    “What Is The Pause Project?”

    Menopause isn’t just something women go through. It changes their partners too. This is a dedicated place for men (and women or couples) to share stories, deepen understanding, and navigate “the pause between us.”


    It’s more than a platform—it’s a movement.


    At its core, The Pause Project is about mental and emotional wellbeing during one of life’s most challenging transitions. Through a growing body of work—including the book “The Second Menopause,” the podcast “The PauseCast,” and the live workshop series “The Pause Between Us”—we’re creating a space and community where silence ends, and shared understanding begins.


    Founded by Jordan Waid, a man who’s been through menopause twice—once with his ex-wife of 18 years, and again with his next partner of 8 years—it aims to explore the often-overlooked impact menopause can have on men and on the relationships that once felt invincible, unshakable... unbreakable.


    This is where the often unheard partner finds a voice and where men feel seen by the women they love. A space where both are met with empathy and presence, not confusion or distance. Together—not apart—we learn to navigate the pause.



    Disclaimer

    "This project does not claim that menopause causes relationship breakdowns. Relationships are complex — and so are the people in them. Menopause may or may not be a contributing factor. What we do know is that menopause can be a time of significant physical and emotional stress for some women. This isn’t about blame. It’s about understanding. I share these stories (including mine) with full awareness that I have my part to own in them, too." — Jordan Waid
