First of all — if you’re feeling overwhelmed, you’re not alone.
Menopause can feel like a lot: the physical shifts, the emotional waves, the mental load — all while juggling careers, families, and everyday life. It’s no wonder so many women tell us they feel like they don’t even know where to start.
The truth is, you don’t need to have it all figured out today. Small steps, simple rituals, and supportive community can make all the difference.

Connect With Women Who Get It
One of the most powerful things you can do early on is surround yourself with others going through the same thing. Whether that’s an in-person group or an online community, having a safe space to share, vent, or ask questions is invaluable.
That’s why we really admire the work of the Menopause Wellness community — and why we’ve made our own Hooda Health Facebook and Instagram pages safe, supportive spaces too. They’re designed to help you feel seen, heard, and less alone.

Start Small, Keep It Simple
When you’re already feeling overwhelmed, the last thing you need is pressure to overhaul your whole life. Big lifestyle changes rarely stick. Gentle, sustainable rituals are the ones that carry you through.
A few of our favourites:
Taking your CBD oil as part of your morning or evening routine.
A few minutes of journaling to release what’s on your mind.
5 minutes of breathwork or meditation to reset your nervous system.
A simple walk, warm bath, or creative hobby — something that’s just for you.
We call this the 1% method: tiny, daily improvements that add up to real, lasting change over time.

Knowledge is Power
If you’re someone who likes to understand the why, research into the endocannabinoid system, CBD, and menopause is growing every year. And when the medical system doesn’t always listen, arming yourself with knowledge helps you advocate for your own care.
We share trusted resources and evidence-based articles on our blog so you can explore at your own pace.

Most Importantly: Be Kind to Yourself
Menopause isn’t a test you have to pass. You don’t need to do everything perfectly. You don’t have to do it alone.
This is a chapter of life — and like all chapters, it’s easier when you have community, care, and compassion (especially for yourself).
And remember: there’s a supportive community right here at Hooda Health, ready to walk alongside you.
