And it's not just "hormonal changes"-it's a whole new chapter in your life. Every woman goes through menopause. Yet, most women know very little about the menopause transition, which is the most monumental hormonal change in a woman's life. This change influences our physical, mental, and emotional health. Many women may have negative connotations and worry about going through this transition. It can be a confusing time where you feel like you have lost control of your body, mind, and spirit! Menopause can bring about many unpleasant symptoms, such as hot flashes, anxiety, depression, trouble sleeping, and weight gain. However, every woman is different and will experience menopause differently, with varying symptoms.

We will explore why it is essential to think about menopause and make a plan to experience this important transition positively. Menopause is a natural process, and it's nothing to be afraid of. Still, silence, stigma, and shame around women's health are apparent during menopausal years. For many years, menopause has been shrouded in shame and taboo. In the workplace and beyond, the shame, stigma, and lack of understanding that characterizes the menopausal transition can impact intimate and professional relationships. A lack of awareness and support from employers and colleagues to help manage their symptoms means women are less keen to progress into more senior roles and may leave work altogether. It is time to bring menopause out of the Dark Ages and end the stigma and bias for so many women.
