The Truth About Perimenopause*
It’s heavy, isn’t it?
But these aren’t just numbers.
They’re real women. Real stories. Women like you. Women like us.
Strong Women, Silent Struggles
These are the women who have built careers, nurtured families, and pursued dreams—women who have overcome challenges every step of the way.
Yet, when it comes to perimenopause, their battles are often invisible.
We hear about the physical symptoms—hot flushes, bloating, changes in libido.
But what about the emotional toll?
- The moments spent sitting alone, feeling like the world is closing in.
- The panic of forgetting words in the middle of a meeting you’re leading.
- The heartbreak of relationships strained by misunderstanding and confusion.
- The fear of not knowing what’s happening to your body—or why.
These aren’t just symptoms. They’re stories.
Stories that need to be told.
At Valerie, We’re Changing the Narrative
We’re here to start the conversation, to break the silence, and to dismantle the stigma surrounding perimenopause.
To show women that they are not alone and that there is a community of us ready to love and support them.
We want to give women the tools and support to reclaim their health, take back control, and advocate for themselves at every stage of perimenopause.
We see you

*data from a survey of 63 women who shared their perimenopause experience.
This is Jo's story.
"I went to the GP and said I don’t recognise the person that I am."
We talk about perimenopause being a time of change, but in the majority of cases this refers to physical changes, bodily changes, and hormonal changes.
But often the biggest cost for women, is the emotional side.
3 in 4 women feel that perimenopause has had a negative impact on their lives, especially in terms of their sense of self.
When Jo became perimenopausal her whole identity shifted. She went from someone who could cope with anything head-on, to being anxious and unsure.
Jo. We See You.
This is Paulette's story.
“When I was enduring the worst of perimenopause, I absolutely hated myself.”
This is a heartbreaking statement; however, it is a feeling that far too many of us are familiar with.
1 in 2 women feel they've lost their sense of self during perimenopause.
Maintaining a sense of self-confidence while going through perimenopause can feel impossible alone.
This is why we need each other, as Paulette puts so beautifully, as a tag team to lift each other up.
Perimenopause often makes us lose sight of ourselves, while we have no trouble seeing the beauty and strength of the women around us.
Paulette. We See You.
This is Ahlya's story.
“If you saw that your friend, or your sister was feeling vulnerable, you would never be hard on them.”
60% of women report overwhelming anxiety.
For some, it’s a shadow—a whisper of uncertainty or self-doubt.
For others, it’s overwhelming, even crippling, affecting every corner of life—your relationships, your career, your sense of self.
And yet, too often, it’s dismissed. Minimised. Ignored.
This is what happened to Ahlya, a CEO of a thriving fashion brand. Behind the success and strength, anxiety crept in, stealing her confidence and leaving her questioning both her competence and capability and also her identity.
Ahlya. We See You.
This is Stef’s story
“I was watching the world happen above me, but I wasn’t really there.”
72% of women believe intense societal stigma surrounds perimenopause.
Stef was in her 30s when she entered a surgical menopause that left her feeling isolated, hopeless, with nowhere to turn and no one to relate to.
Together with Stef, we are working to change the narrative so that another generation of women do not have to go through the bleakness that she and so many other women have gone through during perimenopause.
Stef. We See You.
