Shirley Weir

In April 2016, Shirley hosted an online menopause party celebrating her own menopause milestone. She and rock star, Bif Naked, discussed learning to love menopause. In 2018, her first book, MOKITA: How to navigate perimenopause with Confidence & Ease reached #1 on Amazon.ca in women’s health.
