Dear Reader,

On the Dear Indie💋column this week, we “SPOTTED” a situation so common, so chaotic, it deserves a full investigation.

The truth is, menopause doesn’t just touch a woman’s body — it shifts her entire world. It asks her to relearn herself while still showing up for everyone else. The same woman who once balanced it all now finds her body rewriting the rules without warning.

So, while I had a little fun with the wordplay, this one’s for every woman quietly navigating the pause and every man learning to pause with her. Because growth doesn’t stop when your cycle does — it just changes rhythm.

What we often forget is that this phase isn’t a breakdown — it’s a recalibration. It’s her system saying, “I’ve carried enough; now it’s time to rest, reset, and rise differently.” And the man in her life? It’s about patience, understanding, and learning how to show up without trying to fix what can’t be fixed — only supported.

Because MEN-ALL-PAUSE isn’t about distance — it’s about adjustment. It’s about finding a new rhythm when the old one stops playing. So if she seems different, she is — and that’s okay. Growth has a way of sounding like change before it feels like peace.

💋Gem: Sometimes the bravest thing a woman can do is pause long enough to hear what her body’s been whispering all along.

xoxo, Dear Indie💋
