Hi, I'm Dawn. And if you're here, you're likely in the same place I was not so long ago: feeling a bit lost, a bit frustrated, and completely unprepared for what perimenopause and menopause had in store.

For years, I felt like I was riding a rollercoaster I didn't ask to get on. The hot flashes, the sleepless nights, the mood swings—it all came on with little warning, and I felt completely alone in my experience. I started searching for answers, but I quickly realized how scattered and confusing the information was. I spent countless hours trying to piece together the puzzle, sifting through misinformation and feeling more alone than ever.

It was in that frustration that an idea took hold. What if I could build the resource I wished I had? A single, trustworthy place where women could find real, practical advice, connect with a community that "gets it," and discover products and services that actually work.

I am a 60-year-old woman who has walked this path, and my mission is to light the way for you. Women with a Pause is more than just a website; it’s a community built on a foundation of shared experience. My goal is to empower you with resources to navigate this life transition with grace, humor, and confidence.

This is a journey we can take together. I’m so glad you’re here.
