A middle-aged mother of three has pivoted from a career in recruiting to become an erotic author, stand-up comedian and TikToker, sharing her funny tales from the menopause. Stephanie Oram, 52, wrote her debut novel Wax, Whips And My Hairy Bits in lockdown, and after taking part in a phone-in on This Morning, it was the second most popular book on Amazon.
After reading a few lines of Fifty Shades Of Grey, she wanted to create something relatable, realistic and funny for “the average woman”. Stephanie wants to help women see the funny side of the menopause especially, and has published a book called It’s Not The F&!#@%G Change!, which features real women’s funniest stories and quotes from their experiences.
Stephanie, from Blackpool, hopes the book will remind fellow menopausal women that they are not the only ones doing funny things like putting their mobile phones in the microwave. In 2020, Stephanie was in the middle of setting up her own recruitment agency, which would specialise in helping the over-50s get back to work, but as soon as it was meant to open, lockdown hit.
