My Story, My Mission, and This Moment
I created HOT FLASH! The Newsletter because I’m done watching people born female face midlife without the knowledge they want and need, surrounded by outdated, negative narratives, dismissive doctors, and little support. The narrative? For too long, menopause has been served up as a slow fade — a decline wrapped in hot flashes and hormone jokes. And even some of the emerging (supposedly) “supportive” menopause resources either reinforce that frame or never reach the people who need it most.
What if, instead of being the punchline and just surviving this stage, we told a deeper story—one of evolution and thriving? And what if we shared it more often, without shame or stigma, and with honesty, appreciation, and celebration?
As a health and wellness coach with a fierce passion for translating research into real life, that question lit a fire under me. So…I created Changing with the Change, a research-based, lifestyle-focused program to empower menopausal evolution—not expiration. “Changing with the Change” is designed as a group or individual coaching program to empower and support the whole life identity shift that is menopause, including all of the below:
Physical Changes
Mental and Emotional Changes
Sexual Changes
Health Changes
Evolving Needs
HOT FLASH! The Newsletter began as a way to share overlooked menopause-related lifestyle research to empower self-guided solutions. But through Changing with the Change workshops and HOT FLASH! LIVE, I observed the need for something more: women weren’t just hungry for information — we were starved for our own reframed narrative, grounded in science, laced with sass, and rooted in soul. And, so HOT FLASH! The Newsletter became that and more.
Who This Is For: The Space, the Vibe, the Sisterhood
This is a space for wellness rebels, deep thinkers, and curious souls. We don’t have it all figured out AND we are curious to explore more about how we can play a part in reframing this life stage from the fear- and “expiration”-based narrative that society plays.
And no, you don’t have to be in menopause. Maybe you’re learning for what’s next — or for someone you love. Either way, you belong here.
HOT FLASH! The Newsletter is:
🔥 For anyone who wants to feel empowered, not pathologized
🔥 Science-forward but never clinical
🔥 A place where research meets real talk
🔥 Built on agency, affirmation, and badassery
🔥 Fiercely body-positive, sex-positive and menopause-positive
Whether you’re post-menopause, beginning to feeling the stirrings of perimenopause or just want to get a jump on things in premenopause, this is where we get curious, not panicked — where we explore how lifestyle choices as early as our mid-20s can help us live fuller, richer lives beyond menopause.
