Gen X Women and Menopause: Survive and Thrive Like We Did in the 80s

We’re Gen X Women — Built to Survive, Ready to Thrive Through Menopause

Gen X women and menopause have something in common: both are wild, unpredictable, and demand resilience. We survived the chaos of the 80s and 90s — no helmets, no cell phones, just grit and instinct. Now, that same spirit can help us navigate menopause with strength and confidence.

At Navigate Menopause, I help Gen X women take control of menopause symptoms with education, emotional mastery, and lifestyle tools.



Remember Those Wild Teenage Years?

We were latchkey kids, drinking from garden hoses, roller-skating without helmets, and sneaking into movie theaters. We hung out at the mall with no supervision and made questionable fashion choices — and we thrived. A 2021 Atlantic article even highlights how Gen X teens took more risks than Boomers.

That rebellious, adaptable energy made us who we are.



How Gen X Grit Helps Us Conquer Menopause

Perimenopause and menopause symptoms can feel intense — hot flashes, mood swings, insomnia, and brain fog. But guess what? If we could handle teenage chaos, we can handle this too.

  • Hot flashes? Like dancing all night and sweating through a concert.
  • Brain fog? We survived road trips with paper maps and payphones.
  • Mood swings? Been there, done that, in teenage bedrooms with slammed doors.

Menopause is just another wild ride — and we’re ready for it.
