Renowned television personality and award-winning podcaster Petra Bagust and acclaimed journalist and menopause advocate Niki Bezzant join us at WORD to shine a light on the challenges ‘women of a certain age’ face in a hilarious, heartwarming, and wisdom-packed show.
“Being surrounded by other hot mess women is so empowering. You give us permission to go through this life-changing time with grit and remind us we’re not alone.”
– Auckland attendee
Petra and Niki have become two of the strongest voices in the national menopause conversation. Hot Mess is their rallying cry for better info, more compassion and a culture that stops pretending women disappear at 45.
From laugh-out-loud ‘hot mess’ moments to practical insights on reclaiming confidence and power, Petra and Niki will offer a transformative evening of wisdom and humour.
With support from Publica.
