We offer both online and in-person events, ensuring accessibility and convenience for all members. All events are free or low-cost, with any fees solely covering food or facility expenses.

    Get Lucky is a grounded, evidence-informed conversation about female arousal, desire, and intimacy during perimenopause and menopause.

    On St. Patrick’s Day, we’re surrounded by the idea of luck; something you stumble upon, hope for, or feel you’ve lost. But when it comes to intimacy in midlife, luck isn’t random. It’s rooted in understanding what’s happening in your body, your nervous system, and your relationships.

    Get Lucky is a grounded, evidence-informed conversation about female arousal, desire, and intimacy during perimenopause and menopause. As hormones shift and stress accumulates, many women experience changes in arousal, libido, and connection that are rarely explained clearly and often wrapped in shame or silence.

    This evening brings together medical and relational expertise to explore what actually drives arousal, why desire changes in midlife, and how intimacy can be rebuilt without pressure, performance, or pathologizing normal transitions.

    This is not about tricks or quick fixes. It’s about replacing confusion with clarity and reclaiming agency over a part of life many women are told to quietly grieve.

    You Will Discover

    • The physiology of female arousal, including the roles of hormones, blood flow, and the nervous system
    • Why desire often shifts in midlife and why that shift is not a personal failure
    • How stress, shame, and life transitions impact intimacy and connection
    • Practical, compassionate ways to re-approach intimacy with curiosity and self-trust

    Who This Is For

    • Women navigating perimenopause or menopause who want clear, credible information about intimacy
    • Individuals or partners seeking to understand desire beyond obligation or expectation
    • Anyone ready to move from “hoping it comes back” to understanding what supports connection

    Midlife doesn’t just change your body.

    It can shift your energy. Your stress tolerance. Your identity. Your sense of what fits.

    Many women enter perimenopause expecting physical symptoms. Instead, they find emotional shifts, nervous system sensitivity, and a feeling that the strategies that once worked no longer do.

    This three-part series begins by building a grounded foundation for understanding what is happening through three interconnected lenses:

    • Biological — hormonal shifts and symptom variability
    • Psychological — stress patterns and identity transitions
    • Energetic — an introduction to the chakra system as a historical framework

    Part 1 focuses on context and clarity. We start with hormone science and stress physiology, then introduce the chakra system as an additional way to understand midlife change.

    Conversational. Thoughtful. Integrative.

    If midlife feels like more than symptoms, this conversation will help you make sense of it.

    Recording available to all who register.

    Playing by New Rules: Menopause, Energy, Hormones & Self-Leadership in Midlife
    Thursday 4/16 | 12:15pm ET | Zoom

    Many capable women enter midlife doing everything right — and still feel like something has shifted.

    Perimenopause and menopause affect energy, sleep, focus, mood, and stress resilience. The strategies that once worked may no longer deliver the same results.

    In this expert-led conversation, Laura Brown, MS, WHNP-BC, MSCP and Jennifer Edwards, DVM, ACC, CPC explore the intersection of hormonal health, nervous system regulation, and self-leadership in midlife.

    You will discover:

    • Why common coping strategies stop working
    • What evidence-based menopause care includes
    • How hormonal shifts influence performance and emotional resilience
    • A more integrated framework for leading yourself through change

    Clarity. Context. A new approach to midlife.

    Recording available to all who register.
