    Jul 1 2025
    In this unapologetic and soul-stirring episode of Wisdom in Bloom, we’re raising our voices and standing proudly as the Wisdom in Bloom chapter of the “We Do Not Care” movement—created by the bold and brilliant Melani Sanders.This movement is a rally cry for every woman navigating perimenopause, menopause, and post-menopause who is tired of being dismissed, misunderstood, and minimized. It’s for the women who are finally choosing themselves—their health, their joy, their truth—and doing so without apology.We’re talking about the power of not caring about outdated beauty standards, societal timelines, or anyone else's expectations. Because at this stage in life, peace, purpose, and power matter way more than pleasing.About the Movement:The “We Do Not Care” movement, created by Melani Sanders, (@justbeingmelani) is a bold declaration that women in midlife are done shrinking, hiding, and waiting for permission. We’re loud, proud, and in full bloom—and we invite you to join us.Because at this stage of life, we don’t need permission.We do not care—and we’re blooming anyway. 🌸🔥Get Involved: Grab our As You Bloom journal on Amazon—a space created just for women over 40 to explore, release, and grow.Stay Connected:Follow us @wisdominbloompodcast for more real conversations, expert advice, and daily reminders that your growth journey is valid, valuable, and beautiful.Join the Blooming Community:🌐 Website: ⁠WisdominBloom.net⁠ 📓 Journal: As You Bloom – available on Amazon: ⁠https://a.co/d/6qRAtJq ⁠ 📓 NoteBook: Bloom with...... - available on Amazon: ⁠https://a.co/d/7IIpxSg⁠💞 Patreon: ⁠Become a Patron⁠ and help us keep the mics & the messages going strong!
