Grace in the Change : A Christian woman's guide to navigating perimenopause and menopause with faith and scriptures

Denise Seun Popoola is an author, experienced banking professional , a seasoned lawyer with a postgraduate degree in Law from the University of Wales, UK, and a USA-certified marriage and family counsellor. Beyond her professional journey, she is a living testament to the power of resilience, grace, and practical wisdom when facing life’s inevitable transitions.

Her own journey into midlife has been both refining and transformative. After 23 years of marriage and decades of professional and personal growth, Denise encountered the challenges of perimenopause and menopause firsthand. What could have been a season of confusion and silent struggle became, for her, a crucible of learning—marked by early difficulties but also by profound self-discovery and renewal.

This book is born out of that journey. It is not simply a collection of medical facts or abstract theories, but a distillation of the hard-won lessons Denise has gathered through lived experience, professional counselling, and walking alongside countless women facing the same season. She shares openly the daily strategies, faith-based principles, and practical lifestyle adjustments that helped her navigate the physical, emotional, and relational shifts of menopause, transforming what many view as decline into an opportunity for growth and flourishing.

These are the insights she wishes she had known at the onset of perimenopause—the wisdom she now offers to help women minimise common pitfalls, overcome stigma, and embrace this life stage with confidence. From managing symptoms and maintaining intimacy, to nurturing emotional wellbeing and rediscovering purpose, Denise provides a holistic, God-centred roadmap for thriving through midlife.

She believes that every woman deserves to experience this transition not as an ending, but as a powerful new chapter—a season rooted in faith, understanding, and a renewed commitment to lifelong growth and joy.
