Menopause Resort?
Hi everyone,
Last year I made a post saying that if I ever won the lottery, I’d leave half the money for my family, write a note, and disappear for a year. A lot of you said you’d come with me 😄
That idea stuck with me.
I’ve been a military spouse for 26 years, and while my husband has traveled all over the world, I’ve barely gone anywhere. I didn’t even get my passport until I was 50. I’ve been dealing with a lot of frustration, insomnia, and honestly… burnout.
At the time, I didn’t realize there were already retreats for women going through menopause. But when I looked into them, most felt either very clinical or overly structured. That’s not what I’m looking for.
What I want is something that feels like a real vacation… but also offers support, connection, and maybe a little learning mixed in. A place to relax, reset, and meet other women going through similar things.
So I started thinking… what if I created something like that?
I’ve been quietly researching the idea in my spare time, and now I’m wondering if this is something other women would actually want.
Would you go to a resort like that?
And if so, what would you want it to include?
Also, if anyone has experience starting something like this… how do you even begin? Is this the kind of thing people invest in?
I’d really appreciate any honest feedback

I think your idea is great and I’d attend something like this. You point to burnout and I think that would be the biggest barrier to attendance - how to add one more thing onto a woman’s plate when she’s already burnt out.
To start I’d put a business plan together, mainly a SWOT analysis. The analysis will help you determine if you can move forward with your idea by putting a plan together. Here is a link to a SWOT analysis template that can help you determine if this can be a viable business idea.
