Midlife can be a powerful and transformative time — but it’s also full of challenges. Hormonal shifts, changing roles and responsibilities, identity transitions, and workplace pressures can leave many women feeling overwhelmed or unseen.

Pause was created by Susie Bennett and myself to offer support that is honest, useful, and empowering.

It’s for any woman who wants to approach this life stage with curiosity, care, and confidence.

Whether you’re looking for personal support, community, or tools to take into your workplace, Pause offers a variety of ways to meet you where you are.

Pause Together
Join us once a month in Brighton for a relaxed and restorative two-hour group session. 

Held at Afrori Bookshop in Brighton, each session is built around a theme — from nutrition and movement to purpose or emotional wellbeing.

The first hour offers a focused discussion or mini-workshop. The second is a chance to simply be — to pause, connect, and recharge in the company of others who understand what this stage of life can bring. 

It’s informal, uplifting, and designed to give you what you often don’t get enough of: time and space.

Pause to Listen
Coming soon — our new podcast.

Pause to Listen explores the real-life experiences of women navigating midlife. We cover everything from practical strategies to personal stories, bringing warmth, honesty, and insight to a stage of life that’s often ignored or misunderstood.

Expect empowering conversations, expert interviews, and a refreshing dose of humour and hope.

Pause for Support
Midlife can shake your sense of self. Susie offers 1:1 coaching to support your emotional wellbeing through this period of transition.

Whether you’re feeling lost, stuck, or simply ready to do things differently, these sessions offer a safe, grounded space to be heard — and to move forward with resilience and clarity.

Pause to Thrive
I provides individual support focused on physical wellbeing. Using a blend of nutrition, movement, and lifestyle tools, she helps women feel strong and capable through midlife and beyond.

This isn’t about restriction or reinvention — it’s about tuning into what your body really needs and feeling empowered in your skin again.

Pause for Thought
Coming soon — our new newsletter.

Our newsletter — Pause For Thought — lands in your inbox each month. It’s designed to inform, inspire, and gently entertain.

Inside each edition, you’ll find:

• Thoughtful reflections 
• Practical tools and tips 
• Links to great reads, resources, and recommendations 

It’s for women navigating midlife with humour, insight, and heart.

Pause in the Workplace
Midlife doesn’t stop at the office door — and the impact of menopause at work is real.

We offer training and workshops for organisations looking to better support staff through this stage of life. From awareness sessions to leadership guidance, we help create workplaces that are inclusive, respectful, and better equipped to support everyone.

This isn’t just a nice-to-have. It’s about retention, wellbeing, and building a culture that truly values women at every stage of life.
