She also explains why “powering through” is not the same thing as strength, and why knowing yourself, asking better questions, and advocating for care can be life-changing.\nThey also discuss how menopause shows up at work, from brain fog and sleep disruption to burnout, presenteeism, turnover, and the quiet exit of senior women who have spent decades building their careers.\nIn this episode, we discuss:\n* Why the lack of menopause education can feel so terrifying\n* How women are often dismissed, misdiagnosed, or told they’re “just getting older”\n* Why self-advocacy starts with trusting that you know your own body\n* The problem with expecting women to “power through” symptoms\n* How menopause impacts work, leadership, productivity, and retention\n* What menopause support at work can actually look like\n* Why small accommodations can make a career-saving difference\nRachel’s message is clear: you’re not alone, you’re not broken, and you deserve support that helps you feel like yourself again.\nAnd, as always, if you'd like to be a guest, email Lauren at lauren@compt.io","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/4PTwO-ILVlr9Lpv1ikI2JEwma3XVrB4F5YqJrIqT3W8/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9jY2Mw/MjM2ZTc4NjNmYTc0/YjAyOTM2MzgwN2I4/MGJjYi5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
