Epidode 6: Name It to Tame It: The Invisible Load of the Menopause Transition and How It Shows Up in Business

We talk a lot about the invisible load for younger women, but what happens to it as we age? In this episode, Belinda explores how the invisible load shifts for women in midlife from the sandwich generation caring responsibilities to the very real cognitive and physical load that comes with the perimenopause and menopause transition. And for women in business, where there's no HR department, no sick leave, and no one to delegate to that load lands somewhere specific.In this episode:Why the invisible load doesn't disappear in midlife, it just looks differentThe sandwich generation reality and what that caring load actually costsHow perimenopause and menopause directly affect the brain, memory, focus, emotional regulation, and stress toleranceWhy brain fog, disrupted sleep, and shifting energy aren't character flaws,  they're biologyHow scarcity thinking shows up in business decisions during this transitionThe concept of "sageessence" and what it means to lead from wisdom rather than hustleWhy "name it to tame it" might be the most important thing you do this weekKey reminder from this episode:The transition period for perimenopause can be up to 10 years and in Australia, research suggests it can start as early as age 42. If things feel harder than they used to, it might not be you. It might be your biology and that changes everything about how you respond to it.Find Belinda at Website: www.belindabayliss.co, Instagram: @belindabayliss.co,  Facebook: Belinda Bayliss Co, or send her a note at [email protected]
