About us
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.
