What we’re about
Welcome to my female friends who want to meet other women in midlife & beyond, enjoy a positive environment that fosters whole-life wellness, and focus on feeling good (whatever that looks like for you!).
Respectfully, this is a group designed for women in midlife and beyond - including cisgender women, trans women, and nonbinary individuals - who are navigating life transitions such as aging, perimenopause, menopause, hormonal changes, and empty nesting.
I started this group to provide opportunities to meet in person each month to chat about life, spark friendships, support one another, and have some fun, dammit! Two years in, I'm adding online events to create space for women outside of PHX to experience the magic of this group.
GenX Connects and other select events include guided discussions around a topic related to midlife & beyond (you know...sleep, empty-nesting, prioritizing our needs, peri/menopause, financial wellness, & more based on your feedback).
Other events support women-owned businesses and/or provide opportunities to create whole-life wellness (the Eight Dimensions of Wellness are: Social, Intellectual, Spiritual, Physical, Emotional, Environmental, Occupational, and Financial).
And some events are strictly to have fun while enjoying one another's company!
This group honors introverts and extroverts alike. Please join and be active in the discussions, attend events, connect, share, support, and learn. Let's have fun and celebrate where we are in life!
Check out the discussion tab for weekly quotes by inspiring women (usually on Fridays) and to engage with other members. I ask for feedback from the group in the discussions as well. Hope to see you there!
I send out emails on Wednesdays and every other Sunday. If you'd like to be on my email list, YOU CAN JOIN HERE.

Let’s wrap 2025 together! Celebrate our friendships, immerse in positive vibes, and toast to a dreamy 2026 at Mixela, the European-vibey restaurant of my friends, Valentina & Chef Gianfranco.
Enjoy a social hour (well, technically it's 2 social hours😆) early on New Year's Eve that you don't want to miss.
From a ‘made for us’ spread of yummy small plates to an impactful end-of-year ‘ceremony’, this event is an ideal way to feed your body, mind, and spirit.
Let's celebrate the connections we've made in 2025, spark new ones for 2026, and absorb the abundant positive energy of this group of women!
Mixela is located on the NW side of 24th St. and Osborn Rd. My friends are passionate about creating a welcoming atmosphere and serving up thoughtful small dishes made with love.
We’ll enjoy an aperitivo spread just for our group on the patio. Your $70 event fee includes one drink, tax, and gratuity. Additional beverages are on you. Simply show up to celebrate! (plant-based options available).
This is an early NYE Social Hour for you to make it to other events or be home to have a quiet night in.
Don’t miss this unique event where you can support a local minority/women-owned small business while saying au revoir to 2025!
Parking at Mixela is VERY limited - ride-sharing is encouraged.

Want to meet other women in midlife & beyond, enjoy a positive environment that fosters whole-life wellness, and feel REALLY good after two hours?
GenX Connects offers a chance to talk about topics relevant to midlife and beyond, listen and share compassionately, and have fun! It's two hours to boost your well-being and learn from other women.
Gather around my patio table to socialize over non-alcoholic morning beverages and spend about an hour in a guided discussion around a specific topic.
The topic for January is:
2026: Intentionally Creating a Year of Health and Well-Being.
Let’s build a loose framework that supports how you want to feel throughout the year. Body, mind, soul - what does 'healthy' look like for you? How do you define well-being?
Our conversation will take you through a few of the steps I use with clients. As a Life and Wellness Coach for women in midlife and beyond, I see the clarity personal definitions can provide. Join me for a gentle, impactful start to 2026.
GenX Connects is for women in midlife and beyond - including cisgender women, trans women, and nonbinary individuals - who are navigating life transitions (you know, like peri/post-menopause, hormonal changes, aging, shifting relationships, and redefining what you want out of life).
