Unbalanced: Hormones, Mental Health & the Hidden Cost of Being Female If you’ve ever felt like no one really talks about how much women carry—especially during times like puberty, pregnancy, after having a baby, or during menopause—you’re not alone.
These big life changes affect more than just our bodies. They shape how we think, feel, relate to others, and show up in the world. And yet, many women are told to just deal with it, to “get back to normal,” or to push through.
But what if the problem isn’t you?
What if the real issue is that our healthcare system wasn’t built with women in mind?
Jaime Charlebois, Waypoint’s Director, Access & Flow, and Amber Sperling, Registered Social Worker and Psychotherapist, will lead this virtual event, to talk about what’s really going on beneath the surface—physically, emotionally, and socially—and why so many women feel overwhelmed, anxious, or unseen during these major life transitions.
You’ll learn:
Why it feels so heavy sometimes:
From hormones to daily stress to social expectations, we’ll unpack why these transitions are so tough—and why it’s not your fault.
What’s missing in care today:
We’ll explore how the healthcare system often overlooks women’s needs and how this can leave you feeling unheard, rushed, or alone.
How we can start to change things together:
This isn’t about doing more or fixing yourself. It’s about recognizing that the emotional weight of these transitions is real—and that while solutions exist, they haven’t been designed or delivered in ways most women can access.
If you’ve ever felt dismissed, tired, or like you’re carrying more than your share—this session is for you.
Join us for a meaningful, honest conversation that just might shift the way you see your story—and how care could be delivered.
Let’s stop pretending this is just part of being a woman. The emotional weight of these biological transitions is real — our systems have the tools and should be designed with women in mind.
It’s time for care that meets women where they are. Register now and be part of the shift.
