Last Thursday we (my partner, Nadine and I) hosted 4th episode of HH&HF and it was our BEST event ever.
October 2022, I wanted to do an in-person event to get people together again after being shut down for 2 years with the pandemic and I wasn’t sure “exactly” what I wanted but I knew that I wanted to get a room of women together to learn, laugh and build community.
Since then we have had 3 more and this year, we have out done ourselves – or atleast that is what our attendees told us.,
In addition to myself and my partner, we had 4 other speakers.
Sheela Zelmer, PFPT. Farah Jamni, pharmacist and fiunctional medicine practitioner. Dr. Jess O’Reilly, world renowned sexologist and then we ALWAYS finish the evening off with my good friend and comedian, Erin Keaney – who took notes and roasted the speakers.
Amazing sponsors such as Chcocosol, Nala Care, Dr Cara Flamer and Dr. Deanne Simms.
I can’t forget our small businesses, Laplume beauty, Oshun’s Apothecary, Pelvic Health Hub, and Blumseed that were part of our Menopause Marketplace.
We offered dinner from Taste Seduction delicious carbbean food and gluten free cocktails from Nickle 9 Distillery.
And let’s not forget my partner, Nadine Woods, founder of Mayana, and of course, me; anti-diet, menopause health and fitness coach, on a mission to empower and build strong, kick-ass women who feel better than ever.
As the event wrapped up, we also had an excited announcement from the team at the NEW Women’s Healthy Living Show that not only will there first show be in June, 2025 but we will be hosting our next HH&HF at their show!!!!
Honestly, when I look back, there we SO many incredible moments, laughter and hugs that at the end of the night, it reminded me, yet again, HOW important community is.
You can’t "buy a vibe”. It is created and CURATED by people who are real.
So if you were able to attend in person or virtually, I want to thank you for supporting our mission to continue building this community because although we know that every woman will go through menopause, it can feel so isolating and I want you to know, it doesn’t have to feel that way.
Queens support queens like ony queens do.,
Thank you for listening and I would like to remind you that I have an amazing event coming up!
Registration is now OPEN for our next Flip Flops & Hot Flashes retreat in Cahuita, Costa Rica January 31 - February, 2026.
