Our Story

There is a zeitgeist in the making for women's midlife wellness and menopause care! Some menopause advocates and medical practitioners are leading with science and highlighting data that comes from reputable studies. Celebrities and influencers are also getting into the mix. Some have been righteously drawing attention to our plight (thanks Oprah, Maria, Halle, Naomi, Davina); others are pushing their endorsed products that are supposed to fix us. Buyer beware -- make sure you know what's in them! Social media is exploding with bite-sized, buzz-worthy nuggets of menopause-related content on Instagram and TikTok, and there's longer form content on YouTube and a ton of newsletters out there.

 

I've logged some great resources and gems of wisdom over the years, so I decided to create an alternative space where I could share them with my girlfriends. Then I just got into an unstoppable groove -- sending out a menopause health survey, creating a fun brand, some swag, and even a playlist -- followed by an Instagram account and this website. I love search engines and they have their place, but they are impersonal and overwhelming with sponsored content and thousands of hits. I hope I can expand your midlife wellness education and turn you onto some of the menopause experts advocating for the 40+ demographic and leading the charge today. And I recently became  a certified menopause coach so I feel more prepared than ever to have these conversations!

 

I believe that a missing piece of this 'third curve' conversation is in-person support that can come through community-building. This was the original inspiration for creating 'The Wiser Me'. Get women together in a relaxed, safe space for some bonding, fun, and education. We’re inviting topic-specific experts to speak at these women’s wellness ‘happenings’. Using crowd-sourcing, we are also creating a list of local practitioners who understand this time of our lives and who provide great care. 

​

Big thanks to the many friends who have inspired this passion project. And to Isabelle, Bekki, Patricia and Julia for being on 'The Wiser Me' advisory panel. It's been a labor of love.

 

Sending virtual hugs to those of you just looking to feel better.

I hope this site helps a little bit...

Let's all learn, give support and ultimately BE WISER.
