedback to improve our sessions, and to ensure that we are using inclusive language and approaches.

We support the aims of the Menopause Inclusion Collective and are a trans-positive organisation.
