Jen Sweeney is an author, entrepreneur and patient advocate. Frustrated by the lack of information and support women receive in midlife, Jen researched, wrote and published “You’ve Got to Be Kidding Me!: Perimenopause Symptoms, Stages and Strategies”. She simultaneously launched Periwinkle, a movement to help women thrive in midlife. A practical dreamer, Jen believes women deserve information, support, and evidence-based care in all stages of life. Inspired equally by Dolly Parton and the Dali Lama, Jen lives in the Washington DC metro area with her family and a pack of dogs.
