What Weโre Seeing So Far: Early Results from the Midlife Reframe
Apr 24, 2026
This is our first FLUXX newsletter, shared here for anyone who finds it useful beyond our mailing list. It includes early participant reflections, what goes into building an evidence-based programme, and new resources on change and perimenopause.
What people are saying about the Midlife Reframe
Our first live cohorts are underway. Here's what participants are saying.
Participants who completed the Fluxx Midlife Pulse before and after the programme are showing positive movement across all five pillars of midlife wellbeing (aggregated results below).
That matters to us because we built this programme to create real shifts, not just momentary inspiration.
One participant described the experience as:
“It’s like strength training, but for your identity.” — Audrey J
Another said:
“This course is bite-sized - small enough to dive in - but super-charged with distilled understanding and empathy. The mix of facing reality and positive forward movement is balanced just right. I could take a deep breath when doing this course - it gave me insight and space to explore.” — Nadya C

Participants have also spoken about:
- feeling less alone in the experience
- understanding their emotions differently
- gaining language for what’s happening
- reconnecting with what matters now
- feeling more hopeful about what comes next
New dates are now open for May
If someone in your life is navigating perimenopause, identity shifts, brain fog, changing confidence, or that feeling that something has changed but I can’t name it - feel free to share this with them.
What goes into building a programme like this
The Midlife Reframe started with questions:
→ What are women actually experiencing in midlife?
→ What does the research say - not just about symptoms, but about identity, cognition, emotion, meaning and change?
→ What happens when you place evidence-informed ideas in front of real women and ask them to engage honestly?
→ What do busy adults need in order to genuinely shift, rather than simply consume information?
Before this programme ever went to market, it moved through two development phases:
- an early strawman phase to test the concept
- a full prototype with participants completing pre/post measures and written feedback
Their responses shaped the structure, language, activities and pacing of what exists now.
That's what evidence-based means to us: building from the ground up using what research suggests works, then testing it with real people in real lives.
Two new reads
Why change feels harder before it gets easier
There's a reason the middle of any transition feels like the worst of it, and it's not a sign that something has gone wrong. It's a sign that something is changing. Read →
Why do I feel like I'm losing my mind in perimenopause?
Brain fog, lost words, the sudden inability to finish a thought. These experiences can be unsettling, but they are not evidence of decline. Understanding the mechanism changes the experience. Read →
