Christian author Betty Johansen has published Dancing Through Menopause, a guide encouraging women to approach menopause with confidence and joy, arriving as broader cultural conversation reframes midlife and aging women in more positive, respectful terms.
-- Wordsmith World and author Betty Johansen have published Dancing Through Menopause, a guide intended to help women approach menopause with confidence rather than dread. The book combines practical guidance on nutrition, exercise, and emotional wellness with a faith-rooted message that this stage of life can be met with vigor and purpose rather than resignation. Johansen frames menopause not as an ending but as what she describes as a new movement in a woman's life, arguing that attitude, more than symptoms alone, shapes how the transition is experienced.

The book arrives alongside a broader cultural shift in how aging women, and the language used to describe them, are discussed. Media commentary, including in The Journal, has tracked a movement to reclaim the once-disparaging term "crone" as a marker of confidence and earned wisdom in later life, part of a wider push to retire outdated, negative stereotypes about older women. That shift is playing out alongside slower progress in how openly menopause itself is discussed: according to Bonafide's 2026 State of Menopause Survey of more than 2,000 women aged 40 to 64, conversations about menopause are becoming more normalized, yet 45% of women still say enough stigma remains that they do not feel comfortable discussing it openly. Johansen's book enters that gap directly, offering women a framework for approaching the transition with confidence rather than silence.
Dancing Through Menopause covers hot flash management, nutrition and weight strategies, emotional wellness and long-term lifestyle habits, organized around what Johansen calls the rhythms of the menopausal transition. Rather than treating each symptom solely as something to endure, the book frames it as an opportunity to set new goals and rebuild confidence. Johansen, whose other titles include Christian fiction and Bible study guides, brings a faith-informed perspective to the subject, describing the menopausal years as a new beginning rather than a decline.
The book is aimed primarily at women approaching or currently experiencing perimenopause and menopause, along with those supporting a partner, family member or friend through the transition. Johansen has also published a series of blog posts on related topics, including managing mood swings and communicating with a spouse about the experience, extending the book's themes into ongoing content for readers.
Dancing Through Menopause is available now in paperback and digital formats. Women navigating perimenopause or menopause, along with those who support them, can learn more at https://bettyjohansen.com/dancing-through-menopause/
