Menopause isn't just happening after hours. It's happening in meetings, in the middle of delivering on a big deadline and during career-defining moments.
It's something every woman will experience, yet many continue to suffer in silence because of stigma, lack of awareness and limited access to resources or support. But that's starting to change.

Better yet, we also have real, practical solutions to help women manage their symptoms and stay in the workforce longer.
