Episode 182 - From Silence to Spotlight: Menopause and the Rise of Womaness with co-founder, Michelle Jacobs
In this episode, we talk with co-founder and COO of Womaness, Michelle Jacobs.. Womaness is dedicated to providing supplements, skincare, and sexual health solutions for women navigating the challenges of aging.
We discuss how Womaness is changing the conversation around menopause and how the founders recognized a significant gap in the market for clean, effective products that not only work but also come with the necessary education and community support.
We also share the evolving conversation around menopause, noting how societal attitudes have shifted over the past five years, with more women openly discussing their experiences and seeking solutions. Michelle highlighted the importance of understanding perimenopause and menopause, emphasizing that many women are unaware of what to expect during this transitional phase.
Throughout our conversation, Michelle detailed Womaness's product offerings, including their top sellers. She also shared her personal favorites and how the brand aims to support women, whether they choose hormone replacement therapy or prefer natural alternatives.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to better understand the changes that come with aging and to discover products that can help ease the journey. The brand's commitment to community, education, and innovative products is redefining how women approach this stage of life, making it more comfortable and less stigmatized.

About Womaness:
Meet Sally + Michelle
We asked ourselves, ‘Where do women in their 40s, 50s, and beyond go to find solutions when their body begins to change? How can we ensure we age well?’
We met 20 years ago, early in our careers. We became good friends, creative collaborators, and honest sounding boards for each other.
During a catchup a few years back, Sally revealed a doctor visit had surprised her with news that the symptoms of her changing body—aches and pains, vaginal dryness, and dry skin—were related to menopause. After reaching out to friends and colleagues, we realized this scenario was all too common. There was no clear education, support, or modern products for this time in a woman’s life.
So we did something about it.
We created Womaness to modernize aging for women and to help you navigate all the phases as your body changes. We see you, we hear you, we are you. We believe you deserve innovative solutions, essential information, and unlimited inspiration that helps remove any “pause” from this phase and sparks a dynamic outlook that embraces who and where you are today. Symptoms like dry skin, brain fog, hot flashes, sleepless nights, and low libido should not slow you down.
Instead, you should be tapping into your fierceness, your sexiness, your realness, your agelessness, your womaness. Because women at this stage are the coolest, smartest, most interesting women we know. And you deserve to remain as unstoppable as ever.
