From that transformation, Radiance was born — first as Lola’s personal journey, and now as a growing movement. Through her book, podcast, and flagship programs, Lola’s mission is to help women reconnect with their bodies, embrace their cyclical nature, and unlock the power that already lives within them, so they can feel radiant, fulfilled, and limitless in every area of their lives.

I am the founder of the award-winning Menopause Vitamin Company and Menopause Support Suffolk and a Menopause Wellness Practitioner. In my 50s, after a long career in hotel events and sales, I faced my own challenging experience of perimenopause. It was overwhelming and isolating, and I realised there was very little support available for women. That experience inspired me to make a change, for myself and for others. I created Vibrancy Blend, a premium UK-made all in one menopause supplement developed with a nutritionist to support women’s overall wellbeing in just two capsules a day. Born from experience, I wanted something premium, backed by science, effective without the confusion, expense, or overwhelm of multiple supplements. To extend my support beyond the supplement, I retrained as a Menopause Wellness Practitioner. I now provide private one-to-one support, workplace wellbeing, events, and guest speaking, helping women understand their bodies, feel confident, and know when to seek medical advice. "So many women say to me, 'I just want to feel like me again.' I tell them, why go back when you can become an even better version of yourself" I have been named as one of the Top 100 UK Female Entrepreneurs for F Entrepreneur and #iAlso, initiatives run by Small Business Britain and highly commended for Innovation at the Suffolk Small Business Awards
