Celebrating Grand Rapids' History

Well… we did the thing, and wow.

Last night’s Uncomfortable Conversations | The Pause proved that perimenopause doesn’t need to be whispered about. The room was full, the questions were honest, and the conversation kept going long after the mics were off, which is exactly the point.

Huge thank you to our incredible panelists, Dr. Karen May, Dr. Diana Bitner and Cheryl Bergman, for bringing expertise, honesty and a few laughs to a topic that deserves it all.

To our sponsors, @rebelnell and @theurbanyou: this doesn’t happen without partners who believe these conversations matter. Thank you for your support.

And to everyone who came, asked the questions and nodded along with “yes, me too” energy: you made this a night to remember. Let’s keep talking because this topic deserves more than just one night of conversation.

An event isn’t an event without some rockstar sponsors.

We’re excited to have @theurbanyou and @rebelnell Nell - two women-owned businesses - as sponsors for Uncomfortable Conversations: The Pause this week.

Urban You is our wellness sponsor and they’re basically Michigan’s go-to medical spa. They blend real medical expertise with a modern, down-to-earth vibe, so every visit feels welcoming and leaves you feeling like the best version of you.

Rebel Nell is our community sponsor. They turn meaningful materials into wearable art - jewelry that marks the big moments in your life and celebrates your own journey. Their whole mission is to remind women just how strong and one-of-a-kind they really are.

We couldn’t ask for better partners for this event. Thank you both for showing up for this community.
