Let’s be honest—when was the last time someone talked openly about menopause at work without it being whispered or wrapped in shame? In this episode, I sit down with three brilliant women who are changing that narrative in bold, beautiful ways. April Haberman and Kim Hart, the powerhouse duo behind MiDOViA, are on a mission to bring menopause into the conversation, especially in the workplace. Their organization is the first U.S.-based accreditation for menopause-friendly employers. Translation? They’re building a future where women aren’t just expected to power through hot flashes and brain fog—they’re actually supported. We’re also joined by the ever-insightful Mallory Hall, a wealth advisor with Alterra Advisors, who gets that menopause isn't just a health issue—it has deep financial implications, too. Think: retirement timing, long-term planning, and the cost of staying silent. Together, we unpack: Why menopause in the workplace is the mental health conversation of this decade How unspoken symptoms lead to burnout, resignation, and a $1.8 billion economic impact What real support looks like (hint: it goes way beyond offering a fan) The invisible toll of brain fog, fatigue, and emotional shifts—and how we shift the culture from "cope" to "care" Why preparing a support team before menopause hits is crucial How identity, relationships, and financial security are all deeply intertwined with this transition This episode is for any woman who’s ever felt unseen in midlife—and for every HR leader who wants to do better by the women on their teams. Grab your tea, your journal, and maybe a fan (we still need those), and tune in.
