If you've ever felt confused, frustrated, or completely unprepared for perimenopause and menopause, you're not alone. For generations, women have been expected to navigate this major life transition with little information, limited support, and far too many unanswered questions.

In this empowering episode of the V.I.B.E. Living Podcast, Lynnis Woods-Mullins sits down with Michelle Jacobs, co-founder of Womaness, to have an honest conversation about menopause, perimenopause symptoms, hormone therapy, and what women really need to thrive during midlife.

Michelle shares her journey from leading product innovation for major consumer brands to co-founding Womaness, a company dedicated to helping women navigate menopause with confidence and clarity. Together, we explore some of the most common symptoms women experience, including hot flashes, night sweats, brain fog, sleep disruptions, weight changes, skin and hair concerns, vaginal dryness, and shifts in libido.

We also discuss the growing conversation around hormone replacement therapy (HRT), why menopause education has historically been overlooked, and how changing medical guidance is empowering more women to advocate for themselves and seek answers that support their unique needs.

Beyond symptoms and solutions, this conversation dives into the emotional side of aging. We explore how cultural messages about youth impact women's confidence, why community matters, and how simple daily practices like movement, curiosity, gratitude, and self-care can help women feel vibrant, strong, and empowered in every stage of life.

Whether you're just beginning to notice changes or are well into your menopause journey, this episode offers practical insights, encouragement, and a refreshing reminder that menopause is not something to endure—it's a transition that can be navigated with knowledge, support, and confidence.

Bio

COO Michelle Jacobs and Co-Founder of Womaness, envisioned a world where 50 million women entering menopause had a place to go for education, inspiration, and real solutions. With a background in strategic development and brand building, Michelle worked for iconic brands like Polo Ralph Lauren and Lancôme before transitioning to the publishing world where she launched and developed retail business for Real Simple, Cooking Light and InStyle magazines with retail partners like Target, Bed Bath & Beyond, and Crate & Barrel. She then handled the Joy Manganao brand (yes, that Joy Mangano) who introduced the world to the Miracle Mop and Huggable Hangers. Many years and many brands later, the entrepreneurial urge hit, and Michelle knew it was time to establish a business of her own.
