What conversation are you not having?

I’ve spoken about it before…
But this time, I’ve dedicated a full podcast episode to it:
​Menopause.
 
Before you scroll past thinking, this isn’t for me,
pause for a moment and hear this:
 
This conversation?​
It’s not just for women.
It’s for anyone who works with, lives with, loves, or leads a woman.
Which means it’s for all of us.
 
In this week’s UNFILTERED podcast episode on Leadership Live, Amy and I talk honestly about the personal, professional, and leadership impact of menopause.
 
Because it shows up at work.
In the boardroom.
At home.
In decision fatigue, brain fog, confidence dips and disrupted sleep that no one sees.
 
Here’s what we unpack in this episode:
🔹 The surprising symptoms of menopause no one warned us about
🔹 How it shakes our identity, confidence, and clarity
🔹 Why leaders, especially women, feel pressure to “hold it together” in silence
🔹 What partners and managers need to understand
🔹 The hidden cost of not talking about it and what changes when we do
🔹 How to open this conversation with honesty, empathy, and leadership
 
​This isn’t about complaining.
It’s about naming, validating and leading with courage.
 
Because the leadership conversation we should be having is this:
➡ How do we create environments at work and at home, where women don’t have to pretend everything is ok, to survive midlife?
➡ How do we model openness so others can show up fully too?
➡ How do we normalize change, not shame it?
 
Listen to UNFILTERED: Courageous Conversations about Menopause​
Because here’s the truth: We all go through transitions.
 
Some expected. Some not.
What makes the difference is how we talk about them
With openness, empathy and the courage to be real.
 
This episode is about menopause.
But it’s also about change.
And how we lead ourselves and others, through it.
 
Here’s my request to you:​
Forward this to a colleague, manager, or friend who needs to hear it.
