Mental health and menopause are inextricably linked for many women. I am one of those women. I have suffered from anxiety since I could stand upright, but depression was not my thing. Not until perimenopause. I went from depressed to bordering on suicidal ideation. My body and brain both felt broken. I am not alone. 20-35% of women experience new onset or worsening anxiety or depression during the menopausal transition. CEO, Therapist, and TEDx speaker, @Esther Boykin will be joining us in @The Fuchsia Tent LLC on Friday, November 1 at 10 AM ET/3PM BST to discuss mental health during menopause.

I expected to learn many things at "The New Pause Symposium" hosted by @thisistheswell I did not expect was to have my life forever changed by Carol Tavris Ph.D. For those, who aren't familiar with this brilliant social scientist, I highly recommend reading her books, "Mistakes Were Made: but not by me," and @estrogenmatter co-authored by another favorite human, Avrum Bluming MD. Our discussion of cognitive dissonance was in relation to the irrefutable evidence that the 2002 Women's Health Initiative got it wrong when it came to the safety of menopausal hormone therapy for most women. Despite loads of evidence supporting the cardioprotective, neuroprotective, and bone health benefits of estrogen, the WHI investigators refuse to hold a new press conference to walk back statements that took healthspan away from an entire generation of women. Carol and I had deep discussions about the current state of polarization in this country and like with the WHI study, it comes down to severe cognitive dissonance. As human beings, we don't like to be wrong. We carry deep shame and most of us will double down on our beliefs rather than change them. Thanks to the work of Dr. Tavris and Dr. Bluming, woman who would never have the opportunity to even learn about MHT (HRT), will now have it as an option. Whether or not to take hormones should be an individual choice. Who we vote for should be individual choice. My hope for women and humanity is that we do not let cognitive dissonance get in the way of providing choice for future generations. #growthmindset #workplacewomenshealth #estrogenmatters #menopause #perimenopause #menopausesupport #patientempowerment

"No is a complete sentence."-- @juliettekaraman You can tell from my expression that this notion made my life better in an instant. At @feelfullyyou Juilette works with women to help them reconnect with their bodies after trauma and during the menopausal transition. In our @thefuchsiatent conversation she advised us to each practice saying no to something at least once a day. As a recovering people pleaser, I find it so hard to just say no without all the explanations, but with practice I find it getting easier. As we rebuild our relationship with self and our bodies, and work on new levels of intimacy in our partnerships, knowing what feels like a strong yes, vs. a hell no is critical.

Getting to help organizations and midlife women thrive together is the honor of a lifetime. Here are my 5 key takeaways from yesterday's conversation with @Boston College Center for Work & Family. ✅ Most leaders and organizations want to do right by all employees, and need to increase awareness and education to support midlife women. ✅ Menopause sits at the intersection of ageism and sexism creating stigma and fear for women, especially those seeking advancement. ✅ Misconceptions around the time frame for menopause (actually 4-10 years and sometimes longer) and symptoms (TEMPORARY neurocognitive changes are the most debilitating to knowledge workers), deter urgency. ✅ Supporting women through the transition, doesn't have to be expensive, and can yield increased productivity 📈 , enhanced job satisfaction, strong organizational commitment, gender parity in the senior leadership pipeline, and so much more. ✅ Failing to support women through midlife, can expose businesses to unnecessary legal risk.

Thank you to @Jennifer Sabatini Fraone and @Boston College Center for Work & Family for allowing me to share the importance of enhancing workplace support for midlife women as well as the mission of Fuchsia@WORK through @The Fuchsia Tent LLC, and to my co-panelists, @Michelle Travis, @Jennifer Kelley, and @Nora Lansen, MD for the incredible conversation.

Last Thursday The Fuchsia Tent LLC proudly sponsored our first menopause event, hosted by Let's Talk Menopause and Caire Beauty. I had countless conversations with women who shared their experiences with the menopausal transition, and the most common theme of the night was how they have been impacted in the workplace. The sheer number of women I met, who have left jobs, or are considering leaving jobs was staggering, and there was a universal feeling that many workplaces still lack support and understanding for midlife women. While it is wonderful that the conversation around menopause is all over the media, with celebs from Halle Berry, Oprah, and Drew Barrymore shouting about it from the rooftops, the conversation is still taboo and stigmatized at work. According to a Bonafide Health, "Over 75% of women do not currently receive the amount of support they require in the workplace," which leads to absenteeism, disengagement, lower job satisfaction and higher medical costs. It is time to change the workplace conversation for individuals and organizations. Tomorrow, we will be launching Fuchsia@WORK, a workplace focused extension of The Fuchsia Tent, where we empower business sustainability by enhancing support for midlife women. Here's to creating a measured, compassionate approach to supporting midlife women that will enhance performance, increase job satisfaction, and improve talent retention and attraction. Who is with me? #workplacewomenshealth #businesssustainability #menopausematters #fuchsia@work

The business case for compassionate leadership is clear. The business case for autonomy in the workplace is also clear. So, why then when it comes to menopause and mental health. separate or combined, do we ask employees to disclose their reasons for needing the time off, or view asking for time as weakness? During a recent interview with @embr labs CEO, @Elizabeth Gazda we discussed the imperative for US organizations to develop more compassionate, autonomous cultures as a means of providing support for those suffering from menopause symptoms at work. Just like with well-being, we can implement point solutions all day long, but until we decide that listening and responding with compassion are the minimum standard, we will continue to see humans struggle.

What do tonight's AMA in @The Fuchsia Tent LLC Community and how I am feeling at this exact moment have in common? EVERYTHING See, I am traveling tomorrow, and when I travel, I feel anxiety, panic, and I even tend to catastrophize. Traveling is a BIG trigger for me, and for years kept me from pursuing opportunities I really wanted because of the travel required. Not anymore. I feel the panic EVERY time, work on radical acceptance, and do the thing anyway. Perimenopause made my anxiety and panic worse which is not uncommon. Studies indicate that 23-51% of women report increased anxiety symptoms during the menopausal transition. Tonight, I will talk about the many different reasons anxiety, panic, and catastrophizing can increase, and some of the most studied ways we can seek relief. All month in The Fuchsia Tent Community we have a series of experts speaking about different modalities for alleviating mental health challenges that often accompany the menopausal transition.
