Your Biz Your Town – The Furry Edition

Share the goods.

Any chance to support our furry buddies we jump on at 834, so it shouldn’t come as a surprise that our guests for Your Biz Your Town are the Humane Society of West Michigan and Eastown Veterinary Clinic. Both guests are sharing ways to support your pets.
The Humane Society of West Michigan is hosting their annual Bark in the Dark 5K Run/Walk. I especially like the ‘walk’ part. This event is near and dear to my heart as I was peripherally involved in getting it started several years ago. Buy me a glass of wine and i’ll tell you the story. The event also happens to take place in the Creston neighborhood where I happen to reside.
Animal lovers of all ages are invited to register and join the fun at 7 p.m. at Riverside Park for this glow-in-the-dark 5K walk/run. Guests are encouraged to bring their dogs as this will be a great opportunity for people and their canine companions to get active and support a great cause.
Find out more info at www.barkinthedark.org.
Eastown Vet, one of the Bark in the Dark sponsors, also happens to be hosting a Canine Behavior Seminar on October 28th at their location in Eastown.
Curious why your dog does what he/she does? If you’re looking for help treating your dog’s behavior issue, or just curious about why your dog does what he does join us on October 28th from 6:45 p.m. to 7:45 p.m. I know i’ll be there, 4 male dogs in one  household is a lot to handle…and I have a lot of questions.
RSVP required. Please call (616) 451-1810 or email (hr****@********et.com) to reserve your space. This workshop is free and open to the public.

Something on Your Mind?

National Perimenopause Month starts today. We have a LOT to say, and we’re not going to be quiet about it, especially this month, so buckle up.

We were not prepared for perimenopause, much like our periods, sex, or anything else to do with our bodies. God forbid we talk about it openly.

We were taught to be ashamed, keep quiet, and to accept that it is just part of being a woman. We reject that narrative. In fact, like @bodespeaks, we want to bring it up in every conversation. 

When we normalize perimenopause and the conversation around it, we stop isolating, and we’re all more prepared.
Join us for Uncomfortable Conversations: The Pause on September 24th — a powerful conversation hosted alongside the @smallbusinessassocofmichigan 
Women’s Business Council, featuring some kicka$$ experts who will give you the real talk on perimenopause (more to come on them later).
