The Menopause Manifesto: 7 F*ck-That Tips for Surviving This Hormonal Hellstorm
“I tried the herbal teas. I tried deep breathing. I even downloaded an app that told me to imagine I was a leaf floating on a stream. Spoiler: I am not a leaf. I am a peri-menopausal woman on the edge of setting fire to my bra and the dishwasher.
So here’s what I wish someone had told me:
You’re not broken. You’re becoming.
And you don’t have to do it politely.”
From righteous rage to fuzzy-brain hacks and screw-you fashion, this is your unapologetic survival guide to hormonal hell — written by a neurodivergent Gen X therapist who’s done pretending this is fine.

Turning fifty as a neurodivergent woman feels like finally taking a deep breath after decades of holding it in. For years, I masked, molded, and tried to fit into a world that wasn’t built for my brain. But now? I’m done shrinking myself.
At fifty, I’ve learned that my intensity, my deep emotions, my scattered-yet-brilliant way of thinking—these aren’t flaws. They are part of who I am, and I refuse to apologize for them anymore.
🔹 What I wish I knew sooner: You are not “too much.” You are not broken. You are not here to meet the expectations of people who don’t understand you.
Here’s to living unfiltered, embracing every neurodivergent quirk, and taking up space unapologetically.
