Podcast Details:

In this episode of the 360 LeadHERship podcast, I am joined by Fiona McKay, also known as The Menopause Career Coach™, a multi-award-winning CEO, keynote speaker, and the founder of The Menopause Maze. Fiona brings both personal truth and professional strategy as she opens up about experiencing surgically induced menopause as a CEO at 42 while still running a growing business and showing up in high-stakes boardrooms.

Whether you're currently in the thick of it, supporting a team of women leaders, or planning ahead for your future self, this episode will help you step back into your power, redefine your narrative, and keep your executive presence rock solid - no matter the hormonal storm.

Tune in to discover:

  • How to prevent menopause from derailing your goal setting strategies or executive track
  • Fiona’s go-to mindset shift that every woman needs to adopt early in her leadership journey
  • Why work-life balance during menopause is not just a wellness issue - it’s a leadership imperative
  • What organisations and leaders can start doing immediately to support top female talent
