We are in a time where we are uprooting old-as-time misconceptions, misrepresentations, biases, and injustices toward women and, as heavy as it is, the conversation is needed.

Menopause is a transition in fertility and a natural phase, as menses was when we were teens - and yet there is such a social stigma around it. A period of a woman’s life that, in some cultures, is looked at as a right of passage, evidence of her wisdom - in much of western culture is looked at as a sort of end of femininity, the symptoms of which should be masked by medications.

There is so much more of your amazing life to be lived and so much to offer this world and your community.
