I coped with kids and a busy career, so why was I suddenly overwhelmed?

I related to this article a little too much. I, too, began to collapse under stress in my mid-40s.

Same! Still in it. Hoping I’ll get into the swing of older-age one of these days.

‘Menopause isn’t really that bad’…said no woman ever.

For those who are approaching or experiencing ‘the change’ (think reverse puberty), a time where hormone levels decline either through the aging process or by medical/surgical means.

Menopause and Perimenopause (the transitional time before Menopause) are unique to every person, and while there’s no one-size fits all, we support each other on this roller coaster ride of wacked out hormones, absurd mood swings and random sweaty hot flashes.

Be kind. Be respectful. We are all in this together!
