The book that turns
"I don't know what to do" into "I've got you."
Menopause Wingman
The handbook for the man beside her.She's changing. You can feel it.
And 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, 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.
What Is This Book?
Menopause Wingman is the straight-talking, warm and genuinely useful handbook that partners of menopausal women have been waiting for.
No jargon. No judgment. No watered-down advice.
Just honest, practical, human guidance, drawn from 25+ years of professional experience, one decade of personal menopause journey and the real, unfiltered voices of men from around the world who have been exactly where you are now.
A Personal Note from Michelle
If you've landed here, something brought you. Maybe she asked you to look it up. Maybe a mate mentioned it. Maybe you typed something into Google at midnight because you didn't know what else to do.
Whatever the reason, I'm glad you're here.
I'm Michelle. I've spent over 25 years walking alongside people through the hardest moments of their lives. For the last decade, menopause has been at the heart of that work. Not just professionally, but personally. I know what it does to a woman. And I know what it does to the people who love her.
This book exists because of a man named Richard. He told me his relationship might have survived menopause if a book like this had existed. I never forgot that.
This is that book. And you're already doing the right thing just by being here.

Why This Book Exists
It started with a chance encounter.
At an online networking event, Michelle met a man named Richard. When she mentioned her work in menopause, he stopped her:
"You should write a book for men. About menopause. My relationship might have survived if something like that had existed."
She never forgot it. Because Richard wasn't alone.
In 25+ years of practice, she had seen it again and again. The women were struggling — and the men beside them were lost. Not uncaring. Not unwilling. Just completely in the dark. No one had spoken to them. No book existed for them.
So Michelle asked men from different countries to share their experiences. Their voices are woven throughout every chapter: honest, unfiltered, man to man.
Menopause Wingman is the result. It's for every man who wants to do better than Richard could.
If you're the woman reading this - hello.
This site is mostly written for the men beside us. But I see you too.
If you're wondering whether to share this with your partner, the answer is probably yes. Not because he needs fixing. Because he loves you and doesn't know how to say it right now.
