The Bloody Brilliant Brunch by UPFRONT x THE CYCLE METHOD®
Lauren Currie OBE - founder of UPFRONT and Carmen Amador Barreiro - founder of The Cycle Method® are delighted to invite you to The Bloody Brilliant Brunch!
Think TED talk meets girls night in.
Know your cycle. Trust your voice.
Coffee, brilliant women, and the conversations that usually only happen in the women's toilets at a party, except we're having them on a stage, in community, with you.
Have you ever had your symptoms ignored by a doctor? Has your boss ever dismissed your health? Are you sick and tired of trying to explain the support you need to your partner?
Probably! We are two ambitious women who spend our days in rooms where we are the only woman, the youngest, the only person with a period and yes - we've had enough!
🎤 This is why we're putting the menstrual cycle front and centre stage. Literally, on a stage, with the experts, the research, the practical stuff nobody gives you, the answers to what you've been quietly googling, and yes, there will be croissants! 🥐
There are two things nobody ever taught us. Firstly, how our bodies actually work. Secondly, how to be confident in a world that does not reward confidence in women. We (maybe) got shitty sex ed and a diagram of a fallopian tube. We (maybe) got told by a boss to 'be more confident'. It's not good enough. We demand better for ourselves and each other.
🔥 Bloody Brilliant Brunch is where you unlearn everything you've been taught about your period and confidence. We're burning the old rules to the ground.
YOUR HOSTS
🧡 Carmen Amador Barreiro, founder of The Cycle Method®, business psychologist, and the woman who's turned the taboo into strategy for Deloitte, LinkedIn, Soho House, Zapier and many other brands.
💛 Lauren Currie OBE, founder of UPFRONT, bestselling author, and probably the person who has taught more women to take up space than anyone in this country. She's done it with Nike, ASOS, the NHS and Gumtree.
Together, like the big sister you've always dreamed of and the mentor who gives you a kick up the ass at exactly the right time.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
📚 LEARN · How your cycle actually works, what the science says and what it definitely doesn't, and what to do about it on an ordinary Tuesday. Plus how to ask clearly for what you need, and what to do when you're ignored, dismissed or gaslit, at home, at the doctor's and at work.
✍️ PRACTICE · We're not sitting and nodding for four hours (boring!). You'll put it into practice immediately.
🗣️ SHARE · The women's toilet conversation, but with a microphone and yummy food. The stuff nobody says at work. The week that wrecks you. The thing your doctor dismissed. Said out loud, in a room where everyone gets it.
🤝 CONNECT · Ambitious women building things and done apologising for it. Long lunch, no speed-networking nonsense, no business cards you'll bin.
