Unpack the economics of women's unmet health needs in my most recent white paper ↓
Headlines say women are leaving the workforce due to "menopause"
But that's not {entirely} true.
Read this white paper on why it's not our reproductive status that holds women back
What it's like for women on your team...and in your family:
01
Access limited: Millions without family doctor
By the time hormone, sleep & other changes impact productivity and bottom line, she has spent years trying to navigate (often, unsuccessfully!) her health on her own.
03
"Good" benefits often miss the mark
Many organizations have yet to review their employee benefit plans through the lens of a midlife woman or offer employees clear process for making recommendations.
02
History of dismissal
Over half of women leave health appointments feeling dismissed. Stats are higher for Indigenous & women of colour. Top two reasons for the visit: menstruation and menopause.
04
Missed diagnoses = missed opportunities
Failure to prioritize care for insomnia, iron deficiency, thyroid conditions and overall lack of investment in perimenopause-to-postmenopause care is leaving many employees fatigued, exhausted and frustrated.
And these experiences...coupled with attempts to resolve...overlap their most important, productive and influential career years.
We are standing at an incredible window of opportunity to prioritize women's health. Leading employers, wanting to close the gaps, are investing in menopause-in-the-workplace education, willing to ask the right questions, and reminding their employees they deserve to FEEL AMAZING at every age...while doing work they love.
Join the growing list of employers prioritizing women's midlife health

"Your presentation was truly captivating, and the level of engagement we witnessed was unlike anything we’ve seen in quite some time! You managed to turn what is often considered a taboo topic into a safe space for open dialogue, and for that, we are deeply appreciative."
Kristy K., Constellation Energy
"The feedback keeps pouring in from our audience on how wonderful of a speaker and relevant of a topic this was to them. We couldn’t be happier that we partnered with you!"
Michele B., Wella
"Your menopause messaging resonated on so many levels! I'm really proud of my company for prioritizing women's midlife health education!"
Things are a bit of a mess right now.
We are concerned about some of the messaging surrounding the menopause-at-work challenge (or opportunity!)
Ridiculous recommendations include: employees need temperature-controlled rooms, to dress in layers and put fans on their desks. These leaders don't know what they don't know, and it's hurting their employment brands.
More conversations about menopause don't work if they only perpetuate outdated misconceptions and stereotypes. More conversations about menopause don't serve your employee brand if they create a more divisive work culture, more alienation, or age and sex discrimination.
