In this powerful episode, Helen Colquhoun sits down with menopause coach Nikki Saunders Fearns to unpack a conversation that isn’t happening enough - what really happens to high-performing women in midlife.
Nikki shares her journey from 30 years in corporate leadership to experiencing a sudden loss of confidence, clarity, and control during menopause - despite being at the top of her game.
They dive into how symptoms like brain fog, anxiety, and overwhelm don’t just affect how women feel… they affect how they show up at work, lead teams, and make decisions - often leading women to question their ability or walk away from careers they’ve spent years building.
This episode challenges the narrative that women are “losing their edge” and instead highlights the physiological changes happening and more importantly, what can be done to navigate them without stepping back.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re not quite yourself anymore… especially in your work or leadership - this conversation will make you feel seen, understood, and supported.
