Last Sunday I had the privilege of being part of Meera Bhogal’s Don’t Pause for Menopause symposium as a vendor, an annual event that I knew about last couple of years but had been planning to attend “when I hit that stage in life!” .. which is now 👋!
The day was packed with advice from doctors who are top experts at women’s health and everyone sharing personal journeys and openly asking questions because they felt safe to do so. As someone at the start of perimenopause, I was glad I was there and left with a better understanding of not just what to expect abut also importance of talking about it. 
It was also so lovely to meet Meera properly in person after following her on socials for so long. She’s every bit as warm, knowledgeable and inspiring as she is online. Thank you Meera, for creating such a welcoming space and for continuing to raise awareness, especially within the South Asian community.
And thank you to everyone who stopped by the Stoles & More stand for a little retail therapy between sessions. It was a pleasure meeting you all. 💛 and of course my fellow vendors and friends, it was lovely to spend a day together.
The event will be back next year and I highly recommend attending it. Here’s to more conversations, more awareness and more support for women at every stage of life
