More women are now leaving the PR industry because of perimenopause and menopause than because of childbirth.
That’s a staggering, often invisible, that’s shift happening right at the top. It’s not burnout or work-life balance pushing them out, but a phase of life that’s rarely acknowledged and even more rarely supported.
This episode is an unflinching conversation about the real pressures senior women face.
Why is menopause still a taboo topic at work?
How misunderstood are its impacts on confidence, performance, and retention?
And what must organizations and agencies do to support their best talent before they quietly walk away?
