Faced with a topic often dismissed or avoided, I reframed menopause as a shared, vibrant experience. Embedded in a “menopause camp,” I wove together expert voices, personal testimony, and moments of humor to keep viewers engaged. The story helped women feel recognized, validated, and informed.

“We've gotta stop normalizing suffering, you know, as women, we just think of everything we do is one big suffering thing after another. And we say, well, you know, she suffers from this.

And we've gotta get out of that mindset that we shouldn't make suffering in womanhood synonymous. No, we should expect to feel good.” -DR. SHARON MALONE
