Greetings. I’m Karen Giblin, founder of Red Hot Mamas®, author, speaker, and a passionate advocate for women’s midlife health. I believe that clear, reliable information is essential for women to live well at every stage of life—and that conviction is what led me to create this organization.
Many women reach menopause feeling unprepared. Like so many, I learned about menstruation and childbirth from my mother, but menopause was never discussed. Over the years, countless women have told me they felt frightened, embarrassed, or anxious when symptoms began simply because they didn’t understand what was happening.
That’s why I created Red Hot Mamas: to help women—and their families—see menopause as a natural life transition, not a crisis. With the right knowledge and support, women can move through menopause with confidence and continue to enjoy vibrant health afterward.
Red Hot Mamas provides:
- Clear, up-to-date information about menopause and its impact on the body and mind.
- Practical guidance on managing symptoms through lifestyle changes.
- Balanced information about prescribed and alternative treatment options so women can make informed, personal choices.
I invite you to explore Red Hot Mamas to learn more about menopause, our education and support programs, and the resources available to help you thrive.
Here’s how you can get involved:
- Join Red Hot Mamas and receive our free monthly e-newsletter, The Menopause Minute.
- Attend a Red Hot Mamas Menopause Education and Support Program in your area.
- Ask your menopause questions to our expert panel.
- Share your experiences in our Menopause Forums.
- Follow Red Hot Mamas on social media to stay informed and connected.
In closing, the best advice I can leave you with, is to try to always to be able to say a few simple words…
“I understand.”
Good health to you,
Karen Giblin
