Actually crying right now.

If you attended any of the events I was at this fall, and heard about my mom’s journey you know why.

THIS is how change happens. 🦋You learn something 🦋You tell (at least 3 people): one peer, someone younger and (please please please) someone older. This member post this morning fills my cup…but also how lucky is this mom to have her daughter here learning how to advocate for her!

My mom did not have chronic re-occurring UTIs (urinary tract infections) because she was “unlucky”; she had chronic, reoccurring UTIs in postmenopause because her ovaries stopped making estrogen when she was 49. When estrogen declines at menopause, the urethra gets shorter and smaller making it more susceptible to infection (UTI is most common) and despite ongoing (debilitating) issues with dry eyes, dry mouth, vaginal dryness, urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse and repeated UTIs, no one knew to offer her estrogen; vaginal or otherwise. I was in my 30s and 40s and did not know what I know now.

This does not have to be YOUR mother’s story. Vaginal estrogen is approved and recommended by the Canadian and American Urological Associations for the prevention of re-occurring UTIs.

Thank you for paying it forward 🦋

Meet Irene again. ♥️ I love sharing stories of women thriving on their own terms. Irene will be 102 on her next birthday. She goes to exercise class and bingo three times a week and when there is no class, she moves by walking all three floors of her residence. She loves ice cream. She is a veteran of World War II and while serving, met her husband Charlie who passed away in 2017. Today is the perfect day to honour both of them for their service. 🌺

Photo 1 is Irene and me two weeks ago when I had an opportunity to visit her. Photo 2 is Irene with her daughter Wendy who is so proud of her mom and an excellent health ally. Photo 3 is Irene, Wendy and my sister Brenda and the last photo is a pic of Irene at the local gardening centre where she goes to get her garden flowers in the spring and fall.

*️⃣The following is NOT health advice for YOU. The following statement in no way implies a connection between menopause hormone therapy and lifespan. Your job is to get informed and make the health decisions that are right for you. *️⃣

I want to share Irene’s story.

She has been taking menopause hormone therapy since her mid-50s. When she moved into her current residence, she got a new family doctor and together they were reviewing her prescriptions.

He looked at her and said: “Clearly this is working for you. Who am I to argue with that? And he renewed her prescription.”

Get informed and choose the journey that is right for you. At 52. And at 102. ♥️

WHAT IF we defined MIDLIFE as the time and space between who we were told to be, and who we actually are?

What if it’s the time for our hormones, our habits and our HOPES to all meet up in the same room and say: NOW WHAT?

That question—NOW WHAT—led me to create 13 years ago this Thursday November 13 🥂

I hope you’ll scroll by and celebrate with us all day. At MenopauseCommunity.com (Facebook) and here on Instagram/Instagram Stories 🦋💙🙏

SPEAK MENOPAUSE is a vision whereby every woman walks into her health appointment able to speak the language of her health SO fluently, it’s impossible to be confused OR dismissed. AND when she arrives at that appointment, I imagine she looks over and sees a sign that her doctor SPEAKS the same language.

Thanks to my member for sharing this pic & text with me today. And to for her leadership, care and shared vision.

FUN FACT: (Sound on 📢) my first ZOOM call ever…my first Menopause Chicks interview ever was with

I invited Bif to my online “menopause party” in April 2016 and we talked about what menopause meant to us, and about the importance of shifting the narrative for ourselves. And for others.

Tonight, thanks to my friend of .habitlife I’m going to talk about what happened 6 months before that interview 🛀

I get to share the stage with an amazing lineup of paradigm “shifters” at ShiftSessions.Events on Granville Island (It’s SOLD OUT but please follow .habitlife so you’ll hear when recordings become available!)

ABOUT TONIGHT: I’m feeling both nervous. And naked.

Nervous means I care a lot.
And naked because I’m about to get vulnerable.

Both feelings are 💯 necessary. Especially before a new shift happens.

About Menopause Chicks

We empower women to navigate perimenopause & menopause with confidence and ease. We do this by connecting women to the right information, to women’s health professionals who can support them on their journey--and we connect women with each other--via our private online community.

We believe women deserve midlife health information that is both awesome and free. We have created an unbiased and judgement-free zone. Right now, we meet women where they are. Our ultimate goal is to ensure all women are informed and educated about what to expect before they reach perimenopause, and that all women have a trusted resource to turn to for clarification, validation and to ask questions.

Menopause is NOT a synonym for suffering. Women can learn to manage any challenges or experiences that may come as a result of hormone fluctuations. But first, we must UN-learn all the myths, misconceptions and media stereotypes that, for decades, have been inaccurately and inappropriately associated with midlife.

Please join us. We are cracking open the conversation. And, we are changing the conversation. For the better.
