Breaking the Stigma: Empowering Women Through Menopause and Perimenopause

It’s time to break the silence around menopause and perimenopause.

We believe this transformative stage of life should be met with knowledge, confidence, and empowerment—not stigma or misunderstanding.

Our mission is to:

  • Educate women, men, and employers about menopause and its impact on life and work.

  • Empower women to thrive through perimenopause and menopause with tools, insights, and support.

  • Eliminate the stigma surrounding menopause in homes, workplaces, and society.

Why MenoRise was founded

Founded by Sonia McDonald, a globally recognised leadership expert, speaker, and author, MenoRise was born from a deeply personal place: her own experience navigating the challenges of menopause.

For Sonia, menopause was more than a physical change—it was an emotional and mental transformation that challenged her resilience, identity, and confidence. As she sought information and support, she realized how many women felt isolated, misunderstood, and even unsupported in their workplaces and relationships. It was a wake-up call: the stigma surrounding menopause had to be dismantled.

Drawing from her expertise in leadership and her personal journey, Sonia launched MenoRise to provide women with the tools, knowledge, and community they need to thrive during this transformative life stage.

We’re here to create a world where menopause is seen as a time of strength and possibility, not something to be endured in silence. Together, we can break the stigma, spark conversations, and empower women everywhere to rise.

Together, We Rise.
