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.

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.
The topic this month is acceptance of change!
Let’s talk about change - how we resist it; how we embrace it. As you know, there’s A LOT of change embedded in midlife and beyond.
How can we release our desire to control change and move to acceptance? Where do we want to create change that boosts our well-being? What strategies help us experience change more fluidly?
I created GenX Connects for women in midlife and beyond 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 transformative season of midlife and beyond can be discussed.

The Earlybirds Club is coming to Phoenix, my friends! Here's what they say...
The night may be young, but we are not. So, where can you go to get down when all the dance clubs don’t get hoppin’ till midnight?
Starting at 6pm and ending at 10pm, Earlybirds Club dance parties are the place to let your hair down but still get a good night’s rest.
Everyone deserves a space where you can come as you are and feel completely safe to just … let go. No pressure. No pretense. We create a joyful, movement-filled experience that feels nostalgic and welcoming - all wrapped up in a night that ends early enough for you to wash your face and still get a full eight hours.
This event is for you if you miss the magic of moving your body to music you love with your girlfriends (but without the late-night drama, judgment, or creeps)!
