Menopause isn’t just a health conversation.
It’s a career conversation.
And yet, so many smart, capable women are quietly navigating brain
fog, exhaustion, emotional swings, and a sudden drop in
productivity—while still expecting themselves to perform at the
same level they always have.
In this episode of Good Girls Get Rich, I’m joined by my
friend and colleague Allie Theiss for an honest, grounded
conversation about how menopause really shows up at work—and why
pretending it doesn’t exist is costing women far more than we
realize.
If you’ve ever found yourself thinking:
-
Why can’t I focus like I used to?
-
Why does my energy disappear halfway through the day?
-
Why does work suddenly feel harder, even though I’m more experienced than ever?
You are not alone—and you’re not broken.
In this conversation, we talk about:
-
How menopause affects productivity, focus, and performance at work
-
What “menopause brain fog” actually feels like
-
Why women often blame themselves instead of their biology
-
The difference between working harder and working smarter during this season
-
Simple workplace accommodations that can make a real difference
-
Why menopause impacts entrepreneurs and corporate leaders differently—but just as powerfully
-
Nutrition, sleep, stress, and mind-body support for cognitive clarity
-
Supplements, hormone replacement therapy, and why there is no one-size-fits-all solution
This episode isn’t about fixing women.
It’s about understanding what’s happening so we can lead, work, and
live with more compassion—and more strategy.
Allie is a board-certified sexologist, menopause care provider, and
PhD candidate in mind-body medicine. She’s the founder of Menopause
Wellness and The Passion Zone, where she helps women in midlife
reclaim clarity, vitality, intimacy, and confidence through
science-backed, holistic frameworks.
She’s also a graduate of my She’s LinkedUp Accelerator, and it’s
been incredible to watch her step into greater visibility and
leadership with this work. This conversation is such a beautiful
example of what happens when women own their expertise and bring
important, often-overlooked conversations into the spotlight.
