Team Scary Mommy has enthusiastically taken on the role of official media sponsor for the groundbreaking national tour, “Are You There God? It's Me, Menopause: LIVE!” This five-city event draws its inspiration from the Publishers Weekly Editor’s Pick debut novel by Heather J. Robertson, the literary pseudonym of physician and women’s health advocate, Dr. Heather Bartos. This series of events transcends the traditional book tour format, offering a distinctive cultural experience. Each stop is meticulously crafted to be a blend of comedic performances, open and honest dialogues, and a refreshing escape for women eager to share laughs, forge connections, and momentarily set aside societal expectations. Attendees can look forward to evenings filled with sophisticated beverages, engaging conversations, and exclusive merchandise that promises genuine utility.
