114 Becoming Menopause Friendly with Melissa MacGowan
If you had to choose between quitting a job you've been working towards your whole life or staying there even though your meno symptoms make it hell on earth, what would you choose?
My guest today couldn't believe she was at that crossroad in her life when no 'third option' presented itself.
Stunned at the discrimination and lack of understanding, she decided to take matters into her own hands.
Melissa MacGowan is an ex C-Suite Executive and now the found of the Meno Collective, a membership that supports people who want to become better educated at menopause whether in the workplace or outside.
During our conversation today we touch on:
😬 The struggle to get clarity around menopause.
😬 Unconscious bias around what menopause actually means.
😬 Quit or carry on? Is there a third option?
😬 Menopause/age discrimination in the workplace.
😬 Menopause denial.
😬 The 12 stages of burnout model.
😬 What is 'Meno-whelm'?
😬 Carrying the mother wound.
😬 The positive things that come out of menopause.
😬 Menopause as a gateway to a new you.
😬 The power of the morning routine
😬 Why 10 minutes of exercise is enough.
😬 The chaos of juggling a big family (4 kids)
So if you're ready to become a little bit more knowledgable about menopause and the midlife transition, then this episode is for you.
