In this episode we're joined by four women living and working in Asia. From the former CEO of Visa to three women who are pioneering work in menopause and FemTech in Asia, these leaders have a lot to say when it comes to being the change for the change. We're joined by Lindsay Davis, Founder & Co-CEO, FemTech Association Asia, Maaike Steinebach, Co-CEO, FemTech Association Asia, Lisa Tarquini, Founder, The Menopause Space and Valery Tan, Co-Founder, Surety.
The stigma around menopause in the workplace is real. This article from Harvard Business Review illuminates some fascinating research that we should all take to heart. One big insight is that women who share that they are going through menopause are seen as more credible.
"We asked more than 240 full-time workers to imagine that they were attending a meeting in which a female, middle-aged colleague was observed having a hot flash: She was visibly uncomfortable, flushing, fanning herself, and wiping sweat from her face. In one scenario, when a coworker asked how she was doing, she said, “I’m ok, just warm,” while in the other scenario, she replied, “I’m ok, it’s just that menopausal time of life.” When the woman openly disclosed that her symptoms were caused by menopause, she was seen as more confident, stable, and leader-like than when she claimed to be “just warm.”'
If that's not a call to action to be open and vulnerable, we don't know what is. Join the community and get updated on upcoming live shows at https://thisishysterical.com/

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
