Menopause Is Coming for the Workplace - #140

from Afterpause Hosted by Jill Foos

Most workplaces are completely unprepared for what happens when their most experienced women hit menopause, and the cost is enormous. In this episode of the Health Trip Podcast, I sit down with Kim Hart and April Haberman, co-founders of MiDOViA and certified health coaches, to talk about one of the most overlooked issues in today's workforce: midlife women navigating menopause at the height of their careers. We cover why women are quietly leaving the workforce during their most valuable professional years, the real career impact of unmanaged menopause symptoms, what forward-thinking companies are doing differently, and what an ideal workplace environment for midlife women actually looks like. And whether you're a corporate executive, a woman re-entering the workforce, or building something new in midlife, this conversation is for you. In this episode, we cover: Why menopause and peak career performance collide The economic cost of losing midlife women from the workforce What organizations can do right now to change the conversation How to be the one who starts the conversation where you work Learn more about Midovia: Website: https://www.midovia.com/ IG: @mymidovia FB: @MiDOViA LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/midovia/posts/?feedView=all Stay connected with JFW: Book your 60-minute Menopause Care Consultation: https://calendly.com/jillfooswellness/menopause-care-consult Follow on Instagram: @jillfooswellness Follow on Facebook: @jillfooswellness Follow on YouTube: @jillfooswellness Grab discounts on wellness products: https://www.jillfooswellness.com/health-products Enjoy 20% savings and free shipping at Fullscript for your favorite supplements by leading brands: https://us.fullscript.com/welcome/jillfooswellness/store-start Subscribe to the JFW newsletter at www.jillfooswellness.com and receive your FREE Guide on How To Create Your Menopause Health Equation Ebook.
