Two women smiling and chatting over coffee in a cafe with a soft pink background. One wears glasses and holds a cup. Warm, friendly mood.
No really, what's tea?

The Silent Era: Keep Calm and Carry On (Alone)

Back in the day, hitting “that change” basically meant you were done. Like, gently shown the exit with zero fanfare. Our moms and grandmas? They dealt with symptoms and mood swings like secret agents on a hush mission — no sharing, no support, just toughing it out in silence.

“Mood swings? What mood swings? Just drink your tea and smile.” — Every grandma ever

Breaking the Silence: Spill the Tea, Sister

Fast forward to now, and that old script is officially canceled. We’re swapping stories, memes, and real talk — because why suffer in silence when you can suffer together and laugh about it? Knowledge is power, and gatekeeping? Not in this century.

“If you’re not talking about it, you’re missing out on half the fun.”

Permission? We Don’t Need It.

This isn’t the end of your story; it’s the badass sequel. Armed with facts, community, and zero shame, we’re thriving on our own terms. Passing down the wisdom instead of the hush-hush, so the next badass in line can bloom even brighter.

“We didn’t ask for permission to thrive — we took it.”

Shift, Bloom, and Own It

Because this isn’t a pause, it’s a power move.
