Shondrea Harroon, PhD is a truth-teller, rhythm-keeper, and sacred guide for Black women navigating the transformative journey of menopause. As a seasoned Health Care Administrator, she brings decades of experience in leadership, advocacy, and compassionate care to every space she enters. Her professional path has deepened her understanding of what it means to serve, to heal, and to lead with integrity.

She is also the founder of Confident Career and Life Coaching, where she finds profound joy in helping individuals navigate the journey of life with clarity, courage, and purpose. Through coaching, she empowers others to become the best version of themselves—professionally, personally, and spiritually.

Her work is grounded in lived experience, ancestral wisdom, and a fierce commitment to visibility. She believes that menopause is not a breakdown—it's a breakthrough. Not a crisis—but a calling. Not the end—but the beginning of a deeper, more embodied truth.

As a wife, mother, and grandmother, she carries the stories of generations with grace and grit. Her husband's unwavering support has been the quiet strength behind her voice. Her daughters are the living legacy of her love, and this book is a love letter to them—a guide for the seasons they will one day walk through. Her grandson is her daily reminder to rise, to rest, and to be the most whole version of herself.

Whether she's coaching clients, leading workshops, or creating sacred spaces for women to exhale, her mission is clear: to help Black women heal loudly, rest deeply, and lead unapologetically.

Hot Flashes and Healing is not just a publication. It is a revolution.
