This way for a bit more about me→

In 2012, I walked away from a Biology teaching career I loved to embark on a self-care sabbatical — and I never looked back. That decision became the foundation for everything I now build, teach, and believe.

I'm Dixie Lincoln-Nichols: post-menopausal woman, mama, Qigong instructor, podcast host, and co-founder of Life In The Pause. I've spent the last decade helping women navigate the menopausal passage with honesty, education, and deep community care — because the silence around this transition has gone on long enough.

a Bit ABout Me 

The menopausal passage has been shrouded in secrecy, shame, and silence for far too long — and I'm here to change that.

My work centers the sacredness, wholeness, and expansiveness of well-being for women 40+, because how we age is a story worth telling on our own terms.

Whether you're in the thick of perimenopause, navigating post-menopause, or simply deciding to take your well-being seriously — you belong here.
