For Women Approaching Or Dealing With Menopause
Approaching the Pause:
Candid Conversations on the Journey Towards Menopause.
“Menopause is a universal story told in silence. If even just one woman is willing to speak out and share her experience, it can set the stage for greater understanding, acceptance, and control for us all.” – Dr. Rosie
My friend Joanne Vines is many things. She’s an entrepreneur, a wife, and a mother, but first and foremost she’s a woman. Throughout her life, Jo has experienced the ups, downs, and perplexing realities of womanhood.
With frankness and characteristic wry humour, Jo explore her past, present, and future experiences with her own body. But not only are these stories gripping and instantly relatable – they also come with answers!
In Approaching the ‘Pause, I work with Jo to give cutting-edge scientific explanations to understand both the “whys” of what’s happening and the “hows” of embracing a new chapter of life with confidence, health, and happiness.
It’s an important story and journey, told by and for the women who actually experience it.
I Am On A Mission To
Empower You
Many women aren’t prepared for midlife changes that naturally occur. They may expect to get “hot flushes” or feel tired – but just as with puberty, the reality can come as a shock.
It’s not until we actually go through the changes – beginning at premenopausal and moving forward from there – that we know what it’s really like. When this happens, it’s not uncommon for women to:
Feel mentally and emotionally drained.
Lose their self confidence and take less care of themselves.
Become less social and feel strained in their relationships.
Our book Approaching the ‘Pause addresses the root of these emotional and physical issues. With the help of Jo and her incredible openness, together we explore and understand the biggest challenges that premenopausal and menopausal women face.
The ‘pause is about much more than hot flushes. You’ll also discover:
Why we tend to gain weight.
The root cause of those mood swings.
It’s not just you – many of us get dry, itchy skin.
The reason you can’t sleep at night.
And MUCH more
Join me on this journey to regain your power through self-confidence, self-care, and self-centering.
Here’s What They’re Saying…
‘I’ve read your book and I’m a big fan of the work that you and Jo Vines have done in bringing the conversation around perimenopause and menopause, not only to people who are going through it, but other people who will go through it, or people who are supporting other people going through it. Just to reiterate the message of your book, it’s not the end; it’s just the beginning…it’s a chance for you to take control of how you want things to be in the future’.
“Thank you for this amazing book, the information is life-changing. No longer do I feel like I’m the only one. Every woman needs to read this, no matter what age. It will happen to everyone of course! Here’s to speaking about it more freely and without shame.”
“I had watched my mother, privately it seemed, battle with menopause – “going through the change” and uncontrollable emotions and hot flushes for years on and off. It wasn’t really spoken about openly…So, when I started reading this book I was so pleased to read that it was in easy to understand, simple medical language, and a format that I found really entertaining and funny at times to read.”
