It all started when…
my older sister asked me for a tampon. Her period was like a scene from a 90s slasher movie. I handed her my super, non-applicator, organic tampon. She looked at me, rolled her eyes and then burst out laughing. She told me “that won’t last 30 seconds”, still laughing. Over time, she shared with me all the crazy things that were happening to her. I was sooo naive. I’d soon find out.
One day a few years later, I started having heavy, heavy bleeding just like hers. And it continued for days on end. Sure enough, my little super organic tampon was a bust. I moved on to the most super, duper, plus, plus I could find. Those lasted about 30 minutes. I hate when she’s right.
Lucky for me, we talk about stuff. If I hadn’t heard about this (and other) menopause symptoms from her, I would have been scared sh*tless. Because I knew what was happening was “normal”, I didn’t freak out and sought help quickly.
Today, I want everyone to be prepared about what’s coming and be knowledgeable about what happens before and after menopause. And here we are. That is how AlterEgo was born.
We all have the best version of ourselves buried somewhere below all the hormonal, emotional, and physical changes and stresses going on as we age. Remember her? She’s still there. Let’s bring her back – she’s fun.
Love,
