do? Melanie throws on whatever she can find and runs out the door, arriving at the nearest Whole Foods right as they open.

I get the ashwagandha and I go back to the car and I'm like shaking as I'm opening it.

Like, I need it bad, you know.

And then I looked at myself in the mirror and I'm like, Melanie, you know, are you losing your mind, girl? You acting a hot mess over a darn supplement.

It was just ridiculous.

My socks didn't match.

And I didn't care.

So Melanie started sharing them.

Now, I'm sure you've told this story hundreds of times, but for people who are listening who haven't heard how We Do Not Care Club started, can you take me back to that very first video and tell me what was going on?

You know, on that day, it was May 13th.

I was sitting in my car.

I was at Whole Foods.

I was sitting in my car and I was simply over myself.

I went in to get some ashwagandha because that was my everything.

And I took my ashwagandha and I, you know, put it, gulped it down.

Sometimes you've got to sit and find out how it feels in your heart.

Uh, when did you realize you didn't care anymore? [laughs]

You know, I was sitting in my car one day.

I had a hysterectomy, and with that hysterectomy came perimenopause.

I was sitting in my car one day, and I was looking in the rear view mirror, and I just, I was, I was putting so much pressure on myself.

And I, you know, you gotta go clean, you gotta go cook, you gotta go do this, you gotta do, do, do, do.

And I just said, "You know what, Melanie? You do not care much anymore.

You gotta stop it.

And how has this, this, this, uh, declaration, or affirmation of attitude, has it helped you? Is it working for you?

So just for our audience, if you could just share how that even happened.

Yes, this was on a day, and I just realized I was putting so much pressure on myself about so many different things.

And, you know, it's like a top that's about to explode.

And I said, Melanie, you just simply do not care much anymore.

Yeah.

And I decided to, because I am a content creator, let me hit record and see, does anyone want to join this club with me called the We Do Not Care Club? And overwhelmingly, I would say within 20 minutes of me getting home, it was viral across all platforms.

That's an amazing club to join, by the way.

rooms, okay? Okay, let's go.

So today,

I do not care that I don't have no real bra on, and I do not care that I don't have edge control in my hair.

I don't care.

That's it.

That's the story.

Period.

Point blank.

Melanie thinks WDNC took off because it was a place where women could hear about menopause symptoms and experiences without judgment.

struck a nerve.

It struck a nerve.

But the organic part of all of this, and this is the part I just really want to be able to put emphasis on.

It is so freaking organic because when I saw it growing, I got scared.

I said, oh, shit.

I'm going to have to be, they're going to want me to show up every day.

I'm not the creator that posts every day.

Because the writing process can be exciting and grueling.

Can you explain to me, Madam President, why you were moved to create this club?

As I sat in my car one day, I looked at myself in my rearview mirror, and I, I just realized I was putting so much pressure on myself to be so much, to do so much, to accept so much, and it was time for me to just stop caring anymore.

And I just hit that record button and asked women did they want to join me in a club, and overwhelmingly, absolutely.

I would love to hear a list of things that we are not gonna care about anymore as menopausal women.

Okay.

Let's do it.

We do not care if we forget what we are talking about.

Just start a new conversation, and if we remember, we'll come back to it.
