Not Crazy, Just Hormones!

A 3-hour therapist-led workshop for women navigating peri/menopause 💜

If you’ve been feeling more anxious, irritable, foggy, emotional, exhausted, or just not like yourself lately… you are not alone, and you are not “crazy.” Hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause can impact mood, sleep, cognition, sexual health, and overall wellbeing in very real ways.

Join us for an in-person, evidence-based workshop designed to help women better understand what’s happening in their bodies and minds. This workshop will include education, guided discussion, practical coping tools, and support around communication and medical self-advocacy.

We’re also excited to have Erin Lovingfoss of Loving Your Pause contributing her specialized knowledge and perspective.

📍 In person at Grace & Gratitude Counseling, PLLC 1401 Branding Ave, Ste 345, Downer’s Grove
📅 April 30
🕕 6:00–9:00 PM
💲 $35
✨ Early Bird Discount: $25 through 4/15

This is a great fit for women who want information, validation, and practical tools in a supportive space.

This 3-hour workshop is a therapist-led, psycho-educational offering designed to support women navigating perimenopause and menopause.

This is why we need to advocate and educate.

Things women were told they couldn’t do: Vote. Run marathons. Go to space. Talk about perimenopause. Did them anyway. Every time. 😂 Swipe for the full highlight reel. 👉

My first Pause & Restore event happened Sunday and I’m still sitting with it.

I wasn’t sure what to expect. I hoped women would show up. I hoped they’d feel safe enough to be honest. I hoped the conversation would feel real.

It was all of that and more.

To every woman who walked through that door, thank you. You didn’t just attend an event. You helped build something.
And to thank you for the most beautiful space to start this in. It meant everything.

If you’ve been curious about what Loving Your Pause is all about, this is it. Real women. Real conversations. Real support.

More events are coming. And in April I’m launching my 7-Day Protein Challenge. One week, one habit that changes how you feel. More details soon. 🌿

Save this if it resonates. Share it with a woman who needs to hear she’s not alone.
