Who am I if I’m not the caregiver, hustler, people-pleaser, or “woman who can survive on coffee and chaos alone”?

Menopause isn’t just about hot flashes and hormones. It’s about waking up one day and realizing half the identities you’ve carried around don’t fit anymore.

You’ve never truly lived in a brand-new body—until midlife handed you one.

The Shed Is Real​
Here’s the truth: midlife asks us to shed identities we’ve outgrown.

• The Superwoman cape? Heavy. Drop it.
• The Yes Girl who signs up for everything (PTA, bake sale, volunteering at events you hate)? Retired.
• The Younger Me still chasing 25-year-old abs? Sorry, she doesn’t pay rent here anymore.

These roles may have worked in your 20s and 30s, but now? They feel like that friend who only calls when they need to borrow your car. Exhausting.

The Plot Twist: Menopause as a Reset Button​
Here’s the good part: menopause is like a cosmic permission slip to reinvent yourself.
It’s not “losing yourself”—it’s finally ditching what never belonged to you in the first place. You get to decide what stays and what you remove from your life.

• Want more boundaries? Done.
• Want to stop apologizing for eating carbs? Hell yes.

Want to show up as your sharp, seasoned self without caring who approves? That’s the vibe.
​

Try This​
Next time you feel like screaming into a pillow (valid choice), try journaling instead:

• “Which roles feel like dead weight right now?”
• “What parts of me am I curious to grow into?”
• “What would I do if I wasn’t busy proving myself?”

Final Word​
You’re not broken. You’re not fading. You’re not “too much.”
You’re just stepping into a new version of yourself—one with less people-pleasing and apologizing .

So tell me—what identity are you ready to shed? Hit reply and spill.
