Nobody Told Us

The Shades of Pink Brunch · Year Five

The perimenopause and menopause conversation, over brunch.

Get on the VIP Pink List

You are not the only one.

Nobody told us

The perimenopause and menopause conversation nobody has. We are having it.

It is not in your head.

Nobody told us what this season would feel like. The changes, the questions, the nights we were sure it was just us. This year the Busy Mom Playdates Shades of Pink Brunch puts it on the table, out loud, in a room full of women who get it.

The room · in the thick of it

You already know these women.

Old friends, new faces, one long table, and a whole lot of laughter. This year we are back, and we are doing it bigger.

Nobody told us we'd need our girlfriends more now than ever.

So we filled a room with the ones who already understood.

Michelle Rose, founder of Busy Mom Playdates

Your host

I am not the expert. I am the one who got us in the room.

I got tired of nobody talking about the things we are all going through. So I did what I do. I brought the women together, in their pink, at one table.

Choose your shade

Wear where you are.

Pink is the dress code. Tap the shade that feels like you. Nobody asks you to explain it.

From our community

They keep coming back.

What an amazing event! Powerful like minded women, awesome presentations, great conversations. Thank you for making this another memorable event.

This trip was by far the best trip I've ever been on! Michelle was able to curate this trip harmoniously from start to finish.
