In this interview, Andrea Donsky, a nutritionist, published menopause researcher, menopause educator, author, and co-founder of wearemorphus.com, discusses the challenges women face in the workplace during perimenopause and menopause with Lisa Boate, a menopause consultant, workplace educator, and host of the Transforming 45 podcast.

Topics:

• Lisa's journey from educator to menopause coach.
• The cost to businesses and organizations of losing female "assets" during perimenopause and menopause.
• When we are in perimenopause and menopause, our ability to handle stress isn't what it used to be, and tips for setting boundaries to help us.
• Changing the shoulds and expectations we were raised with.
• How a coach can help you move through the overwhelm of making decisions about big changes in your life.
• Understanding the ways in which we can impact the world without feeling frustrated that we aren't enough.
• Reflecting on who we want to be in the next phase of our lives.
• Pushing for policy change in businesses and organizations, so we don't have to advocate for ourselves when we're already feeling overwhelmed.
• Building alliances with male leadership.
• Creating open dialogue in our personal relationships, marriages, and relationships with our children, because these types of communications often weren't modeled for us in our families.
• Providing education on perimenopause and menopause as part of the high school curriculum is particularly important.
