The Menopause Raconteur

About Jainy Smith

Jainy Smith is an author, broadcaster, podcast host, corporate speaker and the creator of The TMR Universe - a growing platform dedicated to changing the conversation around perimenopause, menopause, identity and female reinvention.

Known for her relatable humour, straight-talking honesty and ability to say the things women are often thinking but rarely say aloud, Jainy creates books and conversations that make women feel seen, understood and far less alone.

Her work began with menopause education but quickly evolved into something much bigger. Through The TMR Universe, Jainy explores what happens when women begin questioning the roles they have outgrown, the expectations they have carried and the lives that no longer quite fit.

She is the author of:

Your Ovaries Have a Resignation Plan - The Millennial’s Guide to Perimenopause, Identity, Reinvention and Taking Back Control

A bold, funny and deeply validating guide for millennial women navigating the physical, emotional and identity shifts of perimenopause. It is not simply a book about hormones, it is about boundaries, relationships, burnout, self-trust and returning to the woman you were before the world became so demanding.

Manopause 101 - A Man’s Guide to Thriving (not Dying) During her Menopause Meltdown

An accessible, honest and very humorous guide created to help men understand menopause, support the women in their lives and navigate the changes that can affect relationships, families and workplaces.

ZEN AF: A Menopause Mindfulness Colouring Book

A calming adult colouring book combining mindfulness, crazy humour and creative escape for women navigating menopause, stress and the everyday chaos of life

The F*cking Menopause Sh*t Show Colouring Book

A VERY sweary, unapologetic and highly relatable adult colouring book for the days when positive thinking simply is not going to cut it and stops women being, one minor inconvenience away from committing a murder because someone breathed too loudly

I’ve Resigned From…An Adult Colouring Book for Women Ready to Let Go of Everything That No Longer Serves Them, Reclaim Their Identity and Colour Their Way Through Perimenopause and Midlife

A lovely addition and further support to Your Ovaries Have a Resignation Plan, this colouring book is a creative declaration of independence for women ready to resign from people-pleasing, apologising, perfectionism, toxic expectations and every other role they were never meant to carry forever.

Jainy is also the host of the Identity Crisis Clubhouse - I’m Not Dead Yet podcast, where no subject is discussed or un-explored. Perimenopause/Menopause/Post menopause, including identity, ageing, relationships, burnout, reinvention and the quiet moments that make women wonder, “How did I end up here?”

She also hosts her own Radio Show - The Mood Swing Shift bringing humour, honesty, music and meaningful conversation to subjects that are too often hidden behind closed doors.

Through her Ladies’ Nights, book talks and corporate speaking events, Jainy has reached more than 1,500 women and men, creating honest, engaging conversations around perimenopause, menopause, identity, relationships and workplace support. Her work helps people feel better informed, less alone and more confident discussing subjects that have remained hidden for far too long.

At the heart of everything Jainy creates is one central belief: Perimenopause and menopause may start the conversation, but they are not the end of a woman’s story. They can be the beginning of her return to herself.

Through her books, podcast, radio show, speaking events and community, The TMR Universe is changing the conversation, inspiring reinvention and building belonging.
