YOU’RE NOT GOING CRAZY!
As coaches working with executive women, we have noticed a pattern. Women at the peak of their careers are experiencing perimenopause and menopause, which can interrupt and even end their professional journeys. Unmanaged physical and physiological symptoms affect their confidence, leading to overcompensation, burnout, stress, holding back from promotions, exploring new roles, taking extended leave, or leaving the workforce entirely.
It’s time to start talking about Menopause at work so that you are uninterrupted in your career.
MPower is dedicated to flipping the script on Menopause at work, going from:
Lack of awareness & understanding of perimenopause/ menopause
Increased clarity around the signs, symptoms and impact
Feelings of isolation and invisibility
A community of support and expert guidance
Career disruption

Helping you transform this complicated, confusing, feared and often dismissed journey so that you are uninterrupted in your career, reconnected with your confidence and armed to enter a powerful phase of renewal and growth.
