Overwhelmed, Overtired, Over It?

Monday 16 November to Monday 14 December. Private Telegram group, weekly workbook and 3 live evening Zooms.
Join NowYou're running on empty, and December hasn't even started
Midlife, a full plate and the holiday rush is a heavy combination to carry alone.
The to-do list keeps growing
and somehow it's all ended up yours.
You're completely exhausted
yet you still find yourself lying awake at 3am.
A constant hum of worry
about money, family, and somehow getting it all done.
You snap at the people you love
and then feel terrible about it five minutes later.
Looking forward to Christmas
and quietly dreading the exhaustion and pressure at the same time.
“If that’s you, nothing is wrong with you. Midlife, a full life and the silly season is a lot to carry, and your body and mind are telling you so. You don’t need to do December perfectly. You need a little more support.”
Four weeks of small, practical steps
It's four weeks of small, practical steps to help you feel steadier before Christmas arrives. There's no big overhaul and no extra pressure. Each week has one theme, one small practice and a community of women who understand.
By the end, you'll have your own Christmas plan, ready for the hot spots.
Show up when you can, take what helps, and leave the rest
Five simple ways the program supports you throughout the 4 weeks, with zero guilt or homework.
Every Monday
A short theme post in our private Telegram group, with one small practice you can do in a few minutes.
Midweek
A prompt or check-in so you're never doing this alone.
Weekly workbook
One section at a time, so you can work through it at your own pace.
Habit tracker
A simple one-page tracker with 3 or 4 small habits, designed so it never becomes another thing to feel behind on.
Replays
Everything is recorded, because December gets in the way.

Who This Is For

- -are a woman in midlife who is juggling work, family and everything in between

Who This Is Not For
This program is general education and support. It is not a substitute for medical or mental health care. If you're struggling with your health, please speak with your doctor.
Go deeper in January
If you'd like to go deeper, anyone who joins The Calm Before Christmas can book my 10 day reset in January at the alumni price of $125 (bookings by Christmas Eve, with a start date that suits you). The reset is one-on-one: three calls and a week of daily voice notes and check-ins with me, focusing on what's going on with your hormones and how they affect your body and mind. There's no pressure at all, and it's only an option if you'd like it.
Explore the 10-Day Reset
I'm Nikki McCuish, a Menopause and Wellbeing Educator, Coach and Speaker. I'm a qualified Menopause Coaching Specialist, Personal Trainer and Nutrition Coach, and over the past year I've coached more than 20 women through my 10 day reset and 1:1 programs.
I do this work because women need help understanding what's happening to them, and they need simple tools to feel better and more in control. You don't need a list of a million things to do at once. Small, simple changes can make a big difference, and that's the thinking behind The Calm Before Christmas.
Read more about meA few questions
What if I can't make the live Zooms?
No problem. Every Zoom is recorded and sent to you the morning after.
How much time will this take?
A few minutes a day. The Monday practices are small by design, and the workbook is released one section at a time.
When does it start and finish?
Monday 16 November to Monday 14 December, so you finish with a plan for Christmas, not in the middle of it.
What is Telegram, and do I need it?
It's a free messaging app, and it's where our private group lives. Once you've signed up, I'll send you the invite link and a short how-to.
What's the difference between Community and VIP?
Both include the group, workbook, habit tracker and replays. VIP adds the three live Zooms, a VIP-only hot seat, a personal voice note from me and two extra bonus audios.
Can I upgrade from Community to VIP?
You can upgrade to VIP for $40 before November 14.
You don't have to do December perfectly
You just need a little more calm in it.
