Arriving back to midwinter in it’s full glory was a challenge. Love it or hate it, the weather can have a powerful impact on our moods and behaviour. If you’re struggling physically or emotionally at this time of year, these seasonal remedies, reflections and research can make things easier.

While researching my recent series on menopause, I was struck by the scarcity of positive stories on the subject.

If you find these articles useful, please feel free to share them.
