Menopause in Writers by Kitty Bucholtz

My struggles with perimenopause and menopause have been crushingly difficult. One of the ways I choose to cope and process is to write about it and share the information I think will be helpful for others. I finally got the first chapter written and posted! Working title, Encouragement for Writers in Perimenopause. You can read it on my Substack or on my blog, whichever is easiest for you.

One of the helpful resources I want to share is the documentary series Balance. Two women filmmakers go looking for answers to their own questions and interview some of the top menopause specialists in the world. There are several ways/places to watch the 4-episode series including for free on Plex and Vimeo as well as on Amazon Prime and Apple TV. Scroll down this page to find which services you can use to watch it depending on what country you’re in.

Information is powerful for change, and I think you’ll find it’s worth it to stay informed, no matter who you are. I hope this helps.
