Having experienced her mother struggling in silence during the menopause transition and being a millennial who approaches perimenopause herself, she was shocked by how little the support system around fertility and pregnancy matches the support women get when approaching perimenopause - which is close to none. It is her mission to equip the upcoming generation entering the menopause transition with community and education - allowing ultimate self-advocacy.
