Our Community

Menopause is a different experience for everyone who goes through it. We collect and share stories on this taboo and unspoken topic to shed some light on the diverse range of symptoms and emotions. Being vulnerable and sharing stories creates connection. Your story has the potential to inspire, support and provide a sense of belonging to anyone who may be feeling alone during their transition.

We invite your bravery to share your story so that every woman feels connected, supported and empowered to live a strong second act.
