Moms on Pause - Midlife, Menopause, and the Mundane

Sometimes a vacation isn’t about checking off a bucket-list destination or packing every minute with adventure. Sometimes, it’s simply about stepping away.

So grab your coffee, your suitcase—or maybe just your comfy clothes—and join us for a conversation about taking a break, finding your reset button, and embracing the beautiful, messy, mundane middle of life.
