The (M) Factor 2: Before the Pause – Film Screening & Live Panel in Toronto

Before the Pause reveals the hidden reality of perimenopause, through the voices of women whose lives are disrupted and dismissed.

Join us for a special screening of The (M) Factor 2: Before the Pause, a powerful documentary that explores the real and often overlooked impact of perimenopause and menopause on women’s mental health, careers, relationships and overall wellbeing.

For too long, menopause has been treated as a private struggle rather than a shared human experience. This film brings those hidden stores into the open, offering validation, education and hope. Following the screening, guests will be invited to stay for a live panel discussion.

Together, we will explore the emotional, psychological, and financial realities of this stage of life andwhy open conversations and support matter more than ever. This event is an opportunity to learn, connect and be part of a conversation that is changing how we understand menopause.

The film is produced by Women in the Room Production and Take Flight Productions. Hosted by: Jackie Porter, Brooke Chambers,Manulife, AI Private Wealth, The Pause Technologies Inc.
