We're In This Together

Today, our name changes from MPowered Women to Hyl Today, our name changes from MPowered Women to Hylda. Here’s why…
When we launched MPowered Women in 2019, not many people were talking about menopause. There were brilliant early advocates like @megmathewsofficial_, Katie Taylor at @loungethelatte, health educator @samtalkssex, the indomitable @dianedanzebrink and of course, the legend who is @menopause_doctor, but the taboos still kept a lot of women in the dark. 
Women needed information and inspiration to power through the hormonal ups and downs of these years. Working with experts like Dr Newson and our medical advisor @drstephaniegoodwin, we launched MPowered Women to provide evidence-based menopause advice.
Three years on, we know that midlife needs are broader than ‘just’ solving the menopause issue. It’s a time that triggers a new set of questions and opportunities in women’s lives. We’ve been doing a lot more than focusing on menopause for a while, and finding a new name was a logical extension of our overall vision to help women take the brakes off midlife.
We’re launching Hylda as a beauty and wellness platform for midlife women. The menopause expertise that you all love remains, and we are building on it with beauty and wellbeing information using the same principles as we applied to menopause - expert advice  and stories from other inspiring women.
So why the name Hylda?
In Danish mythology, the Hylde Moer is the Elder Mother, a protective spirit living in the Elder tree – she’s a wise woman.
In Germanic and Old Norse mythology, Hilde is a battle woman and a comrade in arms — she’s a woman’s woman.
In Medieval English, St Hilda is a 7th Century Abbess, patroness of learning and culture — she’s an empathetic woman.
Meet Hylda. Strong. Always on the side of women. Ambitious for her next act and the perfect woman to have a glass of wine with.
We’ve got a lot planned for Hylda and all the Hylda women around the world. Please check out Hyldalife.com and tell us what you think.

Today, some holiday HRT advice from our medical advisor @drstephaniegoodwin.
☀️Firstly, if you’re heading on holiday soon and need your HRT prescription renewed, don’t leave it to the last minute. Dr Steph is seeing HRT shortages creeping back in so your usual prescription may not be available. So get to the pharmacy with plenty of time to spare before you travel. 
☀️If you’re heading to Spain, HRT is available to buy over the counter, so stock up if you are already an HRT-user, Dr Steph.

We try and plan our lives carefully, but then some We try and plan our lives carefully, but then somewhere out of nowhere comes a desire to change something big in our lives. This morning’s midlife reset pro tip comes from Writer, Broadcaster and Editor @jo_elvin who decided over the Christmas break that she needed a change - even if she wasn’t sure what it was. Her tip? If you feel like you need to do something different but can’t quite put your finger on it - meet up with one person a week for lunch or a coffee. They might just give you ideas of what to do next. It doesn’t have to be someone in your industry, it doesn’t have to end in a tangible result, but it will help you think differently about things. And that is what a midlife reset is all about.

Anxiety is the “secret symptom” of perimenopau Anxiety is the “secret symptom” of perimenopause and menopause - many of us don’t realise it’s caused by our hormones, and some GPs don’t help by prescribing antidepressants to women who may not need them.
If you’re suffering, you are not alone. Our medical advisor @drstephaniegoodwin recommends HRT to balance your hormones, as well as lifestyle measures like less alcohol, regular exercise and meditation.

There’s a popular hashtag on Instagram called #m There’s a popular hashtag on Instagram called #mondaymotivation. And today, with 38° C on the way in London where Saska and I are based,  w`i thought a little motivation might come in useful. 
We talk to a lot of amazing women here, and this morning’s point of view comes from @liz_maccuish , co-founder of @goodcultureinc , who some of you may remember as Liz Matthews. She did an amazing IG Live with us just over  a year ago.
We talked about a lot of different issues that day, but two points really stood out for me  from that conversation: 
She believes that strength is the ability to be vulnerable and show vulnerability. Not an easy thing to do, when you are probably juggling job, family life, the world melting around us and everyone expects you to be the strong one. But worth remembering
Her reminder that is precious, and that the older she gets, the little things become the big things - her reference point was about appreciating a piping hot cup of tea, but I’m swapping that for an early morning walk today.
