We have a fantastic guest this week that will make you re-think the way your body behaves in menopause. Jessica Vassallo is an award-winning Master NLP Practitioner and Hypnotherapist, Coach, Mentor, Speaker and Writer. Jessica uses Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Hypnotherapy and Positive Psychology techniques to help people break free from anxiety, trauma, emotional eating and unhealthy habits. Seven years ago, Jessica combined her knowledge of mind fitness with her own experience of emotional eating and created a transformational change program which has helped 100s of her clients improve their lifestyle, and lead healthier and happier lives. Jessica gives us simple techniques we can use to move away from negativity in menopause and to allow us to enjoy a positive menopause story.

In chapter 3 we chat about goal setting and the importance of making those goals achievable. Next week we read chapter 4. In the Foodie our theme is frugal cooking and Lou has cooked a slow cooker Dhal from Riverford Organics, a nutritious and money saving and suitable for a family. A slow cooker is around a 1/5th of the cost to run an electric oven and hob. It also makes you feel you are winning at life if you prep the night before and throw it on the slow cooker on your way out to work:Recipe:Riverford slow cooked Dahlhttps://www.riverford.co.uk/recipes/slow-cooker-dal Did we do the WI?
