Perimenopause and menopause is often seen as a challenging time, but Jenny Gripenberg, founder of Lily, offers a different perspective. Combining yoga, coaching, and selfcare, she helps women navigate menopause with strength and confidence. Jenny, who has experienced this transition herself, views it as a time of growth and empowerment.
What challenges do women face during menopause?
Menopause is a natural part of life, but it can come with many physical and mental challenges. As a driven and conscious woman, I understand the importance of holistic self-care. It’s not just about managing symptoms but embracing the entire experience and using it as an opportunity for personal growth.
You mention self-care. What role does self-care play during perimenopause and menopause?
Self-care is absolutely key. It’s about more than just outer beauty—it’s about creating space for oneself, listening to your body, and nurturing your mind and soul. Practices like yoga, meditation, and mindfulness help me find inner peace and clarity. During this stage, I’ve come to realize that self-care is essential for maintaining balance and well-being.
How did you come across OM-SE, and what drew you to the brand?
I first encountered OM-SE while looking to simplify my skincare routine. I was impressed by their philosophy of high-performance skincare that’s easy to use. Their commitment to quality and effectiveness immediately stood out to me. I didn’t have the energy or desire to keep up with long skincare routines anymore, and OM-SE offered a much simpler solution.
OM-SE has been a game-changer for my skin. I’ve struggled with eczema around my eyes, and after using their oils, the eczema disappeared. My skin feels nourished, and I’ve regained a sense of balance. It’s like when I started doing yoga—it just felt right.
What are some common skin issues women face during menopause?
For many women, including myself, skin changes are one of the most visible effects of menopause. Dryness, sensitivity, and a loss of radiance are very common. OM-SE's skincare products have helped me address these challenges, and in turn, they’ve boosted my confidence and overall sense of well-being.
How does OM-SE fit into your broader self-care routine?
OM-SE has become an extension of my self-care practice. It’s a way for me to give myself the care I need and deserve. By combining their skincare with my yoga, meditation, and mindfulness practices, I feel more grounded and ready to face whatever life throws at me.
What message do you want to share with other women going through perimenopause and menopause?
I want to inspire women to embrace menopause with strength and grace. Together with OM-SE, I hope to show that self-care isn’t just important—it’s essential. When we take care of ourselves, we approach each new day with energy and confidence, ready for whatever life brings.
