Menopause Wingman Ireland AM: Michelle A. Hardwick

We have a confession and we have to share it!

This Thursday 2nd July at 8.15am, John and I will be live on Ireland AM, Virgin Media talking about my newly published book, Menopause Wingman
a practical handbook for men and partners in understanding and supporting the woman they love through menopause.

A Cobh man and a Welsh/Irish woman, live on national television.
We genuinely still can’t quite believe it.

Where It All Started

If you’ve been following this journey, you’ll know Menopause Wingman didn’t start as a plan or a business idea.

It started with one Zoom call and sixteen words from a stranger. A moment that planted the seed for everything that’s followed.
From that single conversation to a finished, published book, to a foreword from Loretta Dignam, to features in the Irish Examiner,
EchoLive, the Rhyl Journal and beyond and now, breakfast TV!

It still feels surreal to write that sentence.

Why This Matters

Menopause Wingman exists because there was a gap. Plenty of support exists for women going through menopause –
but very little for the men standing beside them, trying to work out how to help without making things worse.
This book is straight-talking, warm-hearted and full of real voices from men who’ve been exactly where you are.

If you’re a partner who’s ever thought “I don’t know what to do here” – this is for you.

More Support

Curious about more support beyond the book?
The Wingman Circle: a new weekly group for men, launches in September. We have two new online groups starting in September and
an in-person gathering too – click here for more details!

Tune In Thursday

📺 Ireland AM, Virgin Media Television
📅 Thursday 2nd July
⏰ 8.15am

If you can, please tune in and if you know anyone who might benefit from hearing this conversation,
please share it with them. That’s exactly what this whole journey has been about:
one person passing something on to another.

To our wonderful Cobh friends, family and extended family, thank you for following along, for your support
and for setting your alarms a little early this Thursday!

With love and a few nerves,
Michelle & John 💚

The Gathering – A Monthly Wellness Circle in Co Cork

If you’re looking for a wellness circle in Co Cork, you’ll know there’s something that happens when women come together in person…
something that a Zoom call, however wonderful, simply cannot replicate.

A quality of presence. Of being truly seen. Of sitting in a room with other women and perhaps for the first time in a long time, feeling that you can exhale.

That’s what The Gathering is for.

Introducing The Gathering

Starting September 2026, once a month I’ll be bringing together a small wellness circle in Cobh, Co Cork for time that is entirely yours.

There’s no agenda here, no pressure and no need to perform – just a safe space to simply be.

Just women, nature, tea and the kind of honest conversation that leaves you feeling lighter than when you arrived.

What Each Gathering Includes

Every month is different – shaped by the season, the group and what’s alive for people that day – as well as
dynamic. Each gathering will always weave together:

• Time in nature – we begin outside. A gentle walk, a moment to breathe, to feel the ground beneath
  your feet and remember that you’re part of something much bigger than your to-do list
• Open sharing and group discussion – warm, confidential and completely judgement-free
• Guided meditation – deep, nourishing and tailored to the group
• EFT Tapping – for emotional release, inner calm and self-healing
• Tea and connection – because some of the most important conversations happen over a cup of tea
• Opportunities for inner work – gentle, guided and always at your own pace

Why In Person Matters

Of course, we live so much of our lives online now… And while online connection is wonderful – and I offer plenty of it –
there is something irreplaceable about being in the same physical space as other women.

Your nervous system knows the difference and so does your body.
After being at The Gathering, you will know the difference too.

Is This Wellness Circle in Co Cork Right for You?

The Gathering is for you if:

• You’re navigating menopause and want real, embodied support
• Living in or able to travel to Cobh Co Cork
• Craving genuine connection with women who understand
• Looking for tools for emotional and energetic stability that you can feel in your body
• Ready to make yourself a priority, even just once a month
• You’ve been meaning to do something just for yourself for ages and keep putting it off

So make a change. Don’t wait. This is your time for change.

📍 In person – Cobh, Co Cork, Ireland
📆 Launching September 2026

Menopause Support for Husbands/Partners: The Wingman Circle

If you’re looking for menopause support for husbands/partners, you’re probably exhausted in a different way than she is …
watching someone you love struggle and not knowing how to help.

