What is Menopause to my fellow young woman, mature woman?

Are we learning about our potential, struggling through the unknown and often unguided space where few traditional medical professionals can support or help us? Have you possibly googled the challenges of weight gain or other changes only to desperately start a new plan with little to no success, or find a supplement that promises huge success in 3 months?

This space is more of a therapy session for me, you, and or anyone who has had to navigate and continues to look for the support that those of us want to offer. Family, friends, strangers seem to have been the place I found solace over the last several years. Having had a hysterectomy at 41, I was told I would not have to visit a gynecologist again. ´We left your ovaries in so you could go through menopause more naturally and not have to go through hormone replacement´. I thought that sounded great wouldn’t you?
