In this episode, Jennifer talks with Louise Neil, B.Sc, PCC, a Women’s Career Empowerment Strategist and founder of Menomentum, a movement dedicated to transforming how we experience and support menopause in the workplace. Louise helps midlife women navigate career pivots, reclaim confidence and align their work with who they are now, not who they were 10 years ago.
Through Menomentum, she partners with organizations to break the silence around menopause and build inclusive, supportive environments where women can thrive professionally—even through hormonal upheaval. She also offers 1:1 menopause doula support for women who are struggling with perimenopause and menopause, providing compassionate guidance, education and space to be seen and heard.
Louise is the founder of Pivoting Point Career Solutions, and co-host of The Empowered and Embodied Show podcast. Whether she’s speaking to corporate leaders or supporting a woman privately in transition, Louise brings empathy, honesty and a deep belief that midlife isn’t the end—it’s the power pivot.
Key points discussed:
