Liberating Menopause

The Boardroom Has Hormones Too. We’re seeing you in September to prepare you for why October matters. This episode sets the stage for Breast Cancer Awareness Month and International Menopause Day—not as dates on a calendar, but as reminders to stop ignoring what our bodies are trying to tell us. Menopause still carries stigma in the workplace, leaving many women to suffer in silence—hiding hot flushes, powering through sleepless nights, and fearing professional setbacks. But awareness is power. This episode opens the conversation around presenteeism, hormone health, and breast care basics. It’s time to ask: When was your last mammogram? Do you know your baseline? Are you waiting to feel a lump (A WOMAN'S QUOTE "“I don’t feel anything.” “There’s no family history.” These are common phrases we hear—but they’re not reasons to wait.

As a Certified Breast Care Specialist with 45 years of experience, I’ve seen what silence can cost. This isn’t just a podcast—it’s a bell ringer. Prepare to be aware. Because awareness saves lives.
