About the book:

Get ready to learn the new way to take on menopause with this refreshingly real guide for millennials looking to embrace a challenging life phase with confidence, humor, and empowerment.

Menopause is often misunderstood, under-discussed, and even stigmatized. For millennial women, navigating this next chapter may seem daunting. How can you find surety and balance within all of the noise? How can you pinpoint what is an old wives’ tale and what is fact based in modern science? In Millennial Menopause, this generation finally has the handbook it deserves—a fresh, relatable, and empowering guide to understanding modern menopause.

From hormonal changes and mental health to the impact on careers, sex lives, and friendships, Millennial Menopause covers it all. With real-life anecdotes, professional advice, and important discussions on how menopause is (and isn’t) portrayed in the media, this book encourages millennial women to advocate for themselves, embrace their bodies, and navigate this phase with confidence.

Whether you're just starting to wonder "What’s next?" or already feeling the effects, this book offers practical tips, expert interviews, and a much-needed sense of sisterhood. After all, this isn't just the end of one chapter—it's the beginning of an empowered new era.
