Living in one of Europe's most dynamic cities came at a price of challenging inner questioning and evaluation. SueYen began to struggle with her own fears of being judged by society for reaching a certain age, having not married and not having children of her own. While working in the fiercely competitive Yoga world, the younger, more social media driven competition began to affect her psychologically. The stress and anxiety of this triggered and exasperated what she knows now as menopause symptoms! SueYen often found herself questioning but not really understanding the changes that were happening to her body and mind. This conflict drove her denial and she did not recognise or accept that her womanhood was moving into a different phase. Daily life became a challenge as often spontaneous hormonal changes takes place.

​

Fortunately for her, it was during a soul baring conversation with a close friend, that SueYen recognised and began to accept and come to terms with what was happening. She realised and understood that nature has a way of communicating and a time comes in a woman's life when she reaches an age when her internal body clock moves into Autumn. A time to slow and look inwards. The conversation was pivotal for her and she decided that instead of spiralling downwards into despair, she would embrace the changing of the season.
