Menopause Awareness Day is here. It’s been a month of activity, conversation and raising the voices of women. Let’s commit to going beyond this and embedding this conversation through-out the year ahead. Perimenopause and menopause presents as a huge challenge creating blockages and disruption in women’s lives. Compounded by society not feeling the need to talk about this with respect and safety. It’s still not spoken about enough in the workplace with many women having to navigate this time alone. Some are challenged so much they step away from careers. Please don’t read this and think “it wasn’t that bad - you just have to get on with it.” Your story is not everyone else’s. This isn’t a one size fits all. I enjoyed spending time with the team at tms in their London offices yesterday where I shared my journey, colleagues shared too and I presented the data to help answer the question as to why we need to talk about this at work. Then we began the conversation about what we can do as teams and individuals to normalise and embrace this time together. Because it can be a time of huge growth. Women of menopausal age make up the fastest growing demographic of the UK workforce. But this isn’t just about women in their 50’s. My perimenopause symptoms began at the age of 38 and continue to challenge me 5 years later. We need to open our minds and hearts to the Intergenerational journey women go on throughout their life cycle. My objective is to support & continue to walk alongside women and to show up every day for my clients navigating this. I will continue to support organisations like tms to lean into these conversations. I was also with Age UK and Connection Support in the last few days delivering sessions as well as bringing this topic for the first time to Leaders in Sport. I’m excited to be with Helen Davies and her team today before jumping on here for live at 1pm. It gives me hope that things can and will change but it goes beyond a day, a week and a month. Hold accountability for yourself and your place of work to talk about this all year round. Only then will we normalise menopause and create so much noise that women will get the respect and treatment they need to support their health and well-being.❤️ #executivecoach #menopauseawareness #menopauseadvocate #menopauseatwork #opentheconversation #normalisemenopause #leadership #culture

Listening to these two visionary women—Brené Brown and Dr. Mary Claire Haver—on Brené’s latest podcast episode left me feeling both frustrated and hopeful. Frustrated because: 😡 How are we still facing such a significant gender gap in healthcare? 😡 Women like me struggle to find reliable, female-centered information on aging, instead of advice adapted from male-focused research. 😡 There’s still too much confusion around navigating perimenopause, a natural transition experienced by over half the population! Hopeful because: ☀️ Women like Brené Brown and Dr. Mary Claire Haver are amplifying women’s voices, driving change, and advancing research in women’s health. ☀️ Change IS underway—I believe that I am more knowledgeable about menopause than my mother’s generation. I see more open, informed conversations in the media shaping a more promising narrative for women. ☀️ I can continue to play a role in this change by expanding the career coaching I have been providing to women in perimenopause. My experience in this space the past couple of years has shown me how critical this type of support is to women (and employers), and I’m inspired to deepen this work. While I think the podcast is a great listen, if you're seeking comprehensive information to support yourself through menopause, I highly recommend following Dr. Haver on social media and checking out her latest book, The New Menopause. If you have your own trusted resources on this topic, feel free to share in the comments!

Through our partnership with Women in Football, today tms hosted Anna Allerton from Allerton Coaching & Consulting, who shared her personal journey, helping us raise awareness and further open the conversation regarding perimenopause and menopause. A huge thank you to Anna – and the 40 tms women and 15 tms men that attended - for sharing so much insight, which helped explain why so many women stop going for promotions or quit work altogether when going through this time in their life. We learnt there are six areas that businesses can do more in to support women at work who are experiencing perimenopause and menopause: - Policy and training - Data and metrics - Community impact - Allyship / shared stakeholdering - Making evidence backed information available - Focus on what works for your people Thank you for all the resources, making the space for people to have vulnerable conversations, and for sharing the wonderful Japanese phrase for this time of life, “a second spring”. Is your company doing enough? I would love to hear about successes in your journeys.

Stay Tuned—The (M) Factor Documentary... It’s about damn time: I felt a whirlwind of emotions: joy, frustration, empowerment, and a resounding celebratory YES, watching The (M) Factor documentary. Tamsen Fadal, it was incredible! The film confronts the menopause crisis head-on, demanding a fresh, human-centered approach to women’s health.  Workplaces read this:  It’s time we recognize that women in menopause are powerful and have so much to offer.  Companies should be streaming this documentary all day long for education, understanding, and compassion, supporting this huge demographic of employees. Especially today, #worldmenopauseday. Gather resources, create support groups, and bring in coaches who can guide the way. This is more than just a documentary... it's a movement to spread awareness and take action. Your radiant self is in there, discover how to go get her by working with me, trust yourself to begin a chat with akindcoaching. Compassionate kickassery for women ready for real change! #menopause #mentalhealth #transformation #womensupportingwomen

When I asked my former primary care physician what I should know about perimenopause, her response was, “Just buckle up for the ride.” Thankfully, this type of messaging is becoming outdated as more resources and awareness emerge. A great example is The M Factor, a groundbreaking documentary on menopause that premiered on PBS last week. It’s a significant milestone in advancing discussions about how to better support women through pivotal life transitions. As a career coach, I’m especially interested in the Women at Work segment from this film, which highlights some important statistics: 🪷 Women over 50 are one of the fastest-growing employment groups in the U.S. 🪷 Menopausal symptoms contribute to $1.8 billion in lost productivity annually. 🪷 In 2023, only 4% of U.S. companies offered menopause-related benefits. 🪷 In 2024, only 15% of major corporations plan to offer these benefits. Employers who are opening up conversations on this historically hidden topic are breaking down barriers and providing the support that allows women to unlock their full potential during this high-growth stage of their careers. Have you watched the documentary yet? What other resources have you found that are helping close the gaps in support? #themfactorfilm #womenatwork
