From corporate life and a café to pet portraits and menopause coaching, Andrea Clare rebuilt on her own terms. This is a practical, human conversation about career change, creativity, and midlife support.
In this week’s episode, I sit down with Andrea Clare - The Creative Pause Coach - who spent 20 years in the corporate world, raised a family, owned a café, and then rediscovered art at 57.
After a difficult perimenopause, she blended creativity with evidence-based menopause knowledge to help women thrive through her programme “Eat Sleep Pause Create,” and she’s created the Scottish ‘Pause Summit—a holistic wellness day in Glasgow City Centre on Saturday 25 October featuring experts and workshops.
You’ll hear honest lessons on reinvention, how creative practice builds resilience in midlife, and what real business support looks like when you’re changing direction. Expect practical guidance on peri/meno/post-menopause, simple routines that boost confidence and energy, and actionable steps for designing your own exit plan.
