Breaking the Silence on #Menopause in the Workplace w/ Lauren Fisher, CEO of Embrace | OWR #Podcast

Let's start with facts, shall we:

✅ 1.3 million women in the U.S. enter menopause each year, yet,

✅ 60% of women do not seek medical advice for their symptoms due to a lack of information or stigma

✅ 1 in 4 women consider leaving their jobs due to severe menopausal symptoms

✅ Unlike the UK, there's no legislation in South Africa that protects women from discrimination in the workplace due to menopause.

Menopause in the workplace is a conversation that's long overdue, AND it's most certainly NOT just about hot flashes. 🥵

So today, we have Lauren Gamsu Fisher, women’s health expert and founder and CEO of Embrace | Women's Health, in the guest chair.

Embrace is a unique platform dedicated to transforming menopause care and education.

Lauren and I dig into:

✴️ the gaps that exist in women's healthcare, particularly in menopause

✴️ how menopause affects women in the workplace and the staggering data showing its detrimental effects

✴️ the stigmatization of menopause and the need for better support systems in professional environments.

Hit play, share your thoughts, and let's start normalizing these important conversations.
