🌎 World Menopause Day | October 18
🎬 A Global Conversation Worth Having
Let’s keep the conversation going — together.

This Saturday, we join the world in celebrating World Menopause Day, a time to honor awareness, advocacy, and action for women’s midlife health.

Earlier this year, The Lux Center of Counseling & Education, Reset & Renew Health Coaching, and Pausitive Women’s Care co-hosted a powerful local viewing of The (M) Factor: Shredding the Silence on Menopause in Rockledge, Florida. Nearly 100 attendees — 97% women — came together to listen, learn, and speak openly about the change that affects us all.

Now, you can be part of the global conversation.
Join Tamsen Fadal and leading menopause experts for a free global screening of The (M) Factor this Saturday, October 18 at 7 PM ET / 4 PM PT, followed by a live Q&A with the voices shaping menopause advocacy worldwide.

💡 Why it matters:
➡️ By 2030, more than 2.3 billion women will reach menopause.
➡️ In the U.S., 1.3 million women do so every year.
➡️ It’s time to bring menopause out of the shadows and into the center of public health, leadership, and life.

Let’s continue to shred the silence, one conversation, one community, and one event at a time.

🩷 It’s time to rewrite the menopause story, together.
This month isn’t just about awareness… It’s about action.

About giving voice to what’s been quieted, and connection to what’s been missing.

In this week’s issue, we’re sharing:

✨ A bedtime ritual to help you finally rest through the night

✨ Real talk about what it means to be supported in this season

✨ Upcoming events and ways to connect with other women rewriting the narrative

You’re not alone in this chapter and you don’t have to navigate it in silence.

🌟 Honored to Share RESET with ABWA 🌟

This month my sister, Darby Koller, CSMC, presented RESET: The Menopause Leadership Series to the ABWA Oceanside Charter Chapter—and the energy in the room proved it: menopause isn’t just personal, it’s a workplace conversation we can’t ignore.

We’ve both felt the career impact of midlife symptoms while trying to lead, meet deadlines, and stay focused. That experience fuels our mission: no woman should suffer in silence or feel her career shrink because of a natural life stage.

RESET is for leaders, HR teams, and employees of all genders to:
💡 Build inclusive policies & cultures
💡 Offer evidence-based symptom relief & resources
💡 Help midlife women thrive—not just survive—at work
