'DARE I SAY IT will be out in January 2025. You can preorder a copy at the link in my bio.
' The mother-of-two, who shares Sasha, 17, and Kai, 15, with ex-boyfriend Liev Schreiber, continued: 'This is a book about how my life turned upside down when I was told I was close to menopause at the age of 36! 'Right when I was ready to start a family. I thought this was the end of everything. Certainly my fertility and career — boom.
' In the vulnerable message to her fans, she went on to share that she lacked helpful resources. 'As I struggled through shame and secrecy, I wished there was an open conversation. A handbook I could secretly turn the pages of.
Sadly there were no real resources. Not even well-versed doctors,' she explained. Relaying her experience to her audience, she added, 'I stayed quiet for as long as I could.
'But with the knowledge that half the population will enter menopause and two of my grandmas still living and going strong, I was determined to investigate more and optimize my health—as well as bring women together so we can feel like we’re not alone in this. We deserve more!' Naomi wore an ivory dress to promote her pro-aging beauty & wellness solutions brand Stripes on Breakfast Television Tuesday morning Wrapping up her thoughts, she noted, 'DARE I SAY IT will hopefully give you a chance to feel empowered through the conversations I’ve had with doctors and experts and to feel a little less alone by hearing my story and convos with my girlfriends. 'I can’t wait to share this with you all.
' Giving a nod to her pro-aging beauty & wellness solutions brand Stripes, she finished: 'We should all hold our heads high. 'We are older, we are wiser, and we are NOT DONE!! We’ve earned our STRIPES.' The silver screen siren shared a photo via Instagram Stories and wrote, 'Popped into @breakfasttelevision to talk about @stripesbeauty's launch in Canada' Naomi spoke on a panel in Canada alongside Tracy Moore and Amanda Thebe In a press release about her imminent book release, Naomi stated: 'I want this book to read like you’re sitting down over coffee and having an intimate chat with your girlfriend.
'I hope it will be of help for anyone trying to get a hold on this phase of life and make it a time of liberation rather than purely a time of trial.' She affirmed, 'Menopause is a part of a woman’s midlife, but midlife is about far more than menopause. 'I can’t wait for you to hear about the highs and lows and everything in between about this life stage and get some real, practical advice and comfort about how to take on these changes head-on.
