Can Menopause Be Empowering?

Can Menopause Be Empowering?

Real stories. Real shifts. Real relief.

“I thought I was losing my mind. Then I realized—maybe I was just shedding the parts of myself I no longer needed.”
— Jenna, 48, Chicago

When we talk about menopause, it’s often in whispers. Or worse, in jokes about hot flashes and hormonal meltdowns. But for many women, this midlife transition—messy, mysterious, magnificent—has become a portal. Not into decline, but into power.

We asked women in the VIIQ community what menopause means to them now. The answers weren’t what the wellness world usually markets. They were better: honest, raw, and full of fire.

🗣️ VIIQ Voices

Margi, 39 – “I became a boundary-setting machine.”
“I stopped saying yes to everything. I stopped apologizing for taking up space. The emotional volatility forced me to reevaluate every damn relationship in my life. It wasn't fun, but it was liberating.”

Margi started taking our Rage Cage gummies to soften the edge of her 3PM meltdown zone. She calls it her ‘reset ritual.’

Amber, 55 – “My sex drive changed, but my pleasure deepened.”
“Perimenopause changed my sexual appetite. But I started asking myself: what do I want? Not just sexually, but creatively, spiritually. I’m not fading away—I’m coming into focus."

She swears by our Dialed In gummies before a night on the town.

Marisol, 50 – “I stopped chasing youth and started chasing strength.”
“I used to think aging meant shrinking. Now I lift weights, speak louder, and say Yes more to new experiences."

She massages Joint Roller Extra into her knees before sunrise walks. It’s part of her reclaim-the-morning ritual.

Menopause isn’t a flaw in the female design. It’s not a bug in your biology. It’s a recalibration. A shedding. A step into a more powerful version of yourself—fueled by intuition, inner knowing, and yes, sometimes plant-based support.

At VIIQ, we’re not here to fix you. We’re here to stand beside you—with symptom relief formulas designed just for your transition.
