Everyone's talking about menopause...

Dear Pausers,
 
Summer. Summer. Summer. Hopefully you're all getting some good down time and having some fun in the sun! We've been hitting the farmer's markets with our menopause booth where mostly we've had brilliant conversations about menopause with all kinds of humans. The experience of being out there with our "Let's talk about menopause" sign was intimidating at first, but after a few weeks, we're totally affirmed that the topic of menopause is important to bring into the light, and someone's got to do it so why not us? Read below for more about why we're setting up around the city every week.
 
Are you thinking about November's retreat? The early bird pricing ends August 1st so now is your time to make a move. We're planning an information session later this summer, but in the meantime, please email us any questions about details of visit us at the Madrona Farmer's market on Friday, July 28th and follow us on Instagram for future farmer's market dates. We're always glad to chat by phone as well. 
 
 In sisterhood, 
 
Laura & Kate

Let's Talk About Menopause
Yesterday I went to our neighborhood farmer’s market to set up a menopause booth with my friend Kate. I had gotten there early and had all the things I needed to set up, but I’d waited for Kate because I was too embarrassed to set up the table myself.

For the last six years, Kate and I have been on a quest to bring menopause into the light. Any woman in her 40s or 50s knows that this natural life event, while it happens to all women, is veiled in secrecy and shame. Kate and I have been on a mission to open the curtains, take the topic out of the dark and let the sun shine in.
