About this listen

Winner of The British Book Awards 2023 Overall Book of the Year

‘We can’t wait for this.’ Red

Menopausing is more than just a book, it’s a movement. An uprising.

Menopause affects every woman, and yet so many approach it with shame, fear, misinformation or silence.

Why is no one talking about this? Who has the correct information? And how can we get it?

That’s how this book has come about. We are going to tell you the truth, so you can make an informed decision about your life and your body … mic drop.’

For too long, women have had to keep quiet about the menopause – its onset, its symptoms, its treatments – and what it means for us. Menopausing will build an empowered, supportive community to break this terrible silence once and for all. By exploring and explaining the science, debunking damaging myths, and smashing the taboos around the perimenopause and menopause, this book will equip women to make the most informed decisions about their health… and their lives.

Menopausing will also celebrate the sharing of stories, enabling women to feel less alone and more understood, and talk openly and positively about menopause.

  • No more scaremongering: just evidence-based info
  • No shame: real women, real menopause stories, real empathy, real community
  • Honest, no-holds-barred advice: Dry vagina? Zero sex drive? Hair loss? We’ve got it covered
  • The start of a movement: to get everyone talking about the menopause in every home, GP surgery and workspace

Critic Reviews

‘Game changing’ Guardian Online

‘[This] book is amazing; the way you’ve designed this book, from the colours to the cover to the structure of every page and how engaging and unintimidating it is and accessible it feels.’ Steven Bartlett, Diary of a CEO

‘Bracing, brutally honest, sisterly and huggy all at the same time.’ The Bookseller

Thank goodness for this book. After chapter two I raced out to start my patch after sitting on the fence for two years. Great book that we must share with all our sisters and mature goddesses out there 💕

I suspected that I was heading into perimenopause. But until listening to your book, I had no idea how much is was already in the thick of perimenopause and had affected my life.

For me it’s been a slow decline over the last 5 or so years. I’d put it down to running a business, kids going into adulthood, running a hobby farm, ageing parents the list goes on.

I’ve always been incredibly confident and can walk into any room and strike up a conversation with anyone. In my business I speak to CEOs, department heads and I’m often in a board room surrounded by upper management. Recently in one of those meetings, I totally and utterly went blank. Like nothing. Zero. I couldn’t even summon what company I was at. I had to excuse myself and race to the bathroom and I just stood with my head against the back of the stall door wondering what the…… was going on. I really thought that’s it I’m done, I’ve lost it.
This book has put everything into perspective. And in four days time I get to visit with my Gyno and we’re going to have a conversation about HRT and I’m excited.

My husband also listened to this book, to help better understand what was going on with me. At about the halfway point he rang me and said when I come home this afternoon I’m going to give you the biggest hug ever. I’m so sorry you’ve had to go through this.

If you are in perimenopause, menopause, know someone who is, suspect someone is, or you’re a human. You need to read this book.

Thank you isn’t enough

Thank you for helping me find my voice and stop pushing through. I was one of the women of the mindset that I just needed to push through as this was all very natural. The changes had been very subtle, and as new symptoms of 'ageing' were added I started to ask th questions. This book helped me become my own menopause warrior.
I am now well into my second spring but just starting my menopause recovery. I felt very empowered listening to the book and for that I am very grateful.

Davina & doctor Naomi have given me the tools and the power (knowledge) to go to my GP and have the discussion. To the story tellers thank you for giving real life examples about going through this. I found myself nodding along and tearing up throughout. We will get through this!

Such a good book to read/listen to. A book that helps you arm yourself with vital knowledge and tools for such an important journey of our lives as women. The part so many of us move through so quietly because it’s not talked about enough nor is it understood.
Thank you for empowering us.
