This special BONUS EPISODE, entitled Stronger Together, is the epilogue to our special nine-part series. It's a closing conversation where our hosts Julie Flakstad & Dr. Taz Bhatia welcomed Womaness co-founders, Sally Mueller and Michelle Jacobs, to explore the importance of community and connection in midlife, their thoughts + reflections on the series overall and why they were so passionate about supporting it.The conversation touches on how Womaness, a brand built for women by women, fosters community and trust, including a private Facebook Group called The After Party where over 9,000 women connect + share their insights and experiences about midlife. We also discuss the complex paradigm of women supporting women and why that sometimes feels difficult - both in life and in business.We also take a valuable look back on the series, leaving listeners with valuable insights from key episodes and share more on what's ahead for The Midlife Truth Project.About Our Guests:Sally Mueller and Michelle Jacobs met over 20 years ago. They became good friends early in their careers, creative collaborators, and honest sounding boards for each other. During a catchup a few years ago, Sally shared she'd been experiencing a variety of symptoms—aches and pains, vaginal dryness, and dry skin—and was surprised to learn that these were all related to menopause. After reaching out to friends and colleagues, they realized that this scenario was all too common. There was no clear education, support, or modern products for this time in a woman's life.So they did something about it. Leveraging their combined skills and experiences, they created Womaness, the leading women's wellness brand, to modernize aging for women and to help them navigate their changing bodies with innovative products and solutions, essential information, and unlimited inspiration.Connect with Our Hosts and Conversation Partner!Womanesshttps://womaness.com/Instagram @mywomanessFacebook @mywomanessJulie Flakstadhttps://julieflakstad.com/ Instagram @julieflakstad Facebook @thejulieflakstadDr. Taz BhatiaYouTube: @DrTazMDInstagram: @drtazmdWebsite: doctortaz.comOrder The Hormone Shift book HEREPractice - Centre Spring MD: https://centrespringmd.com/ Thanks so much for tuning in!

This is episode (9) of our special nine-part series entitled Connect The Dots. Our hosts Julie Flakstad & Dr. Taz Bhatia welcome serial entrepreneur, visionary and dedicated philanthropist Sara Blakely. As the founder of Spanx, a now billion-dollar global brand that revolutionized women's apparel and, more recently, Sneex, the world's first high-heel sneaker, Sara shares her midlife journey as a time of transformation and growth. She highlights the importance of mindset, intuition, and carving out moments for self-connection, all of which have guided her major decisions in life, including selling Spanx. She also gives valuable advice + insight on how to embrace fear and stay connected to one's "why" - especially in midlife.Here are some key themes + takeaways …Midlife as a "Chrysalis":  Rather than seeing midlife as a crisis, Sara sees it as a transformative period of shedding, growth and inner reflection, where ego-driven motivations give way to purpose-driven ones driven more by spirit.The Power of Visualization: Sara shares her approach on visualization where she focuses on creating mental space for her mind to wander, daydream and allowing ideas to surface naturally.Connecting with Intuition: From an early age, Sara explains how she learned to connect with herself, embrace intuition and manifest what she wants. She talks openly about her ongoing process of becoming intentional and clear about key decisions as well as asking the universe for specific signs to guide her.Overcoming Fear: “The only way to overcome your fear, is to do it,” Sara says, explaining that continues to be committed to saying YES to challenging situations that could be embarrassing. Embarrassing situations become funny, vulnerable stories, she explains, and these experiences make us more resilient and allow us to embrace our imperfections.Struggling with Perimenopause: Sara opens up about her own vulnerable experience and confusion dealing with perimenopause including extreme hormone fluctuations, sleep struggles, massive weight fluctuations and severe emotional lows. Philanthropy and Purpose-Driven Work: Passionately dedicated to empowering women, she talks about her personal, and at times playful, approach to philanthropy, including lending out her wedding dress to women during COVID, creating a "wedding dress sisterhood."About Our Guest, Sara BlakelySara Blakely is a serial entrepreneur and the visionary founder of Spanx, a brand that revolutionized women's shapewear by turning her personal frustration with traditional hosiery into an innovative solution. Beyond her business, Blakely is committed to empowering women globally through her Sara Blakely Foundation, and became the first female billionaire to join the Giving Pledge, promising to donate at least half her wealth to charity. Today, she continues to inspire as an investor on Shark Tank, a frequent speaker, and a champion for women achieving their dreams, all while aiming to create the world's most comfortable high-heel shoe, Sneex.Connect with Our Hosts and Conversation Partner!Sara BlakelySpanx  Sneex Sara Blakely FoundationSpeakingModern Elder Academy   Instagram: @sarablakely Julie Flakstadhttps://julieflakstad.com/ Instagram @julieflakstadFacebook @thejulieflakstadDr. Taz BhatiaYouTube: @DrTazMDInstagram: @drtazmdWebsite: doctortaz.comOrder The Hormone Shift book HEREPractice - Centre Spring MD: https://centrespringmd.com/ Tune in next Wednesday, 11/20, when we drop our bonus episode to this special (9) part series, called “Stronger Together” with Womaness co-founders, Sally Mueller and Michelle Jacobs.

