What Happens When Women Say the Quiet Parts Out Loud in Menopause

The We Do Not Care Club did not begin as a movement. It began as honesty.

On The Tamsen Show podcast, Melani Sanders explains that she hit record without a plan. She spoke candidly about exhaustion, anxiety, body changes, and feeling overwhelmed. She said the things many women censor to stay acceptable.

The response was immediate and overwhelming. Women recognized themselves in her words and what followed was not advice or solutions, but connection.

Community matters deeply during menopause because suffering often happens in silence. Melani’s openness created a space where women could compare experiences, laugh at what once felt embarrassing, and admit they were struggling without being judged.

This kind of honesty does not require every woman to share publicly. It creates permission. Permission to listen, to speak, or simply to feel less alone.

When women hear their private thoughts spoken out loud, isolation loses its grip. What replaces it is recognition, and often relief.
