Ola’s Story

I was this practical, self-assured woman suddenly overtaken by anxiety, and I couldn’t figure out why. It’s not about surviving menopause – it’s about thriving in my unique way after it. Despite the dominant fear-driven narrative of ‘woe is me’, I knew that if I could make it through my perimenopause storm, others could too, especially those of us from minoritised and marginalised communities.

Menopause isn’t the same for everyone. Every community should feel empowered to access the information they deserve to thrive. There’s no one-size-fits-all—just what’s right for you.
