Menopause is one of the most unspoken, and neglected contributors of burnout.

Menopausal women are more prone to depression, anxiety, and stress. This affects their professional and personal lives which results in a poor quality of life.

In this episode, we unpack the ways that women can mitigate the effects menopause, and what women in the C-Suite leadership positions can do to help ensure that they stay healthy. 

Through mindfulness practices and cultivating compassionate self-awareness, women can not only beat menopausal burnout but thrive through it.
