Bridging the Gap: Relationships, Intimacy & Connection Through Midlife

Bridging the Gap: Relationships, Intimacy & Connection Through Midlife

Join us for an open, real conversation about how midlife transitions—especially perimenopause and menopause—impact relationships and intimacy. This evening is designed for both women and men who want to understand each other more deeply, communicate with empathy, and rekindle connection through the changes that midlife brings.

Menopause isn’t just a women’s issue—it’s a relationship experience. When we invite men into the conversation, we create stronger partnerships, deeper understanding, and more fulfilling intimacy for everyone involved.

Hosted by Stephanie Traver, WHNP, MSCP, founder of Vital Menopause and Thrive Summit, with guest speakers Traver Boehm, Kristin Warnaca, and Scott Papay, this evening blends expert insight with real conversation. Together, we’ll explore hormones, libido, emotional connection, and the ways midlife can be both a challenge and an invitation to deeper intimacy.

Expect warm drinks, light bites, and honest conversation in a safe, grounded space designed for growth and understanding.