A lot of women come to us and say, ‘I'm just so frustrated my doctor's not helping me. I can't seem to get the right help.' And you just you have to really demand for answers, and if you're not getting answers, you need to change doctors.”“Women's Health is still very underfunded and I think female founders are still very underfunded.”“Every twist and turn to your career, even if you feel like it's a sideways move, can really help you grow. I've always kind of let my career be this zigzag career.” Connect with SallyWebsite: www.womaness.com Instagram: @mywomanessInstagram: @thesallym LinkedIn: Sally MuellerLinkedIn: WomanessFacebook: Womaness Connect with AllisonInterested in working together?

When I first introduced you to Sally Mueller in the Spring of 2022, her company, Womaness was just ramping up. But, in addition to changing the conversation around menopause, according to a recent article in Women's Wear Daily, Womaness Founders Sally Mueller and Michelle Jacobs set out to start their brand's third fundraise a bit differently. They're working with three LA based investors—Carol Cheng, Annie Belanger and Ellen Chen to form a special purpose vehicle. By doing this, women of all ages and investor experience were able to come to the cap table with checks ranging from $5,000 to $50,000—ultimately raising Womaness $1MM—and the brand is still raising. Womaness aims to create a community full of inspired women who embrace menopositvity. This is a story I love because it is one rooted in what I believe is a brand's greatest asset—their community.

Every woman has or will go through menopause in their lives, so why is there such a gap in information and lack of education and products on the market that are clean and accessible to women? We don't have the answer to this question, but we do have a solution.On today's episode, we welcome our guest Sally Mueller, founder of Womaness from Minneapolis, Minnesota. Coming from a long and successful career in fashion and design with Target, to building her own company in skin care, Sally's vision changed after going through the life altering experience of menopause.

So she took it upon herself to create Womaness to put clean and innovative products on the market to help nurture and essentially celebrate women at this stage in life. Sally's goal is to make sure her head to toe products are affordable and accessible, so all women can benefit from her clinically proven solutions to a natural part of being a woman.Sally is trailblazer in women's health where she has created a community around her products while providing education around menopause to help women around the world.If you are a woman, this episode is for you.

"Companies collaborate in the menopause space to make a difference"Sally Mueller and Michelle Jacobs are the co-founders of Womaness - a new brand covering the menopause market in the United States. They've worked for huge US brands like Target, Pfizer and the shopping TV network HSN. But as Sally asks, "Why was I creating all these brands for millennials? Why am I not tackling this space for women like me?" They're on a mission to spread some - as they call it - 'menopositivity' into the world.Plus, the Effin Hormones gang discuss the importance of checking your boobs and bits, to keep yourself healthy.

My guest on today's episode is Sally Mueller, CEO and founder of the Womaness brand with her co-founder Michelle Jacobs. Sally talks about her own journey through menopause, and her dawning realisation that with her understanding of the retail industry she could create some much more appealing options than the lacklustre products recommended by her own doctor at the time. We talk about why and how Womaness chose to develop specific products to tackle the issues we might face in menopause and why the products we're used to using might not work for us at this time of life.  We touch also on the community that Womaness is trying to build - both through their 'After Party' community on Facebook, and through live events this October in celebration of Menopause Awareness Month.  Tune in to find out what one thing Sally wishes she had known before going through menopause...

Sally Mueller was tired, irritable, had mood swings and dry skin but put it all down to travelling for work and perhaps being a little burnt out. She then discovered she had early onset osteoporosis and was in Perimenopause. Her search for remedies and solutions was so disheartening that she decided to take on the Menopause space and renovate it from the ground up. She and Michelle Jacobs, created Womaness and they take their responsibility to help and support women very seriously. In this episode, Sally shares her experience, her ‘aha' moment and how she is working to Modernise Menopause, spark Menopositivity and take care of Sleep, Skin and Sexual Wellness for women across the globe. “We do want to celebrate it and talk about it.” PLUS you can join the Womaness team throughout the month of October on their Menopositivity Tour - tune in to find out more.

