Menopause is a natural part of life — not a disease, not a failure, and certainly not the end of being vibrant, beautiful, or powerful. It’s a transition. One that deserves understanding, care, and a complete redefinition in how we talk about women, aging, and wellness. Medically, menopause marks the point when a woman has gone 12 consecutive months without a menstrual period, signaling the end of her reproductive years. It typically occurs between the ages of 45 and 55, but this can vary.
