The Chrysalis Journal—

Created for women in perimenopause and menopause, The Chrysalis Journal is a space to feel seen, supported, and informed. This isn’t just a blog — it’s a place to explore the real stories, symptoms, and shifts that come with this stage of life, together.

Here, we talk about it all: the hormonal ups and downs, the evolving relationship with our skin, the questions we wish we’d asked sooner. From skincare rituals that nourish and protect to wellness, travel, health news, makeup, and curated product finds, we aim to bring clarity, connection, and beauty to this new chapter.

Our name honors the chrysalis — a symbol of transformation, resilience, and renewal. Just as the butterfly emerges with grace, we believe perimenopause and menopause can be full of radiance, possibility, and power.
Inside, you’ll find interviews with leading experts, personal reflections from our founder Susan Campbell, and thoughtful, well-researched content that meets you where you are.

This is your invitation to learn, share, and feel at home. Because every woman deserves to navigate this transformation with confidence, beauty, and a sense of belonging.