She then left to help other companies create strategic partnerships to build their brand presence, including Who What Wear, where she launched the activewear line JoyLab and incubated the skincare line Versed. A few years ago, Sally was shocked to find that beauty and wellness companies weren't addressing symptoms of menopause in a modern way and set out to fill that void with Womaness.  Episode Resources: Womaness https://womaness.com/ (Website) Download this episode of For Your Listening Pleasure wherever you get your podcasts!

As brand builder Sally Mueller entered perimenopause and all of the symptoms that go with it, she found that the products available on the market were all things she definitely would not be putting in her body. The menopause market was antiquated and obviously designed by men. She did not see herself in the products offered.So she and her partner in business, Michelle Jacobs, created and started the Womaness brand. Womaness is a high-performance collection of modern menopause products created by women for women that offer symptom solutions from head to toe.  Not only have they worked to create innovative products, but are working hard to build community as they educate and inform as many as possible as a push to Modernize Menopause, something that is long, long overdue.In this episode we discuss Sally's story and the Womaness Brand and Products, as well as, The momentum of the menopause revolutionThe menopause conversationThe realization that menopause is just a transitionThe difficulty of advertising Female Sexual Health ProductsAnti-Aging vs. Pro-AgingThe Menopositivity of being in MenopauseThe menopause legacy we are leaving for our daughtersBeing in charge and in control of your own menopause journeyLearn more about Womaness, take their menopause quiz and start your menopause education at  https://womaness.com/Join The After Party: https://www.facebook.com/groups/womanesstheafterparty/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mywomaness/Purchase Womaness Products on their website or at the following: Target: https://www.target.com/b/womaness/-/N-q643le8b1wiUlta: https://www.ulta.com/brand/womaness?catargetid=330000200002232598&CAPCID=439726527025&CATCI=dsa-967108655007&CAAGID=100201822457&CADevice=c&gclid=CjwKCAjwq5-WBhB7EiwAl-HEkixmCo3NXjg1AmUJ-o3Yt4G-U1PO6P71Mgu1Jg0eIm5AQSapbOr30BoCeyAQAvD_BwEAmazon: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Womaness/Homepage/page/4159E1CE-D4AF-4A29-B8B7-7DAB4B68D9EDI love that you have found this podcast and do hope that you will FOLLOW or SUBSCRIBE in order to continue your quest for menopositivity.

Hi everyone! Doone here - your host and hype girl. Thanks for tuning in to my solo episode this week. I'm recording this from my little hotel room in sunny New York city and I'm feeling so grateful to be in this beautiful city. Today, I want to dive into a topic that I know is going to be relevant for every single one of you listening in. And that's the topic of female health. Women have been underserved by the healthcare industry for a really damn long time. But now finally, with more women in STEM, and more female entrepreneurial disrupters, the future of femtech is looking bright.  Firstly, we learn from Dr. Amy Divaraniya, the founder of Oova, an incredibly innovative women's health company. Amy has more than 10 years of experience as a data scientist and has both led and published original research in the areas of personal genomics and biomarker discovery. Next, I introduce Nadya Okamoto from August. Or you might know her better as the “period girl”. August is the lifestyle period brand that makes sustainable period care that actually works. And Nadya is one of those women that is impossible not to be impressed by and excited about. She's a Harvard grad, author, speaker, NGO founder, gen z marketing agency founder and now august as well as a TikToker that's grown to 2.4 million followers. Thirdly, I dive into the story of Bethany Edwards and her creation Lia, the world's first flushable pregnancy test. Lia is an earth-friendly healthcare company on a mission to revolutionize reproductive health through the development of innovative products. The company's first product, which came to market just last year, is the FDA cleared Lia pregnancy test. Next I'm introducing you to Alexandra Fine, a real favourite from the show, and one of the women behind Dame. Dame is leading a sexual wellness revolution as a women-powered resource for game-changing products for pleasure and supportive content.  Our fifth story is that of Krystal Duhaney the Founder of Milky Mama. After having her second child and returning to work, Krystal struggled with her milk supply and realized that there were very few resources for breastfeeding mothers in the same predicament. So, in November of 2015, Milky Mama was born. Today, Milky Mama is dedicated to educating, supporting and empowering parents to have the best breastfeeding journey possible. I next introduce you to another woman modernizing sustainable period care, Cherie Hoeger with Saalt. In 2018, Saalt launched its flagship product—the Saalt period cup—with the vision of making cleaner, more sustainable period care accessible to everyone. Last but not least, I want to shine a light on Sally Mueller and her company Womaness. Womaness is a collection of modern, innovative menopause products developed for women, by women that offer solutions from head to toe, and everything in between.  These are all stories that have really stuck with me in the last year, an incredible little bank of inspiration, and if I can pass that feeling onto even just one of you today that's a mission very much accomplished. Let's get straight to it! This is me, for Female Startup Club.

