[ Hi friends! And welcome back if you were a fan of or performer at my previous storytelling show, SUNDAY NIGHT SEX TALKS. ]
My goal with this new project is to create a safe, educational, probably emotional and I hope hysterical space for women in these specific shoes to gather around a topic that deserves attention and, more importantly, community.
The “how to” in the show title is a big part of the mission. I want us to help show each other how to live as women without children in comfort and with joy.
For this series, I envision classic storytelling mixed with formats ranging from poetry and power points to stand-up sets and songs. Each salon will also feature an interview with an expert relevant to our experience.
I am so excited about what we’ll create together, for each other.
*this event is designed for an audience of women-identifying individuals who do not have children, but all are welcome to attend
