✨ Your Spark Action Step This Week

This week, choose one skincare product—just one—and upgrade it for your midlife skin.

You don’t need a 12-step routine. You don’t need a $200 serum. You need support, not stress.

Look for something more hydrating, more barrier-friendly, and more aligned with where your body is right now. For example:

  • Swap your light lotion for a ceramide-rich cream that locks in moisture
  • Ditch the foaming face wash for a gentle, creamy cleanser.
  • Replace your old toner with a hydrating mist or essence
  • Try adding a few drops of jojoba oil to your nighttime routine

Or choose a vulvar moisturizer to address intimate dryness with compassion

Pick one. Make the shift. Then notice how your skin responds—not just in texture, but in how it feels to care for yourself this way.

Midlife isn’t a time to punish your body—it’s your invitation to partner with it.

About the Podcast

MenoSpark Podcast
Holistic Health Support Through PeriMenopause and Beyond
Welcome to MenoSpark—the podcast for Gen X women who are done putting up with the confusion, silence, and BS around menopause. If you’re somewhere between “what is happening to my body?” and “why am I suddenly crying over insurance commercials?”—you’re in the right place.

MenoSpark is your weekly dose of real talk, holistic health support, and empowering insights to help you thrive through perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause. With expert guidance from yours truly (a board-certified sexologist and menopause care provider), plus candid stories, practical tips, and occasional guests, we’ll tackle everything from hot flashes to hormone balance, libido to bone health, anxiety to energy work.

This isn’t about surviving menopause—it’s about reigniting your spark.

We’ll explore a full-spectrum approach to wellness, blending physical, emotional, mental, and energetic tools to support you as your body evolves. Nothing's off the table, from medical care to mindset shifts, nutrition to nervous system support.

Whether you’re just entering perimenopause or riding out postmenopausal peace (with a heating pad and a glass of red), this space is here to remind you: you are not broken—you’re becoming.

So, if you're ready to move beyond the overwhelm and embrace menopause as a time of powerful transformation, come join the MenoSpark community. Together, we’ll reclaim this wild, wonderful stage of life with knowledge, confidence, and unapologetic energy.
