The book that turns:
"I don't know what to do"
into "I've got you."
Menopause Wingman by Michelle A. Hardwick
Michelle A. Hardwick is the author of Menopause Wingman: The Emotional Handbook for Partners. A handbook written specifically for the husbands and partners of women going through menopause. Drawing on her own ten years' lived experience of menopause and twenty-five years in private practice supporting people through major life transitions, she offers a rare combination of personal understanding and professional insight.

Menopause Wingman
Emotional Support through menopause:
For the women living it and the partners walking beside them.
The handbook for the man beside her.
She's changing. You can feel it. You want to help but nothing you do seems right. You're not the problem. But with the right understanding, you could be the turning point.
Who This Book Is For
For the man who loves her and wants to get it right. Maybe you don't recognise her right now. She seems exhausted, emotional, distant. You want to help but everything you try falls flat. You feel shut out, unloved, so you tread carefully and quietly wonder if you're the problem. You're not.
BUT - you could be part of the solution. And this book will show you exactly how to be.
"Menopause Wingman is long overdue. It gives men the understanding and tools they need to support the women they love - and in doing so, strengthens women-centred menopause care rather than competing with it."

"With each chapter, I felt encouraged and better educated.
This book equips men with the mindset, empathy and resources to better handle and co-navigate this major life transition and strengthen and deepen their relationships.
Also provides highly transferrable communication and relationship skills for the other areas of men's lives".
