65: Effects of Menopause in the Workplace with Julia (Kinslow) Sorescu
A 2014 survey by Working Mother Media and Pfizer found that almost half of women said they believed their symptoms made their work-life more difficult, with 1 in 5 saying they altered their schedule over it. A 2020 study found that the more issues women experienced with menopause, the more their job performance suffered.
Julia (Kinslow) Sorescu helps mid-career women wake up to their most compelling selves. In this episode, Julia and I talk about what menopause is, how it impacts your career, and how men can be wonderful allies to the women they care about during this time.
