Unfiltered: Women, Hormones & Neurodivergence — a morning of honest conversations
Saturday 19 September 2026 | New Brighton Cricket & Bowling Club
Our Unfiltered: Women, Hormones & Neurodivergence event brought a room full of women together at New Brighton Cricket & Bowling Club for a morning of honest conversations, shared experiences, music, laughter and plenty of those “me too” moments.
And honestly, it was so good to see women turning up, getting involved and giving themselves the space to listen, learn and just be.
We were joined by some brilliant speakers who brought their own experiences and expertise to the room.
Dr Walaa Mohamed opened the morning with “The Woman I Lost”, talking about how women can lose themselves while caring for everyone else.
Rachel Bertenshaw spoke honestly about PMDD, lived experience and why women deserve to be believed.
Abby Brocklehurst opened up conversations around masking, late diagnosis, people-pleasing and burnout for neurodivergent women.
Tina Gibson shared her knowledge around menopause, recovery, strength, nutrition and body confidence.
Dr Helen Wall brought an important conversation around women's health, hormones and neurodivergence.
Kate Barker shared the importance of community and peer support through her work with Wirral Menopause CIC.
And of course, Sarah Sings brought live music to the morning too.
From the talks and Q&A to the stalls, raffle, conversations over refreshments and everything happening in between, the room was full of energy.
But the best part?
The women.
Seeing women come together, hear something that resonated with them, ask questions, share experiences and simply enjoy being in a room where these conversations were welcomed was exactly what we hoped for.
A huge thank you to every woman who joined us, every speaker who shared their story and knowledge, and everyone who helped make Saturday happen.
It was a morning of real women, real conversations and real connection.
And we loved every minute of it.
Thank you for being part of it.
