MADE OF
Knowledge
Introducing the We Are Made of More Series where we speak to women who have their own story to tell; one of courage, persistence, family, love and loss - words that carry so much strength and emotion but also resonate so poignantly with others too. Inspiring and celebrating others is what makes women made of so much MORE.
Made of More - My Story
Written by Viv Barclay - http://www.mumentous.com/
I woke up one morning in 2015 feeling like I’d been given horse tranquillisers. This was nothing new. Menopause had turned me into feeling like a zombie most mornings since the year before. I made it to the sofa and flopped down in front of BBC Breakfast. I don’t think I’d even made myself a cuppa!
My body was telling me I needed a change.

I was a barrister for 20 years and took on a major career pivot as a result of feeling sick of being sick! I’d had a busy but stressful career, an obsession with endurance sports and a love of margaritas (I never know when to go to bed) but modern life takes its toll. I got sick a lot - chest infections, strep throats and constant bugs - and I managed my health with antibiotics and steroids.
We Are Made of More Series - The Importance of Spinal Health: Our Backbones to Life
Written by Anna Ellis, Head of Brand & Nicola Geismar from The Free Your Spine Method
I met Nicola at a wonderful event full of amazing women back in May and was immediately taken by her beautiful vintage shirt that she was wearing. Like with any first meet, you grab on to a hook to start the conversation, and yes, the shirt was our cue but we quickly moved on when I asked Nicola about her work and learning of her expertise but also experience of intense spinal problems.
