Health & Happiness in Mid-life - No diets Required!

By Claire L Moore.

Why We LOVE This Book at Menopause Movement

Claire Moore is a women’s wellness coach, personal trainer, and Menopause Movement trained specialist coach.

She understands perimenopause! She gets the wobbles (literally and metaphorically), the mood swings, the why-do-my-jeans-hate-me moments, and the fear of being the sweatiest person in a fitness class. But most importantly, she validates that the struggle is real, while giving women the tools — and confidence — to feel strong, soft, and unapologetically themselves again.

This is not another "fix-yourself" wellness book. It's the kind of read that makes you laugh-snort on one page and feel deeply seen on the next. No diets, no shame, and absolutely no need to "bounce back."

Menopause Symptoms? Complex, Real & Often Ignored

Health and fitness professionals, take note:
Claire highlights how menopause symptoms like self-consciousness, self-doubt, and low self-esteem create invisible walls that can stop women from moving their bodies. And those walls are high.

👉 Self-consciousness can keep women from even stepping foot into a gym, worried they’ll stick out like a sore sweatband.

👉 Self-doubt creeps in with thoughts like: “What if I can’t do it?” or “It’s too late for me.”

👉 Low self-esteem? That’s the silent thief of motivation, zapping confidence and making women feel invisible in their own skin.

Claire doesn’t pretend to have all the answers. But she gives women permission to wobble, rest, and try anyway — one laugh, boundary, and walk around the block at a time.

What You'll Find Inside It’s OK to Wobble

Whether you’re a midlife woman or a coach supporting one (or fifty), this book is your go-to for insight, empathy, and practical advice. Here's a sneak peek at the wobble wisdom inside:

  • 💥 The truth about hormones (yes, standing now comes with sound effects)
  • 🚫 How to feel at home in your body — without dieting, shaming, or punishment
  • 🧘 Small-but-mighty mindset shifts to rebuild confidence and calm
  • 🛏️ Permission to nap. Celebrate stretch marks. Say no. Be messy.
  • 😂 Honest stories and belly laughs — because if you don’t laugh, you’ll cry... or sweat. Or both.
  • 🙌 Encouragement to stop apologising, start showing up, and feel like you again

Why Health & Fitness Pros Should Read It Too

If you're a coach, trainer or therapist working with menopausal clients, this book is pure gold. Claire speaks the language your clients are silently screaming for — one of compassion, humour, realism, and strength.

You’ll gain better insight into:

  • What’s really going on behind those cancelled sessions
  • How to support without shame or “fixing”
  • How to communicate in a way that empowers and uplifts

This is a perfect companion to our Menopause Movement training course. It deepens your understanding and offers practical takeaways you can weave into your client support immediately.

Final Thoughts: Midlife Isn’t a Crisis — It’s a Comeback

Claire Moore reminds us that midlife doesn’t need fixing. It just needs acknowledging. And sometimes a hug, a laugh, or a really good lie down.

It’s OK to Wobble is a rally cry for every woman juggling work, life, hormones, and an overflowing to-do list who’s secretly wondering, “Is it just me?” Spoiler alert: It’s not.

This book is your reminder — and your clients' reminder — that they are not broken. Not behind. And most definitely not alone.
