To everyone who said YES to August’s Shebang Box: thank you for trusting your pivot.
This month’s box is more than a reset - it’s your permission slip to start fresh, think differently, and prepare for the magnificent power-up waiting on the other side.
Menopause isn’t just biological change - it’s your body’s ultimate pivot. After decades of cycles and rhythms, your system is evolving into a new phase of power. Your hormones aren’t just “changing"—they’re teaching you to release old stories, say what needs saying, and reroute toward your most aligned self.
"Hello Beautiful Friend, Your pivot starts now. Breathe deep, think clear, trust your transformation. You’ve got this."
This month’s Shebang Box is designed to help you navigate that transition with intention, clarity, and courage. From skincare to soul care, every item inside supports your emotional, physical, and energetic shift into the next version of you.
Why We Made This Box
We created this box for your pivot moment but there’s way more to share than what fits on the product card. This season of life isn’t about “bouncing back.” It’s about pivoting forward. From people-pleaser to truth-teller. From caretaker to self-advocate. From shrinking to standing tall.
Laurie: The biggest pivots in my life didn’t come with a bunch of drama. They came quietly, with a whisper: “It’s time.” That whisper always arrives when I’m finally quiet enough to listen.
Dodie: I used to be terrified of change. Now I know the change supports my becoming. And midlife is the biggest becoming of all.
