Welcome to my Woman to Woman menopause blog, Fireflies! Over 75% of us face this experience alone, while lacking care. Let’s change that together.

My name is Rovena. I’m a pharmacist and a fellow traveler on this menopause journey. I have a soft spot for the magic of fireflies, which teach us that even in darkness, an inner light persists.

That’s true for us women, too, through all of life’s changes. Whether you’re just starting down this path or know it well, you’re not alone. We come from different places, yet we’re connected by a resilient, luminous spirit – the spirit of the Forever Fireflies.

I want this blog to be a place where people can find strength, help one another, and embrace the unexpected beauty within this transformation. My own story took a twist I never saw coming. But with time and more perspective, I continue finding new solutions with some humor in the mix. I know that the best way to walk this path is together.

Welcome, Fireflies. Let’s share our stories, offer insight and support, and celebrate the surprises (good and challenging) that menopause brings. What’s on your mind today?
