-- With recent research showing that approaching menopause may induce depression, Wordsmith World has announced the release of "Dancing Through Menopause," a book designed to help women embrace menopause with greater confidence, vitality, and understanding. Written by former teacher and Christian author Betty Johansen, the book provides practical, research-based strategies to manage both the physical and emotional transitions of menopause.

Menopause affects nearly every woman, yet it remains one of the least openly discussed life stages. Emotional changes can be profound, with recent research revealing that perimenopausal women are about 40% more likely to experience depressive symptoms than those who have not yet reached menopause. Studies also show that up to 80% of women at this stage experience physical symptoms such as hot flashes, sleep disruptions, and weight gain.
In "Dancing Through Menopause," Johansen takes an integrated approach that blends scientific insight with compassionate, faith-informed guidance. The book explores topics ranging from nutrition and exercise to hormonal balance and emotional well-being. Each chapter is structured to help readers understand what is happening in their bodies while giving them actionable steps to improve their quality of life.
“Menopause can be confusing, even intimidating, because so many women are unprepared for the range of changes that occur,” a spokesperson for Wordsmith World said. “Our goal in publishing 'Dancing Through Menopause' was to make this journey less fearful and more empowering, something that helps women see this as a new chapter, not the end of one.”
The book’s sections on physical health include clear recommendations for diet and fitness, addressing common issues such as midlife weight gain. Johansen’s guidance helps readers take control of these changes through balanced nutrition and consistent activity rather than restrictive measures.
Equally important, "Dancing Through Menopause" delves into emotional health. The author discusses mood fluctuations, anxiety, and self-esteem challenges, offering practical ways to nurture mental wellness. Johansen also highlights the importance of maintaining purpose and connection during midlife, encouraging readers to rediscover their passions and strengthen their relationships.
Betty Johansen is best known for her Christian mystery novels, including "Lilli’s Song," "Darkness Under His Feet," and "Hawaiian Wildflower." Beyond fiction, she has written "The Bible in Brief," a condensed guide to Scripture’s most meaningful stories. Her transition into wellness writing reflects her ongoing commitment to helping women live fuller, faith-centered lives.
