Why this belongs at work.

All women go through perimenopause. For many, it is a real struggle, and they face it without the words for it or much help from the system around them.

Here is what the research shows.

13.4%

of 4,440 employed women in a Mayo Clinic survey reported adverse work outcomes. 10.8% missed work in the previous 12 months.

$1.8 billion

a year in lost US work time from days missed due to menopause symptoms, the study authors estimate.

About 7%

of surveyed doctors in training said they felt adequately prepared to manage menopause (12 of 177 who answered).

These are surveys, so treat them as snapshots, not the whole picture. About 16% of invited women answered the work survey, and 26% of residents answered the other. Links to the studies are on the sources page.

The talk

Perimenopause at work: nobody told us.

  1. The words. What perimenopause can feel like on an ordinary workday, in plain language: foggy, tired, short with people, and wondering why.
  2. What you can start now. Mindfulness, exercise and CBT skills: the non-drug tools the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists suggests for sleep and mood.
  3. Walk in ready. The questions to bring to your provider, and how to ask them.
  4. The receipts. Every claim comes with a source anyone can read. Nothing in the talk is medical advice.
From me, to you

I'm not a doctor. I'm a woman who lived this in the middle of a big career.