You love her. You can see she’s struggling. But lately nothing you do seems to help. You’re not sure whether to say something, stay quiet,
give her space or just be there. Nobody gave you a manual for this.

Until now.

Introducing The Wingman Circle

Starting September 2026, I’m launching a brand new weekly online group offering menopause support for husbands and partners.
It might just change everything.

The Wingman Circle is a small, straight-talking, completely judgement-free online community where men come together
every week to understand what’s actually happening, share what’s going on for them and figure out how to show up in a way that actually helps.

This isn’t therapy. It’s not a support group in the traditional sense. It’s a conversation between men who are
all navigating the same thing with guidance from someone who has spent 25 years in this field and recently
wrote the book on it. Literally.

What We’ll Cover Each Week

Every session is different because every relationship is different. Together we’ll explore:

• What’s actually happening to her and why her experience makes complete sense
• How to communicate when everything feels charged and nothing lands right
• Looking after yourself – because you can’t pour from an empty cup
• Mindfulness and breathing tools: simple, practical techniques any man can use
• EFT Tapping: don’t knock it until you’ve tried it. It works.
• Intimacy – how it changes during menopause and how to navigate it with care
• When to get help and how to suggest it without it becoming a row

Is This Right for You?

The Wingman Circle is for you if:

• Your partner is going through menopause and you want to understand it better
• You feel shut out, confused or like you’re getting everything wrong
• You want practical tools – not just sympathy
• You’re ready to be part of the solution rather than part of the problem
• You’ve read Menopause Wingman and want to go deeper with a community of men in the same boat

It’s also for you if you just have a feeling that something needs to change.
Trust that feeling.

Practical Details

📅 Weekly – 60 minutes per session
💻 Online via Zoom – from wherever you are in the world
📆 Launching September 2026
👥 Small group – places strictly limited

Don’t Wait

The longer you wait the harder it gets.
September is closer than you think and the version of you who signed up will be so glad he did.

👉 Register Your Interest Here
Places are limited and early bird pricing is available for those who sign up first.

book a free 30-minute call with me and let’s talk about whether this is right for you.

The Coherence Circle: A New Weekly Online Group for Women Navigating Menopause

Looking for a menopause support group in Ireland?
You wake up at 3am and your mind won’t stop. You snap at the people you love and then feel terrible about it.

You look in the mirror and wonder where you went. You’ve been holding everything together for so long that nobody, including you,
noticed how close to the edge you were getting.

Menopause doesn’t just change your body. It changes everything. And yet so many women are navigating it alone, in silence, pretending they’re fine.

You don’t have to do that anymore.

Introducing The Coherence Circle: A New Menopause Support Group

If you’re searching for a menopause support group in Ireland, you’ve probably been managing everything brilliantly for years
and now something has shifted. Starting September 2026, I’m launching The Coherence Circle, a brand new weekly online group
for women navigating menopause. I’d love you to be part of it.

This is a small, intimate group of women who are done pretending everything is fine and ready to actually feel better.
Each week for 90 minutes we’ll come together online to explore what’s happening, work with powerful tools and
support each other through one of life’s most significant transitions.

This isn’t a lecture. It’s not a course you’ll fall behind on. It’s a conversation: warm, honest and completely confidential
in a community of women who get it because they’re living it too.

What We’ll Work With Each Week

Every session is different because every week brings something new. Together we’ll draw on:

• Menopause education: understanding what’s actually happening in your body and why it makes sense
• Mindfulness and meditation: practical tools to calm the nervous system and find your ground
• EFT Tapping: a powerful technique for emotional release and inner calm that you can use anywhere, anytime
• Self-care that goes deeper: not bubble baths, but real nourishment for your mind, body and spirit
• Shared experience: because sometimes just knowing you’re not alone changes everything
• Inner work and self-healing: gentle, guided opportunities to go deeper when you’re ready

Is This Menopause Support Group Right for You?

The Coherence Circle is for you if:

• You’re in perimenopause, menopause or post-menopause and struggling
• You feel like you’ve lost yourself and want to find your way back
• You crave real connection with women who truly understand
• You’re ready to make yourself a priority: even just for 90 minutes a week

It’s also for you if you’re not sure any of the above applies but something told you to keep reading.
Trust that.

📅 Weekly: 90 minutes per session
