High Heels & Hot Flashes: The Ultimate Menopause Event
High Heels & Hot Flashes is the ultimate menopause event of the year and we are doing something new and special at the Women’s Healthy Living Show.
High Heels & Hot Flashes is a movement that focuses on community, inclusivity and amplifying the voices of women of colour who often get left out of the conversation when it comes to menopause and midlife.
On Saturday, June 7th, we will be hosting an exclusive screening of The M Factor Film, followed by a panel discussion. Get ready for a healing and insightful conversation that will get you feeling seen and heard and then channel that energy with a fun and sassy evening.
