From classrooms to fire stations to doctors’ consulting rooms, the film reveals why early awareness matters for women’s health, careers, and sense of self.Following the screening, guests will gather in the garden for a relaxed and nourishing experience, including a glass of wine from Larnook Wines, a generous grazing table, light hors d’oeuvres, and a facilitated panel discussion with audience Q&A.Together, we will explore why menopause is not just a personal experience, but a systemic issue hiding in plain sight.We will unpack three critical imbalances affecting women everywhereHomelessnessMenopause does not cause homelessness, but it intensifies vulnerability. Relationship breakdown, family and domestic violence, employment loss, low superannuation, and unexpected health events collide during this life stage, placing Generation X women among the fastest-growing homeless cohorts in Australia.HealthDeclining estrogen significantly increases the risk of dementia, heart disease, osteoporosis, autoimmune conditions, obesity, and serious mental health challenges. Yet women remain under-researched, under-diagnosed, and too often told their symptoms are stress, ageing, or “just part of being a woman”.WorkplacesHighly skilled women are exiting the workforce during their peak earning years due to a lack of awareness, flexibility, and support. The economic cost is enormous, but the personal cost to women’s confidence, security, and wellbeing is even greater.Our inspiring panel includesClaire, Physiotherapist and founder of Olive and Bee, sharing her journey of making a difference in women’s intimate healthAlexia (Lexi), Founder and Director of Larnook Wines, speaking to the reality of perimenopause alongside business ownershipGemma, Founder of Hidden Gem, sharing her lived experience of breast cancer, medically induced menopause, and running a businessAmelia, Founder and Producer of Peri-M Party, and creator of an upcoming documentary exploring the connection between perimenopause and brain healthLeanne, CEO of the Eastwood Community Centre, with a career spanning farming, technology, leadership, and sharing her own midlife journeyMegan, Event Host, The Menopause Concierge®, founder of Mimi Moon Meno, workplace menopause trainer and coach, licensed Menopause Expert Professional, published author, and sought-after speaker on all things menopauseWe are also delighted to introduce Gianna, event photographer and founder of Velvet Thyme, whose work captures women with honesty, dignity, and depth.This event may also contribute to a future local documentary, offering attendees the opportunity to be part of a broader storytelling movement.This is an afternoon for connection, courage, education, and shared understanding.Because balancing the scales for women means talking about the bleeding obvious.Ticket includesFilm screening,a glass of wine, grazing table, light hors d’oeuvres, panel discussion, and Q&A.Places are limited.