Even though women spend almost a third of their lives in menopause, it has always been an uncommon topic of conversation. Following her own menopausal experience, Sally Mueller was on a mission to help other women through their own transitions. After a successful twenty-year career with Target, Sally leveraged her extensive experience in the retail space to start her own company. Today, she is a Co-Founder of Womanes, a brand that is centered around normalizing the conversation about menopause by providing women with innovate products that offer solutions for every need. Growing up, Sally spent much of her time helping her mom grow her business in the beauty industry, so having an impact on the way women felt about themselves has always been on the forefront of Sally's mind. After leaving her corporate career, Sally reinvented herself twice. Starting with a branding agency, Sally ultimately used her expertise to build a brand of her own. Passionate about the gap in menopausal education, Sally took it upon herself to team up with medical experts and create a line of products that touch on every stage of menopause. Womaness aims to create a community full of inspired women who embrace menopositvity. Tune into this episode of Dear FoundHer… to learn more about the importance of utilizing experts, leaning on your network, and creating a brand that allows you to form a deep connection with your customers. Quotes • “We're trying to change the conversation around menopause and women's health. We are excited at the response because women are saying, “hallelujah, finally someone's addressing this space, and I finally feel like I have a brand for me.” (22:21-22:32) • “From the beginning we've said, we're going to invest in experts. We're going to interview experts and have experts co-create content for us. And we're really doubling down on that piece because it's been so important and so popular.” (26:08-26:26) • “Going from the corporate world to your own business is a big adjustment. It makes you better at doing the work. In the big jobs you direct the work, but you forget how the work is done.” (42:07-42:28) • “I always say to lean on your network because there's so many people that helped me along the way. I think it's really important to not feel like you're going out about this on your own.” (43:37-43:49) Connect with Sally Mueller: Instagram | http://www.instagram.com/mywomaness Website | https://womaness.com/ Please don't forget to rate, comment, and subscribe to Dear FoundHer on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts!

On this episode of the Busine$$ of the V, hosts Dr. Dweck and Rachel ramp up a conversation that has burst forth in recent years. No more is menopause a whispered word, suitable only for the gynecologist's office. With some 20 percent of women in the U.S. at some stage of menopause — many of them in the workforce — it was time to break the silence, which is just what Michelle Jacobs and Sally Mueller, the co-founders of Womaness, have done. As CEO and COO respectively, Sally and Michelle are all about taking the “pause” out of menopause. Their Womaness platform was developed specifically to provide modern, innovative products, essential information and unlimited inspiration to women transitioning through this stage. The overarching goal is to spark a radiant, dynamic outlook based on treatment options and education. They call it “menopositivity.” Womaness' complement of products zeroes in on a range of menopausal issues because every woman's journey is different. They believe symptoms like hot flashes, brain fog, fine lines, vaginal dryness, low libido, and bladder leaks should not slow anyone down. Their products are carefully vetted, backed by clinical data and made of clean ingredients. The centerpiece of this vision is the role that community has to play. They want Womaness to be a “first line of defense” for women in search of science-based, cutting-age information. Their platform is built not just to sell products (which are also available online and at a variety of retail outlets, like GNC and Target), but also to advance discussion through Facebook meetups, a newsletter, social media posts and Q&A's hosted by trusted medical authorities. It's been a major leap for Sally and Michelle, whose careers were previously within traditional corporate environments. Hear all about their wild entrepreneurial ride and the in-the-trenches camaraderie that has kept their team going strong.

