š„ What happens when a generation of women hits menopause, and the system isnāt ready for them? š„
Around 10% of women leave work, 17% take extended breaks, and 27% retire early, all due to untreated menopause symptoms.
I was almost one of them⦠twice. š
For years, I was misdiagnosed, dismissed, and left to navigate a storm of symptoms that stole my energy, focus, and confidence. I didnāt know what was happening, and neither did most of the professionals I turned to.
When I was finally diagnosed, I realised the real problem wasnāt just hormonalā¦..it was systemic. Women at the peak of their careers were being left behind because workplaces werenāt menopause-literate.
Thatās why I founded Mimi Moon Meno š to help organisations build cultures of understanding, empathy, and education. Because when women are well at work, everyone benefits.
Iām so proud to share this double-page feature, āMaking Menopause Matter,ā in this monthās MiNDFOOD magazine, and yes, itās right after Julia Roberts! āØ
A huge thank you to Elli Jacobs, who captured my story with such heart, and to Sarah Connor in New Zealand, whose advocacy reminds us that this movement is global and growing. š
This World Menopause Month may be ending, but the work continues, in boardrooms, break rooms, bedrooms, loungerooms, dining rooms, and policy rooms everywhere.
Letās keep making menopause matter. šŖ
