🎬Hormones to Heroism: A Powerful Short Film You Must See 💪🎥

Empowering You Through Science, Story, and Self-Care

Hello, Beautiful Community. 

This week, inspiration meets empowerment! We're thrilled to highlight an incredible short film starring Joci, the talented daughter of our beloved Hormone Guru. The film is currently featured at the Easter Seals Disability Film Festival. Scroll down for the YouTube video and link.

The Hormone Guru and her daughter Joci

Just as women bravely navigate hormonal shifts through peri-menopause and menopause, Joci's powerful film resonates deeply with the strength, resilience, and courage we all embody when overcoming life's challenges.

đź’– Invisible Challenges & Shared Strength

Women's hormonal changes—such as those experienced during perimenopause and menopause—can feel isolating, confusing, and even overwhelming. Hormonal symptoms like anxiety, fatigue, mood swings, and brain fog often feel like hidden battles we must silently endure. Yet, there is profound strength and empowerment in openly sharing these invisible struggles. We foster deeper connections, understanding, and collective healing through honest storytelling and advocacy.

🌟 Empowerment Through Advocacy & Representation

Representation is important—making women's unique hormonal experiences more visible or raising awareness for disability advocacy through compelling storytelling. Joci's incredible short film, submitted for the Easter Seals Disability Film Festival, highlights powerful themes about courage, resilience, and empowerment. Though the film creatively portrays two women in wheelchairs forced into competition for survival (think "Squid Games" meets "Hunger Games"), at its heart is a powerful message about the strength women possess when faced with adversity. This resonates profoundly with women's daily tenacity when navigating hormonal health, advocating for their well-being, and supporting one another through life's inevitable challenges.

🌸 A Legacy of Advocacy & Love

As many of you know, Joci is the daughter of our beloved Hormone Guru—an inspiring woman who has passionately advocated for countless women on their disability journeys. Witnessing how her legacy of empowerment, advocacy, and resilience has influenced the next generation is beautiful and inspiring. This reminds us that the conversations we have today—about hormones, menopause, disability, and women's wellness—empower us and shape the future for future generations.
