Hello Again celebrates women every day by helping them feel their best—because wellness isn’t just a once-a-year conversation. But as much as we champion daily empowerment, International Women’s Day gives us a one-day powerful platform to amplify what still needs to change. It’s a time to recognize our progress while being honest about the gaps that remain—especially in women’s wellness.
Knowing our bodies and having real options and access to better care is essential. Women’s wellness isn’t just about feeling good—it’s about being seen, heard, and supported in ways that truly matter. And Hello Again is here to take charge, push for progress, keep the conversation going, and make bold choices that put women first.
International Women’s Day: The History
International Women’s Day (IWD) has quite a history. It’s exhausting to think that women have been fighting for their rights since at least 1776—and yet, here we are, still pushing. IWD as a movement has been shaking things up since the early 1900s, and let’s just say—it didn’t start with hashtags and brunch.
The first official “celebration” occurred in 1911, with rallies across Europe demanding women’s right to vote, work, and exist without discrimination. Fast forward to 1917, and Russian women took things up a notch by launching a powerful strike that helped ignite a revolution. By the time the United Nations made IWD an official global observance in 1975, the movement had already proven that when women show up, shit gets done.
Over the years, IWD has evolved from protest marches to a worldwide acknowledgment of progress, but the mission remains the same—equality isn’t a favor; it’s a right. That’s why, on March 8th every year, International Women’s Day is a powerful reminder that the work isn’t done yet. From breaking barriers in politics and business to challenging outdated views on women’s wellness, this day keeps the momentum for real change.
Women’s Wellness Deserves Better
From poor working conditions to poor health conditions, women have been fighting to be taken seriously for way too long. Menopause, sleep-related health issues, and period pain have been overlooked in medical research for decades—like an afterthought in a system that wasn’t built for us. Instead of real solutions, women are often handed generic advice or dismissed altogether. Newsflash: “Just deal with it” isn’t a treatment plan.
That’s why more women are turning to holistic, plant-based solutions that actually work with their bodies instead of against them. We’re done waiting for the healthcare system to catch up. From cannabis-powered relief to alternative wellness approaches, the demand for better care is only growing—and women are leading the charge.
The best part? We’re not just changing the conversation; we’re changing the industry. Women-led brands and advocacy groups are challenging outdated healthcare models, proving that wellness should be made for women, not as an afterthought. The more we speak up, the more the system has to listen—and we have no plans to quiet down.
Cannabis for Menopause
For too long, women’s health has been ignored, and menopause is no exception. It’s a significant life transition, yet what are the treatment options? Slim to none. If you’re lucky, you get hormone therapy. If you’re not, you get a pat on the back and a “welcome to this new chapter” speech. Meanwhile, the brain fog, mood swings, hot flashes, and sleep struggles keep rolling in.
That’s why more women are turning to cannabis—because balance shouldn’t be a guessing game. Ingredients like THC and CBD are known to help regulate body temperature, clear mental fog, and bring much-needed balance to moods. Science is finally catching up to what women have known for years: plant-based relief works.
And the best part? Women aren’t just using cannabis for menopause—they’re leading the charge to destigmatize it. Brands like Hello Again are rewriting the menopause story with products designed specifically for women’s bodies. Because let’s be honest—no one should have to suffer through menopause just because the healthcare system never made it a priority. It’s time to take control, feel balanced, and start this chapter on your terms because your story is just getting good.
When Rest Becomes a Struggle
Inadequate sleep is one of the worst side effects of menopause—because when your sleep is garbage, everything feels off. Brain fog, mood swings, low energy—it’s all connected. And yet, menopause-related sleep struggles are often brushed aside, leaving women to figure it out on their own. Melatonin? Maybe. Sleeping pills? Not ideal. Just “dealing with it”? Absolutely not.
Instead of accepting restless nights as the norm, women are seeking out better solutions—ones that support their bodies through menopause. Cannabinoids, like GBG and CBN, are emerging as a way to encourage sleep cycles, ease nighttime anxiety, and even keep those dreaded hot flashes from waking you up at 2 AM. Because getting the rest you need isn’t a luxury—it’s a must.
Cycle Syncing: Taking Control of Your Hormones
Menopause isn’t the only time hormones like to keep us on our toes—our menstrual cycles have been running the show for years. From energy levels to mood swings, the ups and downs of our cycle impact way more than just that one week a month. Yet, most of us were never taught how to work with our hormones instead of fighting against them.
That’s where cycle syncing comes in. It’s all about aligning your lifestyle—nutrition, exercise, and self-care—with your body’s natural rhythms. Instead of pushing through exhaustion or wondering why you feel superhuman one week and drained the next, cycle syncing helps you make sense of it all.
And because we love a holistic approach, cannabis, adaptogens, and plant-based wellness are playing a big role in keeping things balanced. Whether it’s CBD, known to help with period pain, THC, known to help with relaxation, or natural remedies to support hormone health, women are finding smarter, more effective ways to take control of their cycles—on their terms.
Women Supporting Women: Community, Education & Breaking the Stigma
Understanding and finding better ways to support our bodies is just one piece of the puzzle. The bigger picture? Creating spaces where women feel seen, heard, and supported in their wellness journeys. Whether it’s choosing cannabis-powered solutions for menopause, sleep struggles, or period health, no woman should feel like she has to navigate it alone.
Destigmatizing these conversations—talking openly about hormones, plant-based medicine, and the realities of women’s wellness—gives women the power to make informed choices. When we break the silence around menopause and cycle care, we’re not just reclaiming our well-being—we’re setting the stage for a future where women’s health is a real priority.
From advocating for better health policies to supporting women-led brands making a difference, there are so many ways to keep the momentum going. Because the best way to honor women? Making sure these conversations don’t fade when the day is over.
Let’s Talk About Real Women’s Wellness
While we love a good celebration, International Women’s Day is more than just a moment—it’s a movement about empowerment. It’s about pushing for real change, whether equal pay, better healthcare, or just being heard (for the first time). The world has come a long way, but we’re not settling—not now, not ever. And when it comes to women’s wellness, the fight is far from over.
Women deserve better research, solutions, and a healthcare system that prioritizes their needs. That means breaking the stigma around menopause, cycle health, and cannabis as a legitimate tool. It’s time to be bold and take charge of our health—on our terms.
Because when women feel their best, they can do anything—and that’s something worth fighting for, today and every day.
