Laughs, life lessons, and relatable stories for women who sizzle at any age!
About this Event

When conversations about menopause and what it means to be a "woman of a certain age" remain in the shadows, they foster a sense of shame, uncertainty, isolation, inferiority, and loneliness.

We put these conversations in the spotlight, give our fears and concerns not just a voice, but a microphone.

Come hear what our talented storytellers have to say. You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll feel normal for being a complicated human. You might have a hot flash!

This fun evening will consist of six to eight preselected story sharers from Chicago's vibrant storytelling community.

We're excited to move our show back to Skokie in a new venue, The Storefront on Main, a new collaborative space designed to ignite creativity, support local entrepreneurs, and revitalize Skokie's Main Street.

Scrappy Affirmations helps women navigate and find meaning life's transitions right up until the end. We offer soul-enriching workshops, transformative coaching, heartfelt custom rituals and ceremonies, and essential end-of-life planning. Learn more at .
