An honest, long-overdue conversation on a topic many women experience—but few discuss.About this Event
Join us for a candid fireside chat with three leading voices in menopause and women's sexual health.
Despite growing awareness around menopause, one critical area remains overlooked: the impact on sexual health and intimacy. For many women, this is one of the most common challenges of midlife. And yet, it's rarely talked about.
This long overdue conversation brings together scientific insight and real-world perspective—and includes audience Q&A, providing a rare opportunity to engage with leaders in the field.
- Shirley Weir, founder of Menopause Chicks, a strong voice in menopause advocacy, education, and community, and author of Mokita, a guide to help you navigate perimenopause
- Maria Sophocles, Princeton-based gynecologist and menopause specialist, TED speaker, and author of The Bedroom Gap—the book bringing a bold and timely lens to the many forces shaping intimacy in midlife
- Lori Brotto, internationally recognized researcher, clinician, author of Better Sex through Mindfulness, and co-creator of eSense
Enjoy a relaxed evening with delicious nibbles, wine, and a conversation that will reframe how you think about sex and intimacy.
We’ll be giving away copies of our speakers’ books throughout the evening. Following the discussion, Dr. Sophocles will also have copies of her new book available for purchase and signing.
This event is free of charge. Space is limited.
