I'm in the category of perimenopause / menopause now. Body changing, brain fog, can cry a lot, hot flushes have calmed down with herbs though which is good. But feel old, frumpy and sometimes grumpy and exercise doesn't work to keep the body toned. All the talk in the media and companies supporting menopause and talking about it. On one hand I think great something positive will come from this and it should not be another thing for women to just get on with and often suffer. On the other something feels off like it isn't empowering to women. The promotion of HRT while I know it is helpful for many women, something seems like this isn't a miracle pill after all.

I don't have the answers but have been asking what is really going on here and what is an empowering way so I can rock it as I'm older and hopefully wiser - although maybe not wiser!!
