The [M] Factor 2: Before the Pause - Film Screening & Panel Discussion

The [M] Factor 2: Before the Pause is a curated film screening and live panel conversation focused on perimenopause - the often invisible and misunderstood years before menopause, when many women first begin experiencing disruptive symptoms.

The documentary explores what happens before the pause: the early signs, the missed connections, and the gaps that leave many women feeling dismissed or unsure of what’s really going on. It reframes perimenopause not as something to quietly “push through,” but as a critical window for awareness, understanding, and support.

Following the screening, a multidisciplinary panel conversation will explore:

• What perimenopause really is — and why it’s so often overlooked or misdiagnosed
• How hormonal shifts can affect energy, mood, heart health, weight, intimacy, and identity
• Why early awareness matters, and how women can advocate for themselves sooner

Who Should Attend

This event is for anyone who wants to better understand the changes that can begin long before menopause.

It will be especially meaningful for:

• Women navigating perimenopause or noticing changes in their 30s and 40s
• Women who’ve felt dismissed, confused, or told their symptoms are “just stress”
• Friends, sisters, and partners who want to listen, learn, and show up better informed
• Healthcare, wellness, and support professionals
• Anyone who believes women deserve clearer conversations about midlife health
