About us
A group for women 35+ who might be struggling with life’s challenges - perimenopause/menopause, children growing up, parents getting old, separation and divorce, health concerns, job struggles, lost friendships, a growing understanding of how capitalism and the patriarchy have perhaps sent us on a life path we may not have chosen for ourselves, had we been empowered as young girls…
If you want to connect with other women where you’re at - this group is a play on the term “sugar and spice and all things nice”. It’s for women who are interested to explore what’s actually underneath when given permission to find who YOU are without society’s expectations of you.
Join for conversations that make you think, share the voices of women who empower women in the media, music, art, literature. I’d love for this to be an inclusive space where true friendships are formed based on acceptance of our differences and lifting each other up.

Connection in conversation: Your body thinks your creative dreams are dangerous
t bay cafe, 26 Whitehouse Road, Tītahi Bay, Porirua 5022, New Zealand, Porirua, NZStep 1: listen to the podcast
Step 2: bring your thoughts, feelings, opinions and share them with in a judgement-free zoneConnection in conversations will be a monthly event, similar to a book club* but for people who love to listen to their media, or don’t have the time to commit to reading. It’s just 30 mins-1 hour depending on the podcast of the month.
This month’s podcast is by Florence Given, who is by her own description “a woman who is paid handsomely for her thoughts and opinions” and she is unapologetic about it.
Florence is an injection of uplifting ideas, you don’t have to agree with any or all of her thoughts, but she really does give you something to think about:

For these conversations, you’re not expected to agree with the speaker, there’s no right or wrong opinion and you don’t even need to know exactly what you think yet. Just make sure you’ve listened to the podcast of the month and turn up with an open heart and mind, ready to connect from a place of curiosity. Share as much or as little as you like, and make space for thoughtful conversation without judgement.
Note - t bay cafe is my local and I’m keen to support them as a venue, so if you’re joining us, please purchase a drink at minimum, although their food is always great so I recommend trying something to eat, too!
(*there will also be a Sugar and Spice book club, watch this space).
