Hi! I’m Kimberley Barnes.
Author and member of Welcome to the Club, A Menopause Thriller.
Writing this book made me cry, laugh, and feel both vulnerable and empowered. I’m not a magical menopause guru, just a woman sharing real stories, honest laughs, and a little comfort for women going through the same thing.

This book isn’t a clinical guide full of charts and hormone graphs. This is a real, raw, hilarious take on what it actually feels like to navigate menopause while working, parenting, sweating (a lot), and trying not to lose your mind or your keys.
Whether you’re in the thick of it or just peeking around the perimenopausal corner, this book is your relatable, slightly unhinged companion for the ride.
