Episode 69 - High Heels & Hot Flashes Recap!

In this episode, Sam takes you behind the scenes of High Heels & Hot Flashes — the in-person event series that’s redefining what menopause looks and feels like.

What started three years ago as a simple idea to reconnect after lockdown has grown into a powerful community movement where women and womb holders come together to laugh, cry, and have the real conversations that too often go unspoken.

Sam shares how her assistant Krysti’s catchy title sparked it all, how her best friend Nadine offered her Toronto factory to host the very first event, and how that night of laughter and tears inspired something far bigger than she ever imagined. Together, they’ve built a space that amplifies the voices of women of colour, celebrates inclusivity, and breaks down the stigma around menopause — all with good food, great cocktails, and a joyful Caribbean flare.

From the early days of uncertainty to the vibrant menopause marketplace, this episode celebrates community, courage, and connection. Sam also reveals what’s next for High Heels & Hot Flashes — including their upcoming 2026 quarterly events focused on men as allies and navigating relationships, divorce, and dating in midlife.

More than anything, this episode is a reminder that menopause isn’t the end — it’s an awakening. It’s about unlearning old narratives, reclaiming joy, and building the sisterhood we all need to thrive in this powerful new chapter.
