"I Thought I Was the Only One..." The Power of Being Seen in Menopause

I thought I was the only one…

The only one lying awake at 3am, eyes wide open in the dark, wondering when sleep would return; and why my body no longer felt like home.

The only one holding it together for my kids, for my work, for everyone else… while quietly unravelling on the inside.

The only one questioning…
“Is this normal?”
“Is something wrong with me?”
“Why does no one talk about this?”

There’s something profoundly lonely about menopause; even though it’s one of the most universal experiences women will face.

And yet, we so often walk through it in silence.

We wear the mask of competence. We keep showing up. We try to hold it all; and carry the invisible weight of change behind our smiles and schedules.

But the truth is: we’re not meant to walk this alone.

I remember the exact moment everything shifted.

I sat in a circle of women; each one of us in some stage of perimenopause or menopause. No one had all the answers. No one had it “all together.”

But there was something powerful in the honesty, in the shared experience, in the quiet nods and knowing glances. In the me too’s whispered around the room.

No one came to fix me.

They came to sit beside me.
To remind me that I still belonged.
That I wasn’t broken. I was in transition.
And that even in the undoing, something sacred was being shaped.

This is why we created our Menopause Circles.

Because what so many women crave, what we need is a place to land.
A space that holds us when the rest of life feels like it’s falling apart.
A room full of women who get it and who can sit beside us in the dark and say,
“I see you. You’re not alone.”

In our 4-week online circle, we come together once a week for 90 minutes of real conversation, gentle guidance, and sisterhood. Each gathering includes a meditation, a short teaching, and most importantly a space to share and be witnessed.

No pressure. No perfection. Just a soft place to rest. A return to yourself.

If you’ve been feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or unsure of who you’re becoming in this season of life…

Come sit with us.

Because in community, we remember who we are.

And more than that we begin to trust who we’re becoming on the otherside of menopause.

With love,
Bridget & Marie
