📢 We’re Growing!

I’m excited to welcome Sierra to My Natural Me as our newest team member, serving as Program Manager for the Northern Virginia Dementia Support & Workplace Alliance in a part-time capacity.

This position is made possible through the generous support of the Potomac Health Foundation, whose investment is helping us expand meaningful resources for caregivers and workplaces across Northern Virginia.

Sierra’s primary focus will be coordinating our caregiver education workshops, community events, and programming, including our upcoming Our Caring Hearts Dementia Caregiver Expo on September 19 and our caregiver initiatives at the Manassas Community Center.

As our work continues to grow, so does our commitment to ensuring caregivers have access to practical resources, education, and a supportive community.

🌟 My heart is full.

Over the past several weeks, we’ve watched a group of young people do something that many adults are afraid to do—dream out loud.

They’ve explored ideas, asked hard questions, received honest feedback, revised their plans, and discovered that entrepreneurship isn’t just about making money—it’s about solving problems, serving others, and believing in yourself.

This Wednesday, they’ll present the businesses they’ve built.

Whether their ideas become companies one day isn’t even the biggest win.

The biggest win is that they’ve learned their voices matter. Their ideas have value. And they belong in rooms where innovation, leadership, and possibility are celebrated.

To our mentors, judges, families, and community partners—thank you for reminding our youth that they don’t have to wait until they’re adults to make an impact.

I can’t wait to celebrate every single one of them. 💜

Dream it. Build it. Launch it.

39% of women feel misdiagnosed when seeking care for menopause symptoms. Only 31% of OB/GYN residency programs include a formal menopause curriculum. And menopause-related productivity losses cost the global economy an estimated $150 billion annually.

This is not just a health issue. It is a workplace issue. A leadership issue. A systemic issue.

I am proud to share The Hidden Epidemic — a free, research-backed digital resource I created to help women navigate one of the most misunderstood health transitions of their lives.

The resource covers:

What is physically happening in the body during menopause
How menopause affects mental health — and why it is so often misdiagnosed as anxiety or depression
25 evidence-informed questions to bring to a doctor’s appointment
A printable symptom tracker for medical visits
Menopause in the workplace — rights, accommodations, and how to have the conversation with HR

This tool is designed to start conversations — with your doctor, your family, and your place of business. It does not substitute advice from a licensed medical professional.

Curated from peer-reviewed research and specialist interviews by Liletta Harlem, Self-Relationship Strategist and Founder of My Natural Me — a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to women’s mental health, womb wellness, and aging without judgment.

Visit the resource: menopausehub.manus.space

If you know a woman who has been dismissed, misdiagnosed, or simply told “it’s just your age” — please share this resource.
