Navigating Menopause in the Workforce: The Conversations We Need to Have

Navigating Menopause in the Workforce: The Conversations We Need to Have. Menopause is not just a personal issue, it’s also a workplace issue—but too often, it’s ignored, misunderstood, or left out of corporate wellness conversations. In this episode, I sit down with employment attorney Mark Carey to break down the legal protections (or lack thereof) for women navigating menopause at work and what companies can do to support midlife employees.

We discuss:
✔️ Your rights as an employee—Can you ask for accommodations? What legal protections exist?
✔️ The stigma around menopause at work—Why many women stay silent and what needs to change.
✔️ How companies can step up—From menopause-friendly policies to wellness programs that make a difference.
✔️ The role of education—Because even with policies in place, many women don’t have the knowledge or confidence to advocate for themselves.

If you’ve ever struggled with menopause symptoms in the workplace or wondered how businesses can do better, this conversation is for you. Let’s break the silence and start creating workplaces where midlife women thrive.

Tune in now! And if you’re an HR leader or business owner, let’s connect—I offer corporate wellness programs, including menopause education, webinars, and cooking classes to support your employees.
