Navigating Midlife: Menopause, Career Transitions, and Overcoming Ageism with Rani MacInnes


Listen Later

Have you ever wondered how you can balance your career and menopause?

In this episode of All Things Menopausal, Mary chats with Rani MacInnes, a seasoned midlife coach and mentor, empowering women to reclaim their careers, embrace their strengths, and redefine their purpose.

Rani is a powerhouse of reinvention and a champion for midlife women. With a dynamic career spanning anthropology, digital project management with giants like Nike and Nintendo, and even running her own award-winning boutique, she’s seen and done it all. Rani has navigated the twists and turns of perimenopause while breaking down the walls of ageism in the workplace. 

Here are some key insights you’ll learn in this episode:

1. Importance of Menopause Education: the critical need for early and comprehensive education about menopause–educating both boys and girls from a young age to understand menopause can help demystify it and remove the taboo surrounding it.

2. Career Transition During Menopause: unique challenges and opportunities for women navigating career transitions during menopause. 

3. Impact of Ageism: particularly in the workplace, is a significant challenge for women over 50. Rani discusses how ageism intersects with sexism and how it impacts career trajectories, often pushing women out of traditional employment roles.

4. Empowerment and Resilience through Coaching: overcoming limiting beliefs and embracing strengths as a midlife woman. 

5. Creating Supportive Work Environments: supportive workplace policies and environments to address menopause and ageism. Open discussions, educational initiatives, and better HR policies can help women feel supported and valued in their professional roles.
