What's Happening?
A day-long event called Thrive is set to take place in Lexington, focusing on self-care and empowerment for women. Co-founded by certified menopause movement specialist Lisa King, the event aims to provide a safe space for women to discuss topics such as financial wellness, nutrition, and hormone imbalances. The event will feature various speakers and sessions, including one led by King on menopause, movement, and the nervous system. Physical therapist Kelsey Karnes, another co-founder, highlights the importance of addressing pelvic health, noting that a significant number of women experience pelvic floor dysfunction. Thrive is designed to offer women a break from daily routines to focus on self-care and personal growth.
Why It's Important?
Thrive addresses critical
issues often overlooked in women's health, such as menopause and pelvic health, providing a platform for education and empowerment. By focusing on self-care, the event encourages women to prioritize their well-being, which can lead to improved health outcomes and quality of life. The event also fosters community and support among women, which is essential for addressing shared challenges and promoting mental and emotional health. As women often juggle multiple roles, Thrive offers a much-needed opportunity to step back and focus on personal needs, potentially leading to long-term benefits in their personal and professional lives.
What's Next?
Thrive is scheduled for March 1st at the Embassy Suites in Lexington, with expectations to triple attendance from the previous year. The event's success could lead to more frequent gatherings and expanded topics, further supporting women's health and empowerment. As awareness grows, similar events may emerge in other regions, broadening the impact and reach of the initiative. The co-founders aim to continue providing high-quality information and resources, ensuring that women leave the event feeling informed and supported.
