let’s change the way we talk about “the change”™

It’s time to break the silence about menopause! For too long, this natural and inevitable stage in a woman’s life has been shrouded in secrecy and shame.
Menopause can be an isolating and daunting experience for women, both physical and emotionally. Brenda’s personal account of menopause, delivered with authenticity, vulnerability, and humour, offers invaluable guidance and support to women navigating this challenging time. Moreover, her presentation highlights the need for increased awareness and education surrounding menopause within society.
The hush-hush culture surrounding menopause is doing a disservice to women everywhere. It’s time to shatter the taboo and start speaking openly about this transformative time. By sharing our experiences and supporting one another, we can create a more informed and confident community of women. This is our change to make – let’s embrace it and start the conversation.

Women have been pushing and breaking through glass ceilings since the 70s, and while many have succeeded, others still face barriers. But as we get older, we encounter yet another obstacle, a “silver ceiling.” This is a term used to describe the societal pressures and expectations placed on women as they age.
In a world that glorifies beauty and youth, we are told we must fight aging, be ashamed of it, and maintain our youthful appearance at all costs. These messages are deeply engrained in our culture, starting from a young age, and can lead to negative self-talk and a lack of confidence as we grow older.
Brenda believes that women shouldn’t have to conform to anyone else’s standards. Instead, stay visible and relevant on your own terms and show the world your unique beauty and wisdom.
Brenda will talk about how we need to empower ourselves and one other to embrace the beauty and wisdom that comes with age and will share how we can work towards a more inclusive and accepting society for all women.
