Midlife Moments presents

“Is It Me or Menopause?”

A practical 4 Module Online Course to help you understand how your changing hormones affect mood, memory and emotions. Learn how to soothe mood swings, rebuild confidence and feel at home in your body again throughout perimenopause, menopause and beyond.

For women 38+ who are wondering,

“Is it me?"

It isn’t, and you don’t have to figure it out alone.

“I honestly thought I was losing my mind. This course helped me name what was happening, talk to my family, and feel hopeful again.”

– Anna, 47

If you’re asking yourself, “Why don't I feel like myself?” this is for you.

You don’t have to power through alone or ignore what your body is whispering (or shouting). This course is designed especially for women 38+ who want clarity, calm and confidence through perimenopause, menopause and postmenopause.

Emotional ups & downs

You feel more anxious, snappy, tearful or flat, and you’re not sure why? You want tools to understand and soothe your moods, not just “push through”.

Confidence & body image

Your body, skin, sleep and energy are changing. You’d love a kinder relationship with your body and to feel comfortable in photos, clothes and intimacy again.

Purpose in midlife

You’re rethinking work, relationships or what you want from the next chapter. You’re ready to make space for yourself and design a midlife that actually fits you.

What you’ll walk away with

This isn’t another clinical hormone lecture. “Is It Me or Menopause?” blends education with practical tools for mental health so you can feel informed and emotionally supported. You will find:

Language to talk about what you’re feeling with partners, friends and your GP
Tools to manage anxiety, irritation, low mood and “can’t cope” days
A gentler inner voice and renewed confidence in your changing body
Clarity about what matters to you now—and how you want to show up in midlife
A personalised “Midlife Moments” plan you can revisit whenever life wobbles

Midlife Moments was created to give women the kind of midlife and menopause support we wish we’d had: clear, kind, shame free and actually practical. Dr Mandy Deeks is an experienced educator, researcher and therapist who specialises in women’s wellbeing, mindset and life transitions in midlife.

You’ll be guided through a friendly, no judgement, no pressure to “fix” yourself online course with an opportunity for a live Q & A. The program is gentle, with honest and relatable conversations and tools that meet you where you are.

What women are saying

Names and details changed to protect privacy, warmth and relief very much real.

“I used to wake up dreading the day, wondering why I couldn’t cope like I used to. Understanding my hormones and having words for my moods has been so freeing.”

– Claire, 44

“The body image module made me cry in the best way. I’ve stopped punishing myself for having a ‘midlife body’ and started appreciating what it’s carried me through.”
