What does Menopause bring into your life, and what does it remove? Dealing with menopause can get tricky, especially because different women have different experiences. Some don’t have a problem at all, while for some, their entire world turns upside down.
Menopause that time in a woman’s life when she no longer has to bear those jarring stomach cramps or mood swings. Her period stops for good; no vaginal bleeding or spotting, and she can no longer bear a child.
A French Physician, Charles-Pierre-Louis de Gardanne, used the Greek words “Men” meaning Month and “Pausis” meaning cessation, referring to the completion of menstruation. For those who are still not aware, menopause comes with its new set of unthinkable, larger-than-life, and even more jarring challenges. You think the period is bad? By the time you meet Menopause, period feels like a breeze, for some at least. Well, I will say that they both have unique challenges specific to a woman’s body based on various aspects.
Around 13 million women in the UK are either perimenopausal or menopausal. Not many know much about what menopause initiates in their lives, and what it means. But when it does come, it brings in the chaos and you are forced to act on yourself. You are forced to practice self-care like you never did before!
This is why I started to think that Menopause is a permanent pause, until I had to look at it from a different perspective.
Because yes — it makes us stop. It makes us feel. It forces us to face things we’ve been told to ignore for years. But “mean” doesn’t have to be cruel — it can also mean serious, intentional, raw, and real.
As someone currently going through this transformation, I want to speak not from science alone, but from the heart. If you’re reading this, you might feel a little Lost. Tired. Maybe even Frustrated.
You are not alone or broken. You are not “TOO MUCH.”
The difference is that you are simply evolving — into your truest self.
You’re just becoming you – the fearless, untamed version of yourself who is finally allowed to speak, feel, and be.

Don’t forget to put an alarm or reminder to wake you up in case you do have anything important to complete or do later on. Like picking up kids from school or getting on that important zoom call.
