The little booklet that started it all!

In 2017, I watched two friends struggle with their transitions to menopause and realized that I didn’t know much about this physiological shift in my not-so-distant future. This imperfect guide was how I devised to learn and share the basics with anyone feeling anxious or uncertain about the path ahead.

A personal life experience of over half the world's population and a life stage that impacts every person on the planet (female AND male), menopause today is still a mystery to most all who have not yet directly encountered it. Menopause is a natural physiological process, not a curse (neither are periods, for the record) or an illness. It is also something that no one should have to endure in silence.

This guide covers foundational information in a digestible way–like you'd hear it from a funny, wise older sister or friend instead of a capital "E" expert. Whether you are on the precipice of menopause, have years to go before you begin, or have someone in your life experiencing menopause whom you'd like to support, this guide could help.
