In this episode, our conversation centers around menopause — something that affects millions of women worldwide yet is often misunderstood and under-discussed. Our guest, Tamsen Fadal, is an advocate for menopause education, sharing insights into the community for women she is creating, her upcoming documentary and book. From the lack of research to the ongoing stigma and limited understanding in both healthcare and the workplace, we explore the challenges women face during this life stage and the growing movement to provide better resources, support and early education.

Join us as we discuss:

• Why there is a lack of understanding about perimenopause, menopause, and their symptoms
• The lasting impact of misinformation, including the 2002 study that caused widespread fear about hormone replacement therapy (HRT)
• Why it’s crucial for doctors to be educated on menopause and how to find the right care
• The social and emotional toll menopause can have on relationships
• What companies can do to support women in the workplace and why a menopause policy should become the norm.
• The role of community and how platforms, like Tamsen's, are helping women share their experiences and find support.
