About Us – Mean & Menopausal
Welcome to Mean & Menopausal, the bold, unfiltered, Gen-X powered brand creating the most unforgettable funny midlife gifts and real-life stories for women who want humor served with honesty. This is where sarcasm meets sisterhood and where midlife women finally get merch, community, and information that actually speak to us.
Our Story
Mean & Menopausal started with one Gen-X woman, a whole lot of lived experience, and a lifelong love of purple. After decades of being known as “the woman who always wears purple,” I realized that most brands aren’t speaking to real midlife women — the ones who are smart, sarcastic, overwhelmed, hilarious, hormonal, and absolutely done with pretending.
Every design, every product, and every post is inspired by something I’ve personally lived through. I have a resting bitch face. Mexican food and margaritas are my passion. My tolerance for stupidity and lack of common sense is basically non-existent. And I express myself best with humor, truth, and a well-timed smart-ass comment. My I.D.G.A.F. attitude? Completely earned.
That spirit is in every one of our funny midlife gifts.

Our Values
Realness. No sugarcoating.
Humor. Laughter keeps us going.
Community. Women supporting women.
Expression. Say what you feel without apology.
Creativity. Designs pulled from life.
Connection. Because none of us should navigate midlife alone.
Behind the Designs
My designs come straight from real-life experiences — the dry humor, the late-night “Is this normal?” thoughts, the cravings, the chaos, the eye rolls, and the moments I know other women will relate to instantly.
I’m inspired by everyday life, the things we whisper to friends, and the moments we joke about because laughing is sometimes the only option. If I’ve lived it, rolled my eyes at it, Googled it at 2 a.m., or said it under my breath, chances are it became a design.
Everything is created with honesty, attitude, and the kind of humor midlife women appreciate. That’s why our funny midlife gifts feel so real — because they are.
Our Blog: Stories We Were Never Told
Mean & Menopausal isn’t just merchandise. It’s also a growing library of blogs and personal stories about the real things women go through in perimenopause and menopause — the things nobody warned us about.
I write about everything I had to discover on my own:
- The unexpected symptoms
- The emotional shifts
- The physical chaos
- The random surprises nobody prepares you for
- The strange-but-normal moments we all secretly Google
These stories exist because I genuinely care.
Women deserve honest information, real experiences, humor, and connection — not confusion. The blog is my way of sharing everything I wish someone had told me earlier, delivered with compassion, clarity, and a touch of sarcasm.
If my writing helps one woman feel seen, understood, or a little less alone, then it’s absolutely worth it.
