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.

See all- Water Works - for women in midlife and beyond44th St & Thomas Rd, Phoenix, AZ
THIS IS A PAID EVENT! Your spot is not confirmed until you pay the $20 event fee at THIS SECURE LINK.
**ELEVATE members: use your code to save $5 on this event.
It’s freakin’ 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 - I’m 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 ‘work’.
The theme for July 6th is ‘hit songs of summer 1991’!
Each class is 75 minutes in length and costs $20. Registration ends Friday, July 4th, 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.
