EmPOWERed Puberty: A open conversation about how wonderfully magical our menstrual cycles + bodies can be

December’s Topic:
Do Good - Feel Good.

Gather with us around the fire for a meaningful evening of connection and giving back! This session, we’ll dive into the impact of Community Service—from learning about local volunteer opportunities to creating holiday cards for seniors. It’s a chance to make a difference, together. Why Helping Others Feels Good: Did you know that helping others can actually make you feel good too? During our campfire, we’ll explore how giving back naturally releases, what scientists call, “happy hormones”, helping us boost mood, strengthen connections, and build confidence. The Happiness Chemicals are: Dopamine brings pleasure and rewards. Serotonin lifts our mood and helps us rest well. Oxytocin bonds us with others and is known as the “love hormone.” Endorphins relieve pain and reduce stress. Understanding how to turn on these hormones and when is a tool not taught often enough and can provide a lifetime of rewards. What to Expect: Creative Giving: We’ll spend time making beautiful, heartfelt holiday cards for local seniors at Belmont Village Senior Living Center in Cardiff, brightening someone’s day while connecting with each other. Discussion on Positive Coping: We’ll talk about how helping others and making good choices can bring lasting happiness, encouraging healthy habits now and in the future. When we learn to lift others up, we strengthen ourselves, too. Join us in building a foundation of kindness, community, and self-care—one mother, one daughter, and one campfire at a time. With snacks and appetizers sponsored by Whole Foods! Sign up now to reserve your spot and be part of something special. $25 per person, includes supplies to make the cards.
