Rise Through Menopause: The MenoRise Movement
It’s time to break the silence around menopause and perimenopause — and rise.
At MenoRise, we believe this transformative stage of life deserves knowledge, confidence, leadership development, and empowerment — not stigma, shame, or misunderstanding.
Our Mission
We’re leading a bold new conversation to:
- Educate women, men, and workplaces about menopause and its impact on leadership, life, and work.
- Empower women to thrive through perimenopause and menopause with leadership tools, career strategies, and personal growth support.
- Eliminate stigma at home, at work, and in society — building leadership cultures that celebrate women at every stage of life.
Because menopause isn’t the end of leadership — it’s the rise of an even stronger, bolder era.

Why MenoRise
Was Founded
MenoRise was created to change the story around menopause — from silence and struggle to leadership and empowerment.
When Sonia McDonald experienced the emotional, mental, and physical changes of menopause firsthand, she saw a gap no one was talking about. It wasn’t just about hormones. It was about identity. It was about resilience. It was about confidence, leadership, and well-being — all of which were being challenged at once.
And too many women were facing it alone. MenoRise was founded to declare: this is not the end — it’s the rise of a powerful new chapter.
Built on leadership expertise and lived experience, MenoRise exists to educate, empower, and elevate women through this life transition — and to champion workplaces that rise with them.
Meet Sonia – Founder of MenoRise™
The Heart and Courage Behind MenoRise™
Sonia McDonald has always believed leadership isn’t about titles — it’s about showing up, standing tall, and creating spaces where people thrive. As an award-winning CEO, global speaker, bestselling author, and leadership expert, Sonia has spent decades empowering others to lead with courage, authenticity, and heart.
But when Sonia entered perimenopause, she realised something was missing from the conversation — real support for women in this transition.
Instead of feeling seen, too many women felt sidelined, misunderstood, or invisible.
Sonia knew something had to change.
So she led the change. And MenoRise was born.
Today, Sonia is on a mission to:
- Empower women to embrace their next chapter as a leadership and wellbeing superpower
- Educate and certify workplaces to become champions of inclusion and equity
- Change the narrative around menopause with boldness, compassion, and courage