“We're creating products that, not only do we want to use, but we think our community wants to use.”   Sally Mueller is the Co-founder and CEO of Womaness, modern menopause solutions from top to toe.   She is a seasoned executive with impeccable entrepreneurial acumen. Sally spent over two decades of her career at Target Corporation, first in Apparel Merchandising and then in Marketing, helping to build the bullseye from a regional discount retailer to one of the world's most recognized and influential global brands. She developed and implemented Target's designer program and Design for All platform, transforming the regional discount retailer into a global phenomenon.   Sally went on to launch her own company, Whyse Branding, where she formed a licensing relationship with Who What Wear and successfully launched the consumer products line in Target stores and ultimately achieved international distribution. She was then named Chief Brand Officer for Clique Brands, overseeing their Consumer Brands Division, where she launched Joy Lab at Target, incubated VERSED skincare and expanded Who What Wear internationally.   Sally's encore is creating a revolutionary consumer hit with the introduction of Womaness (which debuted in March 2021), a brand that is changing the conversation around menopause through innovative products that offer solutions from head to toe (and everything in-between), readily avail via Target.   Womaness provides trusted advice on symptoms from hot flashes to sleep issues to fine lines, and support from an inspired community of women who don't believe in the pause (of menopause) and exude #menopositivity, aka a dynamic, joyful outlook that embraces who we are today.   A lifelong Minnesotan, Sally, and her husband reside outside of Minneapolis, slowly acclimating to life as empty nesters.   Follow Sally on Instagram, Twitter, and LinkedIn.   Visit Womaness at Womaness.com.

Sally Mueller CEO of Womaness joins the show in honor of International Women's day! She gives us tips and resources for female entrepreneurs!

As the co-founder and CEO of Womaness, Sally Mueller is determined to shift the menopause narrative through a high-performance collection of modern products created by women for women and a community that provides unlimited inspiration.

She then left to help other companies create strategic partnerships to build their brand presence, including at Who What Wear, where she launched the activewear line JoyLab and incubated the skincare line Versed.

Description: Women out there: Do you know how your life is sure to change? Menopause is called “The Change” for a reason. It's nothing to bury your head about. The secret to fighting helplessness or fear is empowerment and nothing empowers like knowledge. Sally Mueller, co-founder of Womaness.com, and Dr. Ekta Kapoor, Mayo Clinic endocrinologist and menopause expert, are pioneering the menopositivity movement through education, community support and products designed specifically to address the needs of women in perimenopause and menopause. They go through what to expect, how to prepare, the importance of education, treatments available, changing the message, and more. This is a must listen for women - and men - of all ages. The earlier you're prepared, the better off the future will be. // If you have questions or guest suggestions, Ali would love to hear from you. Call or text her at (323) 364-6356.

Sally Mueller got inspired to become an entrepreneur as she entered menopause. A seasoned executive who launched dozens of successful lifestyle brands, product lines, and designer partnerships for big companies including Target and Clique Brands, she was shocked to find that beauty and wellness companies weren't addressing symptoms of menopause in a modern way and set out to fill that void with Womaness. Launched as an omnichannel brand in 2021, the Womaness product line includes vaginal moisturizer, the “Gone in a Hot Flash” cooling mist, dietary supplements and serum. “I think a lot of women are saying, ‘finally.'” says Mueller, who has a co-founder, fellow retail veteran Michelle Jacobs. Market watchers peg women in menopause to represent an opportunity of $150 billion or more. Mueller takes us through the process of building an omnichannel consumer brand from naming it and setting the brand pillars to raising money and navigating supply chain challenges. "I think a lot of the innovation happens after you launch. That's when it takes true grit. What you thought in your Power Point deck was going to work doesn't always work," Mueller says. "Once you launch, how do you navigate the learnings? that's when innovation happens."  Launching a CPG brand requires art and science, she says. “You have to think of it as a funnel. Customers coming in at the top may have seen [the brand] on tv, or in a magazine, so they come in aware, but then how do you bring them all the way through the purchase journey? How do you get them from awareness to conversion? And how do you retain them as a customer. A lot of art that goes into this; it's not all science.” For some perspective on becoming an entrepreneur over 50, we go Back to the Classroom with the University of St. Thomas Schulze School of Entrepreneurship where Laura Dunham in associate dean. “Entrepreneurship can happen at any point in your life,” Dunham says, pointing out that the median age of new founders is 42 and the fastest growing segment of entrepreneurs are age 54 to 64. Dunham details four essential components to entrepreneurship for founders of all ages: 1. Start with yourself. Know what you know, who you know, and what you're good at. Think: what am I noticing out there Where could things be better? 2. Get close to your customers. Talk to them—focus groups, surveys, one on one interviews. What would be a meaningful solution? Test your ideas. 3. Remember that building a brand is about learning and growing. "Your business plan is never going to work out in real life," Dunham says. "There are so many things you can't anticipate until it's out in the marketplace. It's all about execution: Learning, responding, continually innovating to meet new needs." 4. It takes grit. "You need energy and a willingness to never take no for an answer. "

