🌕 Mothering Through Menopause – A Call for Voices 🌕

Rachael CrowBlog

 

I began writing about the transition of Moon Pause—menopause—back in 2016!!
Several years on, I’m still here…  mothering my now 12- and 15-year-old (and their big, beautiful hormonal tides) through my own menopause!

When the “changes” first began, I devoured every alternative book I could find (I even have a book list on my blog!). But not one of them helped me navigate the part that felt like the hardest and most sacred: how to mother during this time that was so clearly calling me to be alone, to go inward, to rest and unravel.

So, as usual (lol), I’m taking it on myself to see if we—together—can fill this aching gap in the conversation.


And I can’t do it alone. I need you. Your stories. Your truth.

✨ If this resonates… if something in you says “yes!”… then please get in touch. in**@************co.uk
Tag a friend, pass this along. The more voices, the richer this offering becomes.

I’m gathering real, gritty, honest, hopeful stories of Mothering Through Menopause.
Stories that feel like sitting down with a cup of tea and your best friend.
Stories that offer tools, insight, rage, grace, laughter, and tears.

There’s time – I’ll be collecting contributions until July 2025.

If you’re up for writing something, that would be most welcome.
Or, if writing isn’t your thing, we can have a Zoom chat and use the transcript for the book.

đź’¬ FAQ

How many words?
Moon Pause is not a time for pressure. Write as little or as much as feels right.
Poems, prose, art (please note: it may be printed in black and white), meditations—all welcome.

Can I include an image with my chapter?
Yes! Just be mindful that colour printing increases the cost of the book (we’re likely to go mostly black & white to keep it accessible).

Will there be author bios?
Yes—there will be a section at the back of the book for your bio, website, social media, offerings, etc.

Can I include references/resources with my story?
Absolutely. These will be added to the reference section at the back.

Can we promote our services?
Yes—this can go in your bio at the back of the book.

Will contributors be paid or receive free copies?
I don’t currently have a budget, but I’m open to exploring fundraising or collaborative revenue models.
All contributors will have access to wholesale-priced copies to sell and earn from.
I’m also happy to offer my Moon Pause 101 course as a gift in exchange for your contribution.
