From the Tribe Journal
Reflections and lessons from my MeNoPause! journey - navigating change with strength, humor, and grace, because life doesn’t pause, neither do I.
The 3 AM Strategy Meeting No One Scheduled
If your eyes just snapped open at 3:14 AM for absolutely no reason, welcome to the meeting. I call this 'The 3 AM Strategy Committee'—where your brain decides to solve world peace and replay awkward moments from 2004. Here is a proposal for tonight's agenda: acknowledge the meeting, then kindly ask your internal CEO to table the discussion until morning.
My Patience is Currently on Backorder
If you have recently found yourself filled with a white-hot, sudden rage because someone in front of you counted out exact change... welcome to the club. Society calls this 'Menopausal Rage,' but I have a different theory. It isn't a mood swing; it’s an efficiency upgrade. After decades of handling the mental load for everyone else, we simply no longer have the bandwidth for nonsense. Here is why your short fuse is actually a sign of executive functioning.
The "Dry" Truth: Why Everything Itches
Feel like you’re slowly turning into a piece of human beef jerky? It’s not just the February wind—it’s "The Great Dehydration." Here is the unsexy science behind the itch and the winter survival toolkit you need to get your glow back.
The Myth of the Invisible Woman (And Why We’re Turning Up the Volume)
Society expects women to become "invisible" once they hit midlife, but we’re rewriting the script.

Stop trying to blend in and start turning up the volume—it’s time to step out of the shadows and into your own spotlight.
