You've traded the teenage angst for a mortgage and better wine, but the hormones are back for a remix. If you've found yourself Googling mystery symptoms at midnight, wondering why the thermostat is your new arch-nemesis, or why your moods feel like a rollercoaster you didn't sign up for-this is for you.

Join us for an evening dedicated to perimenopause, menopause, and the "new normal."

Meet Your "Part Two" Dream Team:
We're bringing in the big guns-who also happen to be real-life friends and frequent collaborators.

Dr. Rachel Rubin is a board-certified urologist, sexual medicine specialist, and a literal menopause rockstar. An assistant clinical professor at Georgetown and a leading expert on sexual medicine who isn't afraid to get real, she's a straight-shooter who has been featured in the Washington Post, New York Times, NPR, & Oprah Daily. She believes that when we have the right info, we make the best decisions.

Dr. Harita Raja is a board-certified reproductive psychiatrist and the founder of Bethesda Women's Mental Health. As a fellow Georgetown clinical instructor, she specializes in the mental health side of the hormonal shift-from the "brain fog" to the mood swings. She's an expert at navigating the intricacies of how our brains and bodies react to the menses-to-menopause transition.

Let's ditch the mystery. Between Rachel's medical expertise and Harita's mental health insights, we're covering it all. Come for the drinks, stay for the sanity, and realize we're definitely not in this alone.
