I recently had the opportunity to discuss the concept behind my upcoming book ‘Menopause Wingman’ on Leaders & Their Stories.
While the conversation covered some challenging perspectives on menopause that exist in our society, it highlighted exactly why this book is so necessary.
My goal remains steadfast: to transform the menopause experience into one of empowerment, understanding, and partnership. Sometimes the most important conversations are the difficult ones, as they reveal where growth is most needed.
Thank you to Richard for the platform to discuss this critical topic.
