Get ready to learn the new way to take on menopause with this refreshingly real guide for millennials looking to embrace a challenging life phase with confidence, humor, and empowerment.
Menopause is often misunderstood, under-discussed, and even stigmatized. For millennial women, navigating this next chapter may seem daunting. How can you find surety and balance within all of the noise? How can you pinpoint what is an old wives’ tale and what is fact based in modern science? In Millennial Menopause, this generation finally has the handbook it deserves—a fresh, relatable, and empowering guide to understanding modern menopause.
From hormonal changes and mental health to the impact on careers, sex lives, and friendships, Millennial Menopause covers it all. With real-life anecdotes, professional advice, and important discussions on how menopause is (and isn’t) portrayed in the media, this book encourages millennial women to advocate for themselves, embrace their bodies, and navigate this phase with confidence.
Whether you’re just starting to wonder “What’s next?” or already feeling the effects, this book offers practical tips, expert interviews, and a much-needed sense of sisterhood. After all, this isn’t just the end of one chapter—it’s the beginning of an empowered new era.
Although I was born outside the defined Millennial range of 1981-1996, I do happen to meet the definition of a woman as defined by author Lauren A. Tetenbaum.
Coupled with a genuine interest in learning about something that is also a mystery for Gen X, there’s a definite draw to seek the knowledge found within the pages of a hot pink book titled Millennial Menopause.
The book compiles helpful information about a stage of life that, even today, is shrouded in mystery. Teen girls probably remember learning about menstruation, but no one ever seems to elaborate on what happens later in life.
The author approaches the topic in a relatable way by noting that every woman will experience menopause differently. As a result, the material is not written like a medical textbook. Instead, it is packed with resources about women’s health, acknowledging many women may not know what to expect from their changing bodies.
With knowledge comes power, which is precisely what readers will find in the book. Rather than silently suffering, menopausal women now know what questions to ask in order to find relief.
Just like my mother’s generation passed around a dog-eared copy of Dr. Benjamin Spock’s primer on infant and child care, it is time for us to spread the news through Millennial Menopause—a resource guide for women of all ages.
Lauren A. Tetenbaum (AKA “The CounseLaur”) is a millennial mother of two, a social worker specializing in supporting women through life transitions, and a former lawyer passionate about advocating for women. Through her counseling practice, Lauren facilitates psychoeducational workshops to empower postpartum and other women in corporate settings, provides clinical therapy to individuals and couples in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Florida, and frequently speaks on podcasts and at events about topics like maternal mental health, gender equity, and working parenthood. She regularly contributes thought leadership on women’s issues to blogs, magazines, and anthologies; this is her first book.
So glad you enjoyed my book! I hope it helps many women!
