Menopause, Identity & Authentic Leadership for Female Founders with Lindsay White

What if the moment your body starts changing is also the moment you finally stop shrinking yourself to fit spaces that were never designed for you?In this episode of the Pink Nest Podcast, Nika sits down with Lindsay White. leadership coach, entrepreneur, and host of the Female Founder Unplugged podcast. for a conversation that is long overdue, quietly radical, and deeply necessary.Lindsay brings together two worlds that are rarely spoken about in the same breath: menopause and leadership. Not as a crisis narrative, not as a cautionary tale, but as an invitation to understand what is actually happening in the body, why it matters for how we lead, and what becomes possible when female founders stop apologising for being human.Her work sits at the intersection of hormonal health, authentic leadership, and the particular pressures faced by women building businesses in a world that still wasn't entirely built with them in mind. And in this episode, she brings all of it to the table, with honesty, warmth, and practical wisdom that you won't find in a standard leadership development course.This episode doesn't just talk about menopause as a health issue. It explores it as a leadership issue, an identity issue, and, perhaps most powerfully, as a moment of profound personal reckoning. Lindsay speaks candidly about the Inner Saboteur, the self-worth patterns that quietly undermine even the most capable founders, and why authentic leadership is not a personality trait you either have or don't. It is, as she puts it, a deep work process."Hormones rule our bodies and mind." This episode is a reminder that understanding yourself, all of yourself, is not a distraction from good leadership. It is the foundation of it.IN THIS EPISODELindsay's personal journey and what led her to work at the intersection of menopause and leadershipHow the modern workplace is evolving and where it is still falling dangerously short for womenThe specific challenges female founders face that rarely get named out loudThe identity shifts that often accompany hormonal changes and how to navigate them with intentionThe Inner Saboteur Model and how to recognise when it is running the showWhy authentic leadership requires deep inner work, not just better communication skillsThe generational dynamics at play in today's workplaces and how they affect women differentlyWhy rest is not a reward it is a leadership strategy.Connect with Lindsay:💼 LinkedIn🐦 Twitter / X🌐 lindsaywhite.com☕ This podcast runs on coffee and quiet confidence that different minds build better worlds.
