JM Finn hosted an engaging evening with Kate Rowe‑Ham, whose work on women’s health and midlife wellbeing has resonated with so many. Her talk, Owning Your Menopause, offered a refreshing combination of research‑led insight and lived experience on a life stage that is too often overlooked.
Kate spoke with clarity and warmth about the importance of strength – both physical and emotional – during midlife. She highlighted how confidence can be rebuilt through small, sustainable habits, and shared practical strategies that felt genuinely achievable. Her message was simple but powerful: women deserve to feel informed, supported and empowered as they navigate this transition.
One of the evening’s more memorable moments came when Kate introduced a straightforward longevity test: the one‑legged stand. What began as a light‑hearted activity quickly opened the door to a deeper discussion about balance, mobility and the subtle indicators of long‑term health.
Thank you to everyone who joined us, and especially to Kate for a thought‑provoking event.
