WIN A LIMITED EDITION OTO x BELLA FREUD FAN Thes WIN A LIMITED EDITION 
OTO x BELLA FREUD FAN
These limited edition hand held fans from luxury CBD brand OTO, have been created in collaboration with iconic British designer Bella Freud, to cool down a hot flush - and do it in style. 
Anything by @bella_freud gets a tick from us, so we’re thrilled to see her bring her design edge all things menopause. A hot flush, but make it fashion! 
The three designs - Hot, Flash and Mood - all feature Bella’s iconic handwritten font, and are £29 each from @oto_wellbeing, or as part of a bundle if you buy an OTO product (Team Hylda swears by the Sleep Drops).
We’ve got one of each fan design to give away. For your chance to win:
✔️Follow @wearehylda and @oto_wellbeing. 
✔️Like this picture.
✔️Tell us in the comments how your menopause mood is today. Each comment counts as an entry. The more comments you make, the more chances to win.
Good luck everyone. 
Ts&Cs: Giveaway closes at midnight on Friday Oct 28. The three winners will be picked at random and contacted by @wearehylda via DM. This competition is in no way endorsed, associated or sponsored by Instagram.
How much of your identity is bound up in your job? How much of your identity is bound up in your job? 
“Work has been my world, my identity and my life for more than three decades… I have allowed my career to define me.” So wrote magazine editor @mariannejonesuk in last weekend’s @thetimes, on the midlife career burn out that almost proved fatal. (If you haven’t yet read her powerful piece, we’ll repost the link in Stories.)
It’s a theme picked up in one of our favourite IG Lives of recent times, with the brilliant @jo_elvin. 
“I had my identity entrenched in that job for so long,” Jo tells Juliet, of her time as editor in chief of Glamour magazine. “I genuinely didn’t know how to see myself in any other way.”
Jo’s life lesson - and it’s one we wish we’d learnt decades ago - is not to define yourself by your job and not to be scared to walk away. We know that now, but it’s taken us until now to realise it. 
Thank you to Marianne and Jo for your honesty: it helps the rest of us to learn and to navigate midlife.

Dear Diet Gods, at some point in our grown up live Dear Diet Gods, at some point in our grown up lives we’d like to stop giving a f*** about our menopause bellies. Thank you. 
Back in the real world, we’d be fibbing if we said that the extra inches around our middle didn’t get us down. So for anyone who would like to shift a few lbs, here are a few things we know to be true:
🥑We need to give ourselves a break. There’s enough going on in midlife without a little bit of extra weight adding to the stress. Your body has got you this far, give it a bit of love.
🥗HRT does not cause weight gain. Fact.
🥚Less alcohol will help with weight loss, and is a good idea anyway at this time of life.
🥕Avoid food fads and processed foods. Step away from the celery juice…
🏋️Get moving - you’ll feel better in your body, which will lift your mood, which will make you more likely to make healthy food choices.
🍲Follow menopause nutritionist and friend of Hylda @emma.bardwell for delicious recipes and brilliant nutrition tips.

Tomorrow is World Menopause Awareness Day, so we’re dedicating this week to some of the best advice we’ve had from the health and wellbeing experts we know. 
First up, our medical advisor @drstephaniegoodwin on how long symptoms last, and how long to stay on HRT for. 
Remember, there’s a lot of nonsense out there when it comes to menopause and HRT advice. Only listen to the experts (not the tabloid newspaper headline writers!). 
Thanks for keeping us all so brilliantly well-informed, Dr Steph.

As we head into the week of World Menopause Awaren As we head into the week of World Menopause Awareness Day on Tuesday, we salute one of the original Meno Warriors and taboo-topplers, Meg Mathews. 
From 90s rock chick to women’s health crusader, @megmathewsofficial_ was one of the very first women in the public eye to speak openly about her menopause challenges. Her courage and honesty helped pave the way for the rest of us.
May we all have Meg’s ballsy and fearless attitude to life - and may we all hang out with a Chanel surfboard in our living room. #interiorsgoals.
Thank you for everything, Meg, you inspire us.
