About
Hi, we're Sisu Season.
Sisu Season is written by Maija, a Finnish woman living in the American South. Maija is a pen name. She keeps her face and full name private so she can write about hot flashes, rage, sex and sleepless nights with complete honesty.
When the menopause transition arrived in our house, we went looking for one clear, trustworthy place that explained what was happening, what the research actually says, and how to get real help. We found scary forums, supplement ads and advice that contradicted itself. So we built the resource we wished existed.
What we believe
- You deserve the real research, in plain English. Every medical claim we make is sourced.
- You deserve to be taken seriously. Most of what we make is about walking into an appointment prepared.
- No miracle cures. We don't sell supplements, and we tell you when the evidence is weak.
- We are not doctors. We're a guide and a friend for the road, not a clinic.
Why "sisu"?
Sisu is a Finnish word for quiet, stubborn strength when things get hard. Not toughing it out alone. The kind of strength that knows when to ask for help. That's the spirit of everything we make.
