Our Mission
To Uplift
A woman’s well-being is often overlooked and diminished. Women are frequently tasked with everyday responsibilities and expectations that typically require them to ignore or abandon their individual needs. And sadly, the American culture perpetuates it. With females representing a little more than half the U.S. population (roughly 173 million people), women deserve better. Every woman’s health should be recognized, prioritized, and honored because a woman is the essence of life itself.
At PeriMpowered, we serve as an aid for the perimenopausal population. We strive to create a space that fosters strong self-awareness and public comprehension. A space that promotes dialogue, encourages unity, and champions community. A space that provides a means to education and tools, and illuminates the beauty within this phase of our lives.
Awareness
Knowledge and Understanding
The term perimenopause brings about many questions. What is it? Am I going through it? At what age does it start? And end? What do I do? Where do I go for help? Now what?
Identifying a health concern such as perimenopause, though, may simply be enough to ease your mind. Awareness is the key to unlocking a path toward learning. PeriMpowered recommends obtaining a consultation and evaluation with a physician and/or an OB-GYN if you think you are perimenopausal. We encourage you to self-advocate until you find a medical professional that is attentive and supportive to your needs.
Community
Cultivation Through Conversation
So, perimenopause is happening and it’s a large part of your everyday life. Maybe it’s even consuming your life. Due to the lack of awareness, knowledge, and understanding however, you don’t know who to talk to. And may wonder, is it OK to talk about it?
The answer is a resounding, Yes!!! Building community is vital to a woman’s well-being, particularly during this mysterious stage of life. If we connect with others and bond through shared experiences (or unique ones), we create a safe environment to speak our truths. We create an atmosphere of compassion and empathy. We create a welcoming place to embrace and celebrate perimenopause. A world where we are listened to not silenced, validated not labeled. A space where we are empowered. PeriMpowered!

Resources and Tools
Have you noticed the minimal amount of information available including the lack of medical expertise? It’s shocking, frustrating, and upsetting, especially since perimenopause can last up to a decade of a woman’s life.
At PeriMpowered, we are committed to gathering useful articles, videos, interviews, and podcasts as well as showcasing organizations dedicated to improving the lives of the perimenopausal community.
