To everyone who said YES to September’s Shebang Box: thank you for powering up.
September’s Power Up curation is all about clean, hormone-aware support that helps you feel sharp, steady, and strong—mentally, physically, and emotionally.
Menopause and midlife aren’t a slow fade; they’re a power surge. Your body is recalibrating. Your habits can, too. This box gives you simple, science-informed tools for better energy, clearer focus, deeper sleep, and steadier moods—without the jittery highs or the afternoon crash.
“Power up starts here. Breathe, focus, and trust your energy.”
Why We Made This Box
We built Power Up to help you create sustainable energy, not sprint-then-crash. Think: smarter caffeine, better blood flow, sleep you can count on, and quick, pocketable pick-me-ups. As always, we prioritized clean formulas, hormone-aware ingredients, and women-founded or women-led partners wherever possible.

About Shebang
Shebang is a women-founded brand reshaping the menopause experience. We’re here to flip the script on midlife—less shame, more soul. Through curated subscription boxes, real-talk education, and a community that actually gets it, we’re helping women reclaim their energy, power, and permission to pause.
We started Shebang because we were tired of feeling dismissed, overwhelmed, and alone in our own perimenopause journeys. So we created what we wished we had: a lifeline disguised as a care package.
Whether you’re in the thick of hot flashes, ragey mornings, or existential unraveling, we’ve got you. Welcome to the club you didn’t ask to join—but won’t want to leave.
Because midlife isn’t a crisis. It’s a catalyst. 💥
