Early every Monday morning, I drive along the edge of the sea, straight into the sunrise, which comes either as a soft mist or as a breathtaking quicksilver glisten on the horizon. Leaving my car at the edge of a rutted lane, I pass though a rustic wooden gate, then an allée of young fig […]

Something we hear all the time from women is how rare it is to see ourselves accurately depicted in word and film. Maybe this is because juicy, powerful, and sovereign (or fill in your favorite menopausal experience) can look and feel so different to each one of us. Maybe this is another reflection of how […]
In like a lion, out like a lamb. So goes the old saying about March. It’s blustery, changeable, wind-swept, and suddenly, in the very middle, it’s spring (or autumn, depending on where you live). March for me is the month of gigantic, fluffy clouds and unexpected sunshine. It’s the month of new life hatching and […]

Who did you expect to be at fifty? How did you expect to live? Did you expect to be wild, or tame? I thought fifty would feel so settled. I would be accomplished and self-satisfied, probably rich, definitely calm. I didn’t consider what the state of my dreams and yearnings would be. Through my thirties […]
As we enter our late 30’s and early 40’s (the decade of time which typically precedes natural menopause) something happens to our emotions. It can look like depression or apathy. Even things we normally love can lose their gleam and we can find ourselves struggling with a lack of energy. It can look like anger—a […]
What I loved most about the Vivid Menopause Journey was the connection, support, sharing of stories, and feeling excited about a new way to approach menopause. I benefited in so many ways from the Online Journey: in learning about the importance of sleep, nourishment on many levels, self-acceptance at this time, new ideas for managing symptoms and even better ways to think/feel about them. I felt supported in my personal life. The other women were so brave, beautiful, raw, real.
