Invite Dr. Gigi Burke to Speak
Dr. Gigi Burke is a Wellbeing Partner who walks with Black and Brown women through the shifting seasons of perimenopause, menopause, and midlife. Her work centers the emotional, physical, and identity-level changes that often go unspoken.
Gigi speaks in settings where women and those who support them want a clearer and more human understanding of the emotional and physical shifts of this season of life. Her talks offer language, context, and grounding for experiences that are often overlooked or minimized. She brings sincerity, care, and a natural sense of humor that helps people exhale, recognize themselves, and feel less alone in what they are navigating.
Her wildest dream is to help shape nourishing environments for humans living and working on celestial bodies such as the Moon, Mars, Europa, or Titan. She carries that dream lightly and playfully, because if she can imagine supporting people in lower gravity, there is certainly hope for doing it here on Earth. In every space she enters, she invites people to imagine systems, relationships, and cultures where our full humanity is welcomed, not withheld.
Here's Her Signature Talks
What You Feel Is Real: Honoring Emotion in Perimenopause, Menopause, and Midlife
This talk centers the emotional landscape of this season. The feelings that rise quietly. The ones we have learned to push aside. The ones we do not always have language for. Gigi speaks to the emotional truth of perimenopause and menopause, especially for Black and Brown women who are often expected to hold everything together without space for their inner lives.
She offers a way to understand emotion not as something to control or correct, but as something real, valid, and deeply human. Audiences leave with a sense of recognition, relief, and permission to feel what they feel without apology.
Finding Yourself Again in a Changing Body and Changing Mind
This talk explores the physical and cognitive shifts of perimenopause and menopause. Changes in energy, focus, memory, mood, and the way you experience yourself from the inside out. Gigi offers a grounding, non clinical space to explore what happens when the body and mind begin moving differently than they once did.
She speaks honestly and gently about how disorienting these shifts can be, especially for women who have spent years overriding their own needs. Audiences leave with deeper understanding, language to name what they are experiencing, and the reminder that they do not have to navigate this transition alone.
Short Reflections From Past Audiences
"Dr. Burke, thank you so much for your insights and excellent presentation! We learned a great deal from you about why we need to take care of ourselves."
"Thank you for presenting and sharing your insights. You were great!"
"THANK YOU for acting as a guest speaker at the EWB-Atlanta Chapter meeting. I greatly enjoyed your presentation and teaching style."
"I was most struck by the biological and physiological intelligence and explanations in your presentation. I was fascinated by how much you knew and communicated. The reality of the information you presented is helpful to me as I try and help others be more emotionally intelligent too many people that grew up thinking that emotions have no place in the working world."
