About this Event
Overview
Join Jinty & Lou from WomenKind Collective: Spill the Tea for a lively evening of frank conversation about perimenopause, menopause, women’s health and the realities of midlife.
Friends for 40 years, Jinty and Lou are known for tackling the things women are too often expected to put up with quietly, with honesty, humour and heart. Expect personal stories, hot takes, myth-busting and plenty of laughs.
There’ll be time to ask questions, share experiences and connect with other women over drinks and snacks, or simply sit back and listen.
Whether menopause is on the horizon, you’re right in the thick of it, or you’re wondering what on earth is happening to you, come away better informed, understood and a little less alone.
Your £10.00 ticket also includes a free day pass to The Bridge’s women-only gym.
About Jinty & Lou
Jinty Sheerin and Lou Hockings-Thompson have spent 40 years as friends, and the last six turning menopause from a hushed-up mystery into a proper, loud conversation.
Through WomenKind Collective: Spill the Tea, their Exmouth Menopause Café, speaking events and their #WheresMyClinic campaign - which helped establish the NHS Devon Menopause Service - they’ve become part of a movement determined to change the menopause landscape, busting myths one honest conversation at a time.
Expect hot flushes, hot takes and zero shame, plus a sneak peek at their new book, Tackling Gender Bias in the Healthcare System.
