Let's remove the taboo and stigma of menopause

Diversity Matters

In this episode I want to talk about Menopause in the workplace to coincide with World Menopause Day, held every year on the 18th of October, to raise awareness of menopause and the support options available for improving health and wellbeing.

My guest is Lauren Chiren, CEO of Women of a Certain Stage a company that specialize in supporting employers in embracing and normalizing all life stages, from menstruation to menopause. Their mission is to eliminate stigmas and ensure that everyone recognizes when to seek timely and effective support.

Lauren is an entrepreneur, passionate about supporting people to successfully navigate menopause. She provides evidence to the UK Parliament, sits on the BSI committee that created the landmark Standard on Menstruation, menstrual health and menopause, is a regular commentator in the media and is a global keynote speaker, trainer & coach on executive women's wellbeing.

She left her senior role in financial services, in her early 40's believing that she was suffering from early-onset dementia. Imagine her surprise when her doctor informed her, she had 'just' been through menopause!
