Episode Details

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.
