Before starting Menopause Chicks, the words “menopause” and “hormones” sounded like swear words to me; always spoken in a negative context.
Was it the same for you?
How often did you hear “oh, she’s so hormonal,” or that “menopause sucks?”
“Symptoms-this. Suffering-that.” Every time there was a mention of menopause, it conjured up thoughts of: hot, old, tired, moody, miserable and more!
My guess is that if you stepped outside right now and said the word “menopause” to the first person you meet, you would likely receive a similar response.
This negativity alone could be why millions of women are putting off learning about their hormone health…or are just now waking up in their 40s or 50s without a full understanding of which hormone is responsible for what, how hormones work, and some of the common experiences associated with hormone fluctuations as we navigate perimenopause-to-menopause-to- postmenopause.
Wait a minute! We worked hard to get here. This can’t be the beginning of the end.
Let's make it the beginning!
Yes, what if conversations about perimenopause, menopause and postmenopause were reframed to mean someone who is wise, confident, and beautiful?
It is now about period or no period. That’s irrelevant. What matters is that we have our own name at the top of the priority list now—at home, at work and in the community.
Well, I’m happy to say these conversations are beginning to crack open—at least in the MenopauseChicksCommunity.com that’s true!
But there’s still a very large gap between old thinking and new, and it’s going to take a bridge paved with curiosity and quality education in order to close the current divide.
Thank you for being curious about your health.
[You deserve to] FEEL AMAZING.
