Why Did You Join Versalie?  

I joined Versalie to provide accurate, helpful information to those going through menopause. I am especially interested in the impact that menopause has on mental health. Through my writing, I hope to change the way that we think about this important stage of life and reduce the stigma associated with it.

When she’s not writing, Emily spends her time traveling, hiking, playing pickleball, dancing, and practicing yoga. She also likes listening to mental health podcasts and enjoys snacking (who doesn’t?).
