BROKEN BRITAIN! I am sure I am not the only one to have noticed that good old Blighty seems to be a massive shambles of late. Just when we thought we were emerging from the pandemic, so did our blessed country decide to practically fall apart at the seams – otherwise known as broken Britain.

So when we are met with despair and dysfunction practically everywhere we turn, how can we effectively take it on the chin and not let the shambolic state of our country get to us?

We tapped Marisa Peer, world-renowned therapist and best-selling author who shared her insights and tips with us here:

HANDS UP IF YOU'RE FEELING THE HORMONES!??

The advent of peri-menopause seems to come at the hardest time of our lives – often as we’re navigating children getting older but somehow needing us more. It’s a time when some of us are thinking of running our own business and then BANG here comes the brain fog, the anxiety, the overwhelm and all of the rage.

So what can we do about it?

Well, we can try and rock in a corner, but then someone will probably ask us what’s for tea or whether we can give them a lift to their mates around the corner…

So we have no choice but to crack on and just push forward, even if we’re feeling perimenopausal, right?

Some brilliant tips from mindset coach Sarah Knight, founder of Mind The Gap Business Academy here:

THE DAY I SIGNED AWAY MY FALLOPIAN TUBES: I will forever remember Thursday 5th May 2022, the local elections..and the day that I signed the consent form for removing my fallopian tubes to prevent ovarian cancer. The day I effectively signed my fallopian tubes away to reduce my inherited risk of developing ovarian cancer.

After almost a year of fact finding, a rollercoaster of emotions and weighing up the best next step forward in light of my BRCA1 gene mutation diagnosis, I have finally taken the first step towards my cancer risk reduction.

Please read and share the latest installment of my cancer risk-reducing journey and help raise awareness/help others who may be facing similar difficult decisions:

Does happiness feel elusive? Is happiness in your 40s possible? The answer for almost all of us is yes – at least sometimes, maybe often. You might feel like you’ve checked all the boxes but aren’t as happy as you’d hoped, you might wonder how anyone can be happy in the face of difficulty or you might feel like happiness is complicated. You might even wonder whether being happy is really all that important.

Over on 40 Now What we're sharing four ways - from lawyer turned Happiness Coach, Becky Morrison - you can look at happiness in your 40s that might be a little bit different than what you were taught.

Did you know that over the last couple of years there has been a 44 percent fall in the number of women screened for breast cancer nationally?

As someone who is at high risk of developing cancer I can not tell you how important having you routine mammogram is. So whether you are over 50 and due your routine test, or under 50 and have been identified as high risk please do not put this off.

If you have never had a mammogram before and not sure what to expect we have teamed up with King Edward VII's Hospital London and their Superintendent Mammographer to tell you exactly what to expect.

A mammogram is the best way to empower yourself with the knowledge you need about any risk factors, warning signs and potential treatment. If you feel you may be at risk you can speak to your doctor for a risk assessment.
