Why is menopause still missing from leadership conversations — and what does that cost women at work? In this episode of What the Pause?!, we explore the lack of female leadership during menopause and how that absence impacts confidence, visibility, and career longevity. Many Gen X women built their careers without visible female leaders, and during perimenopause and menopause, that silence often shows up as burnout, isolation, and women quietly stepping back.

This episode is for women navigating menopause at work, leaders who want to better support midlife employees, and anyone searching for honest conversations about menopause, women in leadership, and workplace burnout. If you’ve ever felt unseen during this stage of life, this conversation will resonate.
