It's time to re-frame menopause.

Second Spring is a new kind of menopause book, bringing the radical notion that with small changes and a clear-eyed look at what's no longer serving you, you can reclaim your vitality and joy in life.

Second Spring offers a new vision for menopause, mapping the psychological phases and showing how this period in your life can be a time of personal growth. Like your slightly sweary best friend, Kate Codrington guides you through managing physical challenges with lifestyle changes and understanding what might be causing them. Whether you choose a natural route, HRT or a combination of both, there's a wealth of self-care practices available here to soothe your symptoms. These include journaling prompts, practical tips and soulful enquiries real-life solutions for managing symptoms with kindness, helping you to become the person you always longed to be.

What we need in challenging times is not shame or pushing through, but to treat ourselves with care and compassion.

In Second Spring, Kate Codrington combines elements of diet, fitness, and mindfulness to create a comprehensive guide to managing menopause. This top self-help book promotes a spiritual approach to health, advocating for meditation and therapy as key tools in navigating this challenging time.
