MenoRise: Helping Women Lead, Grow, and Thrive Through Menopause

Brisbane, Australia - [April 2025] - Leadership advocate and author Sonia McDonald has unveiled MenoRise - a bold new movement dedicated to helping women navigate perimenopause and menopause while continuing to grow, lead, and thrive in their careers.

We're proud to be part of a growing wave of change. While we're not the first to champion menopause awareness — and we deeply admire the inspiring work of organisations like Menopause Friendly Australia — we are passionate about adding our voice, our heart, and our leadership expertise to this essential movement.

For too long, menopause has been a silent career barrier. Women often face stigma, misunderstanding, and a lack of support just when their leadership potential and career contributions are peaking. MenoRise calls time on that silence — and instead, champions visibility, empowerment, and career longevity.

"We don't whisper about leadership, so why are we whispering about menopause?"
— Sonia McDonald, Founder of MenoRise
