Naomi Wants To Make Menopause An “Open Conversation”
‘Dare I Say It’ includes Naomi’s experience with menopause, conversation with friends, and a foreword by Dr. Mary Claire Haver. The actress related, “Women have had to suffer in silence and shame for too long about the changes they undergo during menopause, with little access to information, support or even much of an open conversation.” Naomi began the menopause journey at the early age of 36.
The actress was caught completely off-guard. A press release for the book stated, “Feeling confused, alone, and unsupported about this stage of her life, Watts was determined to do better for herself and other women”. Hence, Naomi used her status to become an advocate for menopause awareness. She stated, “I hope it will be of help for anyone trying to get a hold on this phase of life and make it a time of liberation rather than purely a time of trial.”
