Support isn’t just a luxury – it’s a lifeline, especially during the menopause transition. It’s a crucial element that can make the challenging menopause years more manageable. Because support isn’t just a luxury — it’s a lifeline, especially during the challenging menopause years.
There’s a moment in many women’s menopause journeys when everything feels just a bit too much. The brain fog. The unexpected tears. The restless nights. The hot flushes at the worst possible times. And through it all, a nagging voice: Why does no one talk about this?
If you’ve ever felt isolated, overwhelmed, or unsure of where to turn, this blog is a comforting refuge that offers relief and reassurance for you.
Because the truth is:
You’re not alone.
Remember, you’re not alone. You have support – you don’t have to go through this alone. Others understand and are ready to listen.
And remember, healing starts when we stop pretending we are alone. It’s in the shared stories, the understanding nods, and the comforting words that our healing journey truly begins.
Sisterhood Is Healing
For generations, women gathered around fires, in kitchens, on porches, and in sacred circles — places where they could speak freely, cry openly, and laugh loudly. Menopause wasn’t a mystery. It was honoured.
In today’s fast-paced, hyper-individual world, those sacred spaces are harder to find — but not impossible to reclaim.
Research shows that strong social support can ease anxiety, reduce depression, and even help regulate stress hormones like cortisol — all of which are critical during menopause. Your nervous system calms in safe company. When you share your story, your brain begins to heal.
“Healing happens in community. Your story, shared with someone who truly listens, becomes medicine, for you and them. This act of sharing is not just healing, it’s empowering.”
— Brene Brown
The Lonely Side of Menopause (And Why It’s Not Your Fault)
Many women describe menopause as invisible suffering — especially in environments where symptoms are dismissed or misunderstood.
Common phrases we hear:
- “I thought I was going crazy.”
- “I couldn’t talk to anyone without sounding dramatic.”
- “Everyone around me was too busy to notice I wasn’t coping.”
This silencing is both cultural and systemic — but it’s not permanent. The more we speak, the more we break the cycle.
You don’t need a room full of people to feel held. Sometimes, having just one safe person is enough to get started.
How to Build (or Rebuild) Your Circle of Support
Here are five practical ways to invite support into your menopause journey:
1. Start with one honest conversation.
Reach out to a friend, sister, or trusted woman and say, “Can I talk to you about something personal I’m navigating?” You’d be surprised how many will respond with “Me too.”
2. Join (or create) a menopause circle.
Whether it’s an online group, a WhatsApp thread, or a monthly coffee catch-up — shared spaces ease the emotional weight. If you can’t find one, create your own. Other women are waiting for someone to go first.
3. Prioritise presence over performance.
You don’t need to “have it all together” to be in a community. Show up as you are — in your sweats, your fog, your flow. That’s how others feel safe to do the same.
4. Use daily rituals as connection points.
Your hormone-balancing cream isn’t just a product — it can be a moment of grounding. Invite a friend to try it with you. Share tips. Create mini check-ins around it.
5. Let people support you.
It might be hard, but letting yourself receive is a radical act of self-care. You don’t have to do it all alone to be strong.
