Menopause is something that all women go through as they age but it's not something that we have always talked about. There was a time when discussion about the change of life was kept behind closed kitchen doors. Then celebrities started talking about it in the media and we became a society that freely shares information to assist other women in navigating the change more comfortably.

Celebrities continue to play an important role in raising awareness about menopause issues. One who spoke about the topic recently was Janice Dickinson. This is great because it shines light on the fact that every type of woman goes through this change. We expect Oprah to discuss menopause but it's not as common to hear about it from a former supermodel. Dickinson recently shared that she's had issues with menopause and hormone replacement therapy:

"I'm taking hormone pills and I mix them up, I'm like falling asleep standing up," she laughed. "I'm having night flashes and heat strokes." (source)

All women have to deal with menopause; we might as well all be talking about it!
