Perimenopause stole my personality - Clare Amos
At 43, Clare’s life didn’t crack, it crumbled. What started as random health issues soon turned into panic attacks, personality changes, and years of feeling like a stranger to herself. She jokes that she could write a book based on her health notes alone… and honestly, she could.
In this raw, funny, and deeply honest episode, Clare opens up about the seven-year stretch where she lost her sense of self, her joy, and her confidence, only to slowly find a new way forward using pen, paper, and permission (from/to herself)
Clare Amos is the founder of Pen and Paper Girl, a bespoke business support service helping female entrepreneurs stay focused on what matters most. With over 30 years’ experience in corporate banking and hospitality, she brings energy, organisation, and plenty of life experience to the table.

Little love notes from midlife. Sometimes funny, sometimes heartfelt, always honest.
Think less “inspirational quotes” and more “Oh thank God it’s not just me.”
Clare opens up about navigating the messy middle, surviving seven years of perimenopause confusion, and carving a life that truly works for her.
