What weâre 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.

My most popular event is now available online! You no longer have to be in the Phoenix area to experience this impactful and fun eventđđ˝
Want to meet other women in midlife & beyond, enjoy a positive environment that fosters whole-life wellness, and feel REALLY good after it all?
GenX Connects Online offers a chance to talk about topics relevant to midlife and beyond, listen and share compassionately, and have fun! It's 75 minutes to boost your well-being and learn from other women.
Weâll chat online via Google Meet about a different topic each month.
This month's topic is financial wellness!
Letâs dig into an area of well-being that can be challenging.
The lessons we learned growing up, the limiting beliefs we carry, and the old habits we hold onto keep us from expanding our financial wellness.
This is an opportunity to create awareness, release blocks, and foster positive habits that shift how we think about money and our relationship with it.GenX Connects Online is 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.

Itâs freakinâ HOT in Phoenix during the summer months! The high temps are no reason to stay indoors and stop moving your body, my friend.
It just so happens that I have an amazing backyard with a pool perfectly suited for a small group movement session - Iâm calling it Water Works, and I invite you to join me!
Designed for women in midlife and beyond, at any fitness level, this class is an opportunity to nurture your body, mind, and soul!
I lead you through water-aerobics-inspired movement (with my own special twist, of course!) while you reinforce a positive mindset, have fun, and connect with other women. Expect gentle-on-the-joints movement, warm water that still feels refreshing, and plenty of laughter mixed in with the âworkâ.
The theme for June 29th is âhit songs of summer 1987â!
Each class is 75 minutes in length and costs $20. Registration ends Friday, June 27th, at 9am.
Space is VERY limited (only 5 spots!) and pre-registration is required!
This event is 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. Respectfully, I do my best to provide a safe and welcoming environment where sensitive issues related to the transformational season of midlife and beyond may be discussed.

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 kitchen island to socialize over morning beverages (non-alcoholic) and spend about an hour in a guided discussion around a specific topic.
This month we're reflecting on the past six months and looking ahead to the next six. Bring your calendar and journal!
Let's talk about different ways to celebrate your progress and successes, notice where you aren't where you thought you'd be, and reduce overwhelm as you move forward.
Midlife and beyond is a season of personal growth and increased self-compassion and understanding. This is the time to foster elements of your ideal life rather than waiting for 'someday'. Attend this GenX Connects event to plant and nurture the seeds you've been dreaming about!
