Cheers to Change: Navigating Menopause with Smart Choice

Join The Melting Pot and selected partners, Kirsty Mulcahy (Sober Buzz), Dana Drizkova (Menopause Coach) and Dr April Blake (Solstice Wellbeing), for an empowered and inclusive discussion on menopause and HRT, alcohol and wellness.  

This event will feature a powerful and positive narrative which explores some of the science and lived experiences of menopause. If you’re currently experiencing the menopause, think you’re about to, or know someone who is (you definitely do!) and want to learn more, this event is for you.
