Girl Power Science News

Happy Full Moon from Girl Power Science 🌕

I have some great news to balance out all of the nauseating news out there.

Our “Perimenopause Power” parent education event at Lick-Wilmerding High School was a huge success! I had the honor of being part of an incredible panel of experts. What made it extra special is that we’re all moms who originally met years ago at The Hamlin School for Girls, when I taught their daughters back in the day.

Our powerhouse panel included:
✨ Dr. Kim Garfinkel, OB/GYN
✨ T Dyer and Carrie Kostiner, co-founders of UPELLE​
✨ And me

We met multiple times to plan the presentation (each meeting well over two hours!), and the response was incredible. 145 parents registered and submitted over 30 thoughtful questions, which fell into three main categories:

• What to expect: ages, stages, and signs of perimenopause
• Lifestyle recommendations
• Hormone replacement therapy

Our talk focused on these three areas, and the gratitude made it very clear: this information is empowering, necessary, and long overdue.

Here’s what parents had to say:
