ABOUT US

Menopause is one of those things nobody prepares you for and everybody seems to have an opinion about. This site exists to cut through the noise, like a conversation you'd have with a friend who's already been through it and kept notes.

The Menopause Stores and The Meno Blogs are a resource for women in perimenopause and menopause looking for practical guidance they can actually use. Offering straightforward information, from symptom management to product recommendations across clothing, home, and wellness, everything on this site is curated from lived experience and tested before it's recommended.

THE FOUNDER


Most "About Me" pages are just a list of credentials. This isn't that.

Growing up, I always had to figure things out on my own. I had my son young, raised him mostly solo, and built a career at the same time. Two marriages, more cities than I can count, and I was never great at staying still.

I started this blog when I started going through menopause because I couldn't find honest, practical information written by a real person.

So I became that person.

Everything here- the articles, the recommendations, the product picks- comes from actual experience. I've spent years testing what works and what doesn't, and I'm not interested in recommending anything I wouldn't use myself.

I write my own content. Always have.

If you want to get in touch, the contact page is the place to do it. I do actually read my messages.
