Time After Time: Embracing YOUR Journey
Time—it’s a concept we joke about, yet it seems to rule our lives, adding stress to our already full plates. Through my menopause journey, I’ve realized that stress and time are deeply connected, and breaking that cycle has been one of my biggest challenges. I’ve had to rebuild my routine from the ground up—prioritizing sleep, taking my supplements, and pushing myself to move, even when it feels impossible. It hasn’t been easy, but I’ve learned that time is not my enemy; it’s the key to transformation. My wings may still be forming, but I refuse to let menopause hold me back. Join me and the Menopalz community as we embrace this journey together.

The realization? Hormones don’t play fair, but they do demand respect. At Menopalz, we get it. Life’s plot twists are easier to navigate with a sisterhood by your side.