They're calling it a menopause movement. It's inevitable for women and it's something we don't talk about nearly enough....yet. So, Sally Mueller and Michelle Jacobs have begun to modernize menopause with Womaness. Today, Sally joins Maria to explain how her personal experience with symptoms and lack of information and acceptable products lead to the brand launch. It's not that we don't know it exists, but we don't know what it can look like in our own lives. She also talks about why people today, with information at their fingertips, still know so little about the topic. Finally, she shares how women can take back control of their health and hormones regardless of age. This is not just a conversation for women approaching menopause; it's for everyone.Check out all of the MOM2MOM episodes: nbcboston.com/mom-2-momFollow along on Social: @thehubtoday & @mariasansoneFollow along with Womaness: @mywomanessSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Over 50 million women in the US are menopausal, yet, there is still a lack of education and awareness around menopausal symptoms and treatment options. Why is society still not ready to talk openly (and without shame or stigma!) about menopause and its symptoms? The latest episode of the HerVoice podcast is focused on talking all things menopause with Womaness founders Sally Mueller and Michelle Jacobs. We're talking symptoms, treatment options, cultural views on menopause, and menopause as the (not so silent) glass ceiling. Women are in the prime of their lives when they experience menopause - why are we not celebrating this time and giving women the information they need to treat their symptoms so they can live their lives to the fullest. As Sally and Michelle say, it's the afterparty, and we at HerMD can't think of a better way to reframe the conversation around menopause.

Michelle Jacobs and Sally Mueller met 20 years ago and soon became friends, creative collaborators, and honest sounding boards for one another. Many years later, Sally shared that she discovered her recent aches and pains, vaginal dryness, and dry skin were all connected to menopause. The pair reached out to friends and colleagues and realized this was all too common, particularly for women in their 40s, 50s, and beyond. So, the two founded Womaness, a high-performance collection of modern menopause products by women, for women that offer solutions from head to toe (and everything in between).

Have you ever had a conversation with your mother or your grandmother about her experiences with menopause? Chances are, if you're identify as a man or if you haven't neared menopause yet, the answer is "no." I had my first conversation with my mom about menopause after aSweatLife hosted a panel on women's health featuring fertility, women's health and birth control specialists. I learned an incredible amount about her health - and according to Dr. Roohi Jeelani who spoke at that panel - my own future."The clearest indication of when you'll reach menopause is when your mom and her mom did." I had absolutely no idea when that had happened.And that quiet we-don't-talk-about-this-here attitude led to the dearth of products and knowledge being shared as Sally Mueller entered menopause. She went to a doctor at the Mayo Clinic - she lives nearby in Minnesota - who recommended products that looked and felt sterile, medical and boring.She'd spent her career creating products that fit into holes in the market and she felt in her core that this was another big opportunity. Today, not only does Womaness create luxurious skincare for face, neck and body, they're also pioneering products built for sexual health and feminine health for women experiencing perimenopause and menopause."We built a line around the major symptoms of menopause ... almost every women goes through a lot of skin changes during menopause because of the loss of estrogen. So we have seven different skews just in skin and body. Our most famous one is "Let's Neck," which is a neck and décolletage serum which is great with this cooling rolling ball." Mueller explained as she talked through the creams, lotions and potions you can find at Target and on Womaness.com.But another huge piece of Womaness's mission is having the conversations that so many women have had behind closed doors or in hushed tones with doctors, except Womaness is doing it on a really big platform in a really loud voice. The brand's blog, The Ness and Facebook group "The After Party" are there to serve that mission.Let's Neck. The Ness. The After Party. They're great at branding. And that cute and clever language is by design, Mueller told me. She'd worked on millennial brands and didn't see a single reason why the fun she was having in creating the look, feel, and love she was building for those brands couldn't apply to Womaness too.After speaking to Sally a couple of times, I've come to think of Womaness as a really beautiful, accessible suite of products that's also owning "the talk" for menopause. And thank goodness they are. Imagine if no one talked to you about getting your period, and you just had to whisper until you found a friend who had gone through it too.Yikes.References:Find Womaness at Target and on Womaness.comGet the Night Cream that is beloved by women of all agesFollow @MyWomaness on InstagramGrace and Frankie: I had to reference Grace and Frankie when Sally mentioned the vibrator and personal lubricant Womaness created.
