Three Things Sun, Sept 27 · 1pm to 5pm SugarCoat at Phipps Plaza

That is the whole thing. One happy afternoon for women over 50 who are done being told health is complicated.

Why nothing has stuck

You were handed a list of forty things.

You bought most of it. It is on your counter right now.

You started strong, a month went by, and you stopped. Then you felt like you failed at something as basic as your own body. You did not fail. The list did.

What we are doing instead

Health sits on three things.

Get these three right and everything else you try will hold. Get them wrong and nothing will. West African women have known this a long time. So have the Chinese. Different words, same three things.

One

Feed it

West Africa saysBitter leaf. Pepper soup when you are low. Food is the first thing you reach for, not the last.
Chinese medicine saysWarm over cold. Cooked over raw. A cold body cannot heal itself.
Two

Rest it

West Africa saysYou are up before the sun and everybody knows it. Rest was never laziness. It is the work.
Chinese medicine saysEvery organ has its hour. Miss the hour, miss the repair.
Three

Move it

West Africa saysThe body was built to work and to dance. Both count.
Chinese medicine saysWhere blood and breath move freely, pain does not sit down.

Two traditions, half a world apart, saying three things.

The thing underneath the three

None of it works if you do not think you are worth the trouble.

How you think about yourself is what decides whether you keep going on a Tuesday, when nothing feels different yet and nobody has noticed.

Here is what I already know about you. You read this far. You are thinking about giving up a Sunday for yourself. That is not a small thing for a woman who spends most of her days on everybody else.

You already took the first step. You would not be here if you did not believe you still matter.

So we start there. Everything else gets easier after that.

Four hours, four things

No stage. No lecture. A circle.

Everybody can see everybody. That is the whole seating plan.

And a few happy surprises

Nobody leaves empty handed.

There are surprises waiting in that room. Every woman gets something. One woman gets something she will be talking about for a long time.

That is all I am telling you.

Your seat

A small room, on purpose.

Big enough to meet women you have never met. Small enough that you are known before you leave.

$147 One seat · Sunday, September 27

Four hours of the real answers, the physician hour, a few surprises, and an invitation you only get in the room. Food and drinks included.

Before Sunday, two women get a day of their own.

2 of 2 days open

What About You Day

Four hours. One woman. You.

You have spent thirty years being the one everybody leans on. This is four hours where the whole room is about you and nobody else walks in.

You pick the room:

$2,500

Two days exist. When they are taken, they are taken.

Tell me what you would use the day for.

I read every one myself. If it is a fit, I will call you.

Before you ask

The practical things.

Where do I park?
There is covered parking, or you can park right in front of Arhaus, which is the closest entrance to SugarCoat. Once you are inside, take the elevator to the second floor. SugarCoat is directly across from the elevator, opposite the Robert Graham store.
What do I wear?
Wear something that makes you feel joyful. That is the whole rule. Bring a wrap if you run cold, because the room does.
Will there be dancing?
There will be music. Dancing is completely optional. Stay in your seat the whole time if that is your preference and nobody will think a thing of it.
Can I bring a friend?
Please do. Book both seats at once so you are not sitting apart.

I grew up with West African women who kept themselves well with food, rhythm, and rest, long before any of it had a brand name on it. That is what I am bringing into this room, next to a physician who can tell you what the science says.

I am not here to hand you another list. I am here to take one away.

It was never that complicated.
