Naomi Watts has always known the importance of speaking about women's health issues. Her journey through early menopause and her struggles with it are not just personal, but they’ve become pivotal in her mission to break societal taboos. By launching her beauty brand and writing a book, she aims to empower others like herself who may feel embarrassed or isolated regarding their experiences with menopause—something she deeply wished she had known more about when she faced it at 36.
Watts expressed how her personal feelings during her early perimenopause journey were compounded by the societal pressures of Hollywood. ‘From the day I entered this business, I was told that, as a woman, I should never draw attention to my age. Admitting that I was menopausal would make me undesirable,’ she shared. Despite knowing this was absurd, she felt fear over how her honesty might impact her career. Her views underline a significant cultural narrative around aging and women's careers.
