Let's talk about something that impacts millions of women but doesn't always get the attention or conversation it deserves—menopause!

We're excited to welcome Brita Montes-Sanders to EmpowerU 2026 as she shares on her topic: Understanding Menopause: Navigating Change with Confidence.

Hot flashes, changes in libido, shifting hormones, and wondering what's happening to your body? You're not alone.

Brita will help us better understand the changes women experience during menopause and share practical strategies for managing symptoms, supporting our well-being, and navigating this stage of life with greater confidence.

EmpowerU is a day dedicated to women's health, personal growth, confidence, connection, and empowerment.

🎟️ TICKETS ARE STILL AVAILABLE!

The holiday magic doesn’t have to come at the expense of your peace.

In “Protect Your Peace: Preventing Holiday Burnout,” Cally will help us recognize when we’re running on empty and share practical ways to set healthy boundaries, let go of perfectionism, share the load, and protect our energy and mental well-being.
