Women at Work: What’s Changed, What Hasn’t & What’s Next

Liberating Menopause

The conversation around women in the workplace has evolved over the past decade, but many challenges remain. While representation has improved, women’s day-to-day experiences haven’t necessarily gotten better. Workplace bias, lack of managerial support, and systemic barriers continue to affect women of color, LGBTQ+ women, and women with disabilities disproportionately. One of the most overlooked aspects of workplace equity is menopause. Despite its significant impact on career longevity, menopause is rarely discussed in corporate settings. Many women experience brain fog, fatigue, anxiety, and physical discomfort, which can make work more challenging. Without proper support, menopause can lead to missed opportunities for advancement or even premature exits from the workforce.
