Women are feeling hopeless, often circumventing the health care system, and suffering needlessly. Stigma affects middle-aged women where we work, live, and play and 77% of women agree there should be more support for women in the workplace. It can feel like our old selves are disappearing.
“The Change” we want to see is in the mindset, action, and outcomes around menopause.
Our mission is to educate, empower, and bring women together as we journey through midlife and beyond
There is an enormous knowledge and care gap for women in midlife, at a time when we are in the prime of our lives, with years of wisdom and knowledge to contribute to our communities.
