Fauxvember Society
Prioritizing women's health.
Designed by women for women.
Welcome
As a wife, a mother to two grown children, and a proud auntie, great auntie, sister, and friend, I understand deeply the pressures women carry—how family, career, community, and expectation can quietly outweigh our own care.
These experiences have shaped my passion for reclaiming my own health, one day at a time. There are moments when I'm aligned with myself and there are days when I'm not - and that's ok. Health and wellness is a journey - progress not perfection right?
That said, my aim is to bring together my 52 years of lived experience and my belief in the power of community to create a space where women can reconnect with themselves, restore balance, and feel supported in every chapter of life.

Our Purpose
Fauxvember is a women-led community created by women to support women’s health and wellness. It offers a safe, supportive space where women can explore what wellbeing means to them—at their own pace and on their own terms.
Each November, Fauxvember invites members to explore women's health across various aspects such as emotional, mental, physical, and sexual health. While November serves as a focal point for awareness and participation, Fauxvember supports women’s wellness throughout the entire year.
Fauxvember provides accessible resources—including blogs, podcasts, events, and conversations—designed to build and foster connection and empower women to make their health and wellness a priority.
How it Started
The Fauxvember Society Women's Health concept emerged during my pursuit of my Master of Arts in Leadership. During the self-reflection process I realized that I was not managing stress well - turning to that liquid gold (wine) to distract myself.
I've experienced the high-high and low-lows of my own health and wellness, and I have always wanted to create a safe space for women, like me, to have real conversations about facing modern life realities. A place for women to connect, reflect, vent, learn and support one another around pressures, expectations, joy, stress, aging, identity, wellness, and everything in between.
Fauxvember is about reflecting on the beauties and realities of being a woman, and supporting each other in our health and wellness journey.
