NextGen Purpose · Est. 2017

You are still leading. Still building.
Still showing up fully.

And navigating something nobody in your professional world is talking about — perimenopause and menopause, showing up in a career you're not pausing for.

The Primes is a curated membership community for high-achieving women navigating perimenopause and menopause while continuing to lead, build, and create at the highest level of their professional lives. Founded by Justine Reichman. 6 founding spots remaining. Closes September 21, 2026.
