About this Event

Spicy & Hormonal: The Neurodivergent Women's Brunch Club

Ever feel like your ADHD or Autism traits fluctuate wildly depending on the time of month, life stage, or hormonal shifts? You are not imagining it.

From puberty to post-menopause—and every cycle in between—hormonal changes directly impact our brain chemistry, executive function, and sensory processing. Yet, so few people are actually talking about it!

Join us for a relaxed, validating, and eye-opening gathering where we pour some mimosas and get real about neurodivergence and hormonal health.

💖 What We’ll Cover

The Hormone-Brain Connection: How estrogen and progesterone influence dopamine, focus, mood, and sensory processing.

Life Stages & Neurodivergence: Navigating the shifts during puberty, pregnancy, postpartum, and perimenopause/menopause.

Practical Strategies: Tips for tracking your cycle, managing symptom "flare-ups," and advocating for yourself with healthcare providers.

Community & Conversation: Connect with others who get it in an open, judgment-free space.

Whether you are formally diagnosed, self-identified, or simply curious about how your hormones affect your brain, you are warmly welcome here.
