Such a great group of accomplished women speaking to women!

I am so thankful that I had the opportunity to discuss these topics, especially with other women. It has motivated me in so many different ways.

My favorite part of the day was being in a room full of like-minded women

I enjoyed the speakers. They were filled with so much information that was so helpful. I enjoyed learning from each of them!

I liked everything! All agenda topics were valuable. I liked the access to experts and connecting with women at my table.
-
I enjoyed the open discussion and normalizing of menopause. The finance panel was helpful to think about.
-
I felt very comfortable speaking openly about the topic because we were all there to discuss it. It did not feel "taboo"
-
Loved that it wasn't focused on how we look. Thank you for keeping it focused on topics that matter.
A community of fearless women.
Our in-person events offer women the chance to learn more about menopause and to reflect on their next chapter with joy and hope. We share stories and engage in honest, open conversations about real issues facing us all. Our medical, financial, and wellness experts provide women with facts and actionable advice. And women leave armed with all the tools needed to embrace this next chapter of life with a renewed sense of optimism and energy.
Together, we are rewriting the narrative around aging, transforming midlife from dread into excitement. We are writing our 3rd Act and it’s going to be exciting and amazing!
