Freelance writer Sarah Connor was 46 when her usually trustworthy body started misbehaving. Anxiety, panic attacks, loss of joy and lack of sleep saw her undertake an investigation into just what the hell was happening. She visited a litany of specialists before finally settling on a visit to the Wellington Menopause Clinic that changed her life.

Once diagnosed and using HRT to amazing effect, Sarah realised she had to spread the word and so Menopause Over Martinis was born on World Menopause Day 2020. It is a movement that encourages others to hold their own potluck dinner parties, or any gathering, and spread crucial menopause information. In two years the public Facebook page has swelled to over 2600 members and is a great hub for chat, solidarity and information sharing. Sarah has featured on Radio NZ, in various books around menopause and is now making regular presentations to business gatherings around menopause/ruahinetanga.

One conversation at a time, her mission is for everyone to feel more informed, understood and supported during this normal, inevitable and important stage of life. She and Penny chatted about her fabulous relationship with her body, her incredible gratitude to her partner and family, her getting used to being the one in the spotlight, and how martinis aren't mandatory.
