What if some of the busiest airports in the world became recognized for celebrating women in midlife by giving them a sanctuary to recharge, reconnect, and rise above the journey?

Imagine being a woman over 40, navigating the stress of air travel while also managing hot flashes, fatigue, or anxiety—now picture stepping into the world’s first airport lounge designed just for you.

For decades, airports have catered to business travelers and luxury flyers—but what about the women who keep the world moving? Every day, thousands of women over 40 pass through airports, navigating the stress of air travel with no space designed for their unique needs. If you’ve ever fanned yourself with a boarding pass during a hot flash or longed for a quiet corner to just breathe between flights—you already know why the PAUSE Lounge must exist. This is more than a lounge; it’s a movement. We have a dream to build the first-ever sanctuaries designed by women, for women in midlife—a place to recharge, reconnect, and rise above the journey. With your support, we can make history by opening the doors of the PAUSE Lounge and proving that women experiencing menopause finally deserve the same comfort, care, and recognition as every other traveler.

For years, I lived in the spotlight, performing eight shows a week, giving my all to the stage and to audiences around the world. But when I entered perimenopause, I realized that there was no script for what I was experiencing. The hot flashes, sleepless nights, mood swings, and energy shifts were real—and yet, conversations around menopause were hidden in the wings.

That’s when I decided to take center stage with a new mission: to create spaces where women in midlife are not only acknowledged but celebrated.
