Not Even Five Older Sisters Told Her What to Expect

How much secrecy surrounds menopause? Not even Maggie Lambert's five older sisters wanted to talk about it. We thought that was part of the how-to- be-a-good-sister contract.

Menopause is a universal experience for women (eventually), but no two women go through menopause the same way. If you’d like to tell us about your menopause experience, please answer eight questions here and include a photo of yourself. If you'd rather tell your story anonymously, let us know.

Our goal is to make menopause more mainstream, something we can talk about without whispering. Read about our menopause mission here.

Here we feature the story of Maggie Lambert of Fort Wayne, IN.
