Behavioral science says we notice what’s salient. #perimenopause #menopause isn’t salient, until it is. For someone else.

Viewing #perimenopause #menopause alone is like reading one page of a novel and thinking you know the plot. The real narrative unfolds across the whole life course.

The goal isn’t to make #perimenopause #menopause louder. It’s to make the conversation wiser, weaving and threading every person’s experience into the conversations.

The landscape of #perimenopause #menopause is vast, fields of possibility, rivers of change, mountains of resilience. The challenge is simple: will you keep squabbling inside, or open the shade?

Viewed through the life‑course lens, #perimenopause #menopause becomes a bridge, connecting health, productivity, and equality into one ecosystem.

Menopause and Autism online event

There’s a #Menopause and #Autism online event happening in December.

We talk about #perimenopause #menopause like it’s an isolated event. But it’s really a chapter in a lifelong story. Puberty, parenting (if able to or wanting to), caring, ageing……… each stage threads into the next.

Irony is the song of a bird who has never left its cage.
#perimenopause #menopause voices deserve flight, not silence.

Many think #perimenopause #menopause is just about loss. But it can also be the moment you stop fighting for validation and start living for yourself.

#perimenopause #menopause isn’t a crisis, it’s a design feature. But we treat it like a bug because we built the workplace for 30-year-old men in suits.

#perimenopause #menopause without diversity is like an orchestra with only violins. Loud, narrow, and unrepresentative of the real music.

Menstruation: whispered about in school.
#perimenopause #menopause: whispered about at work.
Maybe it’s time we stopped whispering?

#perimenopause #menopause: purpose over popularity.
