The majority of people walk blindly into their #perimenopause #menopause travels. They aren’t provided with the ‘holiday’ to do list to ensure that they pack their menopause suitcases wisely. Let’s ensure that the next generation doesn't walk blindly on their menopause travels.

Our #perimenopause #menopause stories are powerful. It’s the lack of them, the silence, that keeps us apart. Celebrating our diverse menopause experiences brings us closer.

In a world that pushes one-size-fits-all #perimenopause #menopause advice, remember: “Don’t set sail on someone else’s star.” Your journey is valid, valuable, and beautifully yours.

#perimenopause #menopause, like the wind, is a natural force, it is unpredictable, powerful, and beyond our control. But how we navigate it? That’s our ship, and we hold the wheel. Each person’s journey is unique, shaped by their body, their choices, and their resilience.

Menopause isn’t the enemy. Silence is.
Our experiences are diverse, messy, beautiful.
Recognise them. Accept them. Celebrate them.
That’s how we rise.
