About Me

Let’s be clear, I am NOT a therapist!

When the idea for this site came about, I was in the throws of Menopause and Burnout and really struggling.

I was also desperately trying to define a new career for myself, as my illness was making my existing job untenable for me.

I’m pleased to say that I’m on the road to recovery. And I have that new job (still in IT).

So, now I want to share my story in the hope it would prove beneficial to others.

At 50 years old, I have 24 years experience of supporting people. Both in IT Support and in supporting charities.

During those years, coffee breaks were rare, but always had one thing in common.

In my desperate attempt to prove that not all IT people are ‘dorks’, I spent my time chatting, but more commonly listening and commiserating, about alls kinds of topics.

And so if these pages look like an eclectic mix of topics, it is because, conversations are an eclectic mix of subjects.

I hope that during your cuppa, you find something of interest here.
