Welcome to Me, Mentally Managing Menopause

Join me on a journey of discovery, support, and empowerment as we navigate the challenges of menopause together. My blog is dedicated to providing valuable insights, resources, and community for women going through this transformative phase of life. Please note, I am not a doctor or a medical professional.  This blog is meant to document my journey and help others that may be struggling the same way that I am.  I read that the best way to get through menopause is to have a support system.  I want to be that support system for other women that may not have one.

Last year, in October, I attended a retreat in Pennsylvania.  This retreat is a thing that we (my husband and I) attend every year. It focuses on Ki Gong (qigong/Chi gong, depending on the country of origin) practice and is hosted by the Tang Soo Do Association that we are part of.  The location changes every year and depends on the region that is chosen to host it. We hosted in Wisconsin in 2024 and this year it will be in San Francisco. Anyway, Last year at the retreat, I had the amazing idea to teach a session at this year's retreat about women's health.  I proposed this idea to the person hosting and, they, of course, loved the idea. Yay! I am teaching a class!

How has it been so long?

This will be a long one (that's what she said) since this will serve as an update of the goings on of the last 12 months.  A lot has happened; a Lot has changed.  I can't tell you how many times I have been somewhere and had an idea for this.  I have multiple entries in the note's app of my phone, and I am sure many more hand-written entries floating around.  The problem is that I always get my ideas when I am not home and not in front of a computer, I can put things on, then by the time I am in a place that I can add an entry, I forgot that I wrote something and/or lost what I wrote, oh yeah and I probably forgot that I wanted to make an entry.  I apologize for this.

About me

My name is Lyndsey and I am 45. I Live in Wisconsin with my husband, daughter (and her partner), three dogs, two cats, six rats, and two grand-puppies.

Me, Mentally Managing Menopause is a record of my journey of self-discovery as I navigate the struggles of perimenopause.  My support circle is small, and I know there are others out there like me.  I want to be able to make suggestions for supplements, treatments, reading, and exercise that may help woman deal with their body changes over the coming years.  My goal is to create a community where women can come to vent, rage, cry, ask questions, and feel supported through their journey into life beyond self-regulating hormones.
