Women's Health

December

This month I shook things up a little. Our wonderful co-host Dian hosted the session at the Mandala Club Singapore — a beautiful change of setting that gave the afternoon a special feeling.

I made a card game with questions designed to prompt women to reflect on what they actually know about their own health. Each card came with information to go alongside it, so the session was both grounded and light — informative without being heavy. We moved through topics like bone density, muscle mass and growth in women, PCOS, endometriosis, and menopause. Questions that many of us had never thought to ask out loud, answered together.

And the table — I challenged everyone to bring something healthy, and they delivered. It was colourful, full of fibre, and genuinely one of the most beautiful spreads we’ve had.

About This Gathering

The Apartment Café is a women-centric community space designed to feel warm, familiar, and welcoming — just like being invited into someone’s living room. Each month, we set up a shared table with baked goods and drinks contributed by the women attending. Everyone brings something small — whether homemade or picked up along the way — and together we create a relaxed, café-style atmosphere. We pour coffee, make a plate, settle in, and talk.

Theme

This month’s theme was Women’s Health — a vast and vital subject that deserves openness, curiosity, and collective reflection. Our discussion touched on women’s biology and the myths surrounding it, why women’s health is understudied, how women’s pain is often dismissed, whether medical professionals offer women the best evidence-based options, and topics including chronic illness, menstrual health, endometriosis, and PCOS.
