When Midlife Meets Motherhood

For too long, menopause has been treated as something to hide, endure, or quietly survive. Our culture doesn’t talk about it, and because of that silence, generations of women have suffered. But menopause is not an ending. It is a rite of passage, as sacred and transformative as birth.

Today, more people are having babies later in life, which means many are entering perimenopause and menopause while still deep in the work of mothering. You might be postpartum and perimenopausal at the same time. You might be raising children, caring for aging parents, building a career, and trying to remember who you are beneath all the roles. These overlapping transitions can feel heavy, messy, and invisible… and yet, they are profoundly human.

This space exists for the ones navigating both. We talk about hormones, sleep, libido, energy, and the emotional weight of tending to everyone else while your own body is changing again. We explore what it means to mother through midlife, to grieve what’s ending, and to welcome what’s emerging.

Menopause in motherhood is not a crisis. It is a calling to slow down, to listen more deeply, and to let go of what no longer serves you. You deserve care that honors your body’s wisdom, your history, and your ongoing matrescence.
