I am incredibly honoured to welcome Cynthia Fortlage as my next guest on The Bloody Truth.Cynthia is an award-winning consultant, speaker, and strategist whose work centres on inclusive leadership, gender impact, and psychological safety. With over 25 years in senior leadership and a deep commitment to human rights, Cynthia brings sharp insight and lived experience to every conversation she has.In this episode, we’ll be opening up a conversation that often gets left out, about gender, identity, and what it means to support every body in a world that often assumes there’s only one kind of “normal.”Cynthia is a global voice for inclusion, and I’m so grateful she’s joining me to explore how conversations around cycles, care, and belonging can be expanded to include more of us.We'll be talking about...🩸 How the language of cycles impacts those outside the “typical” menstrual narrative💬 What it means to hold space for difference without needing to “understand” it🤝 Why inclusive leadership starts with listening, not labelsThis will be a nuanced, honest, and important conversation, especially for those of us who want to create workplaces (and communities) where everyone feels safe, seen, and supported.
