Hot Flashes & Fierce Tales: Stories from Menopause, Midlife, and Beyond

Laughs, life lessons, and relatable stories for women who sizzle at any age! When conversations about menopause and what it means to be a "woman of a certain age" remain in the shadows, they foster a sense of shame, uncertainty, isolation, inferiority, and loneliness. We put these conversations in the spotlight, give our fears and concerns not just a voice, but a microphone. Come hear what our talented storytellers have to say. You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll feel connected and empowered. You might have a hot flash! This engaging show will consist of six to eight preselected story sharers from Chicago's vibrant storytelling community. We're excited about our Skokie location, The Storefront on Main, which is just across the street from the Soul Good coffee shop and Zelda's Table, which offers grab-and-go sandwiches, salads, and drinks if you want to fill up before the show. Scrappy Affirmations helps women find resilience and meaning, and perhaps community and joy, as they navigate transitions in midlife and beyond. We offer soul-enriching workshops, transformative coaching, captivating talks, heartfelt custom rituals and ceremonies, and essential end-of-life planning. We create playful, welcoming spaces where openness, self-discovery, and shared wisdom come to life. Learn more at ScrappyAfffirmations.com.
