Join my t-shirt project to help make menopause more visible!
Hi, I'm Donna, the designer behind this shop. I appreciate you stopping by to learn the story behind my menopause t-shirt project!
A few years ago, around age 49, I was frustrated with countless doctors and tests telling me there was nothing ‘wrong’ yet I was really struggling to feel like myself. When I started mentioning my symptoms to friends, I was shocked. One-by-one they said the same: “I feel like that too!”
Wait...could it be menopause? Why were we all suffering in silence, trying to figure out what was going on with our bodies, thinking we were going crazy? Why weren’t our doctor’s connecting the dots and talking to us about this major life transition?
And why were we not talking about this to each other?!!!
My mom told me she never talked to me about menopause because “...we were told it’s something you just get on with.” 40 years later, are we seriously still doing this?! How is that even possible? Why are we still not educated and prepared for menopause? Why is it STILL so hard to talk about?!
I had an idea!
What if we stopped the silence and start SHOWING how our menopause transition is making us feel—by wearing fun, relatable t-shirts? The cheeky tees would act as ice breakers, to help us find others in our communities who might be feeling the same.
Fast forward to today, I’m so fired-up to help women everywhere start making menopause more visible, spark conversations and help break the stigma!
So join me and my project!
My Etsy shop is stocked and I upload new tees every week. Find a tee that relates, wear it, talk about it, share it! Let’s stop “just getting on with it”—and start getting through it, together.
Buy a tee + vent with me!
