Local Southend businesswoman Charlotte Body has turned her personal experience with menopause into a pioneering venture with the launch of Pause Live, the UK’s largest event dedicated to menopause awareness and support. As the founder of PauseLive.com, Charlotte has created a transformative platform for women navigating menopause, offering access to a wealth of resources that are often difficult to find.
Charlotte’s journey began with her own challenging experience of menopause. Faced with debilitating symptoms, she sought solutions through both conventional medicine and alternative methods. However, she quickly realised that many valuable resources for managing menopause were not easily accessible. Motivated by the desire to help other women, Charlotte founded Pause Live to bring these resources together in one place.
“Help is out there but it’s not always easy to find” says Charlotte. “The aim of the show is to bring some of the top experts into one arena, all under one roof. You are in good company with hundreds of other perimenopausal or menopausal women attending. We even have a meet and greet scheme for those who are coming alone. We want to empower women UK wide to find the solutions to their symptoms!”

Pause Live has grown to become the UK’s largest menopause event, featuring over 70 exhibitors and bringing together leading experts in healthcare, nutrition, workplace support, and more. The event provides a comprehensive platform for women to explore a wide array of solutions for symptoms ranging from hot flushes to brain fog. Attendees will have the opportunity to engage with professionals who specialise in menopause-related health and well-being, ensuring they leave with practical knowledge and actionable insights.
Highlights of the show include an educations stage with talks from experts on topics such as relationships, mental health, and Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT). Or if you are looking for some relaxation methods step into the Wellness Hub or Hot Flush Bar with unique themed cocktails.
Charlotte Body’s vision for Pause Live goes beyond simply offering products and services. The event is a vital platform for breaking the silence around menopause, fostering open conversations, and empowering women with the information they need to make informed choices about their health.
“I realised that there was a gap in the resources available to women going through menopause, and I wanted to change that,” says Charlotte. “Pause Live is about creating a community where women can find support, learn from experts, and connect with others who understand what they’re going through.”
