Jenopause Unfiltered: Navigating the Windy Road of Perimenopause
Today we’re getting under the hood with Jen Brown a daughter, sister, wife, and the founder of Jenopause Midlife, a women’s health education and advocacy platform dedicated to bringing honesty, support, and empowerment to the midlife experience. Known for her candor, warmth, and ability to make anyone feel instantly comfortable, she brings a refreshing authenticity to conversations many women have been taught to keep quiet.
After more than two decades in high-performance ad sales roles, Jen felt a pull to explore how she could use her skills and experience to make a difference in the world. At the same time, she began experiencing confusing physical and emotional changes that were dismissed by multiple doctors. She later learned that she was in perimenopause, and the timing collided with a challenging chapter at work. An ADHD diagnosis later in life provided even deeper clarity, revealing she had been navigating symptoms without language, support, or understanding for years.
These experiences opened her eyes to how many women are dismissed or misdiagnosed, left to struggle in silence, and forced to figure out midlife on their own. Determined to change that, Jen earned a menopause coaching certification, not to take clients, but to deepen her knowledge so she could better educate, validate, and advocate for women who deserve answers. Through Jenopause Midlife, she teaches women how to find high-quality care, champions open conversation, and speaks openly about the realities of midlife health.
Jen also serves on the Board of Directors of the NYC YMCA and is active in fundraising and community volunteer work. She lives between New York City and the Jersey Shore with her husband.
