Our Story
Discover the inspiring stories of our founders and their passion for this brand.
I started feeling “off” at 38. I’d wake up with this heavy, sinking dread in my chest — an anxiety I couldn’t explain. I blamed it on the stress of COVID, on juggling my business, motherhood, and being the family breadwinner. I kept telling myself it would pass.
But it didn’t.
The fatigue was relentless. Even with 8 hours of sleep, I felt drained. From being a triathlete, I could barely make it through a 30-minute workout. My recovery slowed, and injuries became constant. By the time I hit 40, my periods had become erratic. My anxiety worsened. I pulled away from people. My self-esteem plummeted, and there were days I genuinely questioned the point of it all. I felt lost — like I was failing at everything.
But I didn’t ask for help. I didn’t want to be a burden.
Then one day, a friend casually mentioned perimenopause — and that it could start as early as your mid-30s. That conversation changed my life. I started tracking my symptoms, running labs, advocating for my health, and slowly began connecting the dots.
That journey led me to build Awendra — so no woman has to feel the way I did: ashamed, broken, or alone.
I used to think I was a bad partner, a bad mom, just… bad.
Now I want every woman going through this to say out loud:
“There is nothing wrong with me.”

At 45, I was told I needed a full hysterectomy. No one explained what that really meant — not just the surgery, but the aftermath. I wasn’t told about hormones, or the mental toll, or what it would do to my body and mind.
After the procedure, I was thrown into menopause overnight.
For five years, I felt like a ghost of myself. I couldn’t sleep. My body changed in ways I didn’t understand. I was constantly exhausted, moody, anxious — and I had no idea why. I started to think maybe this was just my new normal. Maybe I just had to live like this.
Doctors dismissed me. Friends didn’t understand. And I stayed quiet — because what else could I do?
Eventually, I found a doctor who finally listened. She helped me realize what I was experiencing was real — and that I wasn’t crazy. With the right support, I started to feel like myself again. But it shouldn’t have taken five years of suffering to get there.
That’s why I joined Ria to co-create Awendra. We’re here to speak the truth no one told us. To offer support we wish we’d had. And to remind every woman:
You’re not broken. You’re not alone. And you deserve to feel like yourself again.
