As menopause arrives, many of us women go through a phase where physical changes become very noticeable, including moments of intense heat, night sweats that drench, and struggles with mental clarity. These shifts can also bring about feelings of unease, mood swings that catch us off guard, and a declining interest in intimacy. Unfortunately, societal labels often paint women in their menopause years as problematic, moody, or distant, making it a real challenge to navigate these evolving changes. Sometimes, these sensations kick in even before our menstrual cycles bid farewell, and they can linger for decades.
