Melani Sanders Uses Her Platform To Normalize Menopause

Melani Sanders never intended to ignite a movement. Without a marketing plan or expectation, she captured a spontaneous moment while parked at a grocery store on May 13. “I’d been an influencer for about four and a half years,” Sanders shared with The Defender. She casually recorded herself inviting women to join what she termed the We Do Not Care Club, expressing her newfound indifference. Unexpectedly, millions engaged. “That post was different,” she reflected, noting the wave of supportive comments that highlighted shared experiences among women. They opened up about shedding unrealistic expectations, particularly during perimenopause and menopause. “Melani created a platform for us,” said fan Cass Joseph. While certainly blunt, Sanders’ message emphasizes self-care. As she navigated her own challenges, humor became essential. Now preparing to release *The Official We Do Not Care Club Handbook*, Sanders envisions offline retreats to foster genuine connections and shared experiences among women navigating midlife transitions.
