Becoming Menopoised

Gloria Smythe is a fashion designer and takes life with both hands in being bold in embracing the change of menopause - stylishly and confidently.   Having worked with multiple women to help them regain their confidence through what they wear and finding their style, Gloria has enabled many to go from feeling like a hot mess to feeling like themselves again.  Gloria knows first hand that holding onto the past with your wardrobe - saving those clothes that simply don't fit anymore, prevents you from being present, which can hold you back more than you would believe.  With her mantra to 'get up and show up', Gloria's wardrobe detox and back to basics approach can boost the confidence of every woman going through change.

We love it when a woman on a mission makes such an impact and that is an understatement when that woman is Rebekah Brown. Turned away by her GP because she was ‘too young’ to have symptoms of menopause, Rebekah she found herself trawling the aisles of the local health food store, staring at a vast range of products and ingredients she knew nothing about – faced with imagery that certainly didn’t represent her or her friends. Curiosity cut through the brain fog. And applying her creative, research investigator mind, Rebekah looked further into the bio-chemical changes the female body goes through in menopause and what vitamins we all need at each stage, regardless of symptoms. Armed with insight, Rebekah took things into her own hands and MPowder was born. She is now on a mission to reframe midlife and deliver the community, services and co-created product range to help women everywhere. With the rallying cry to help women make menopause their superpower.
