This webinar took place on 22 May 2025.
Menopause is a natural life stage – but its effects on energy, mood, memory, and confidence can be profoundly disruptive, especially at work. Despite this, it remains one of the most overlooked and taboo topics in professional settings. It’s time to change that.
For our May 2025 webinar, we unpacked the realities of perimenopause and menopause, the impact on women’s working lives, and the kinds of support – formal or informal – that truly help.
Our guest expert was Karen Nebe, a trained coach whose personal menopause journey revealed its powerful neurological and hormonal effects. With a background in biology, neuroscience, and philosophy, Karen brought a grounded, evidence-based approach to this conversation.
Marina and Karen explored how women can navigate this transition more confidently, how colleagues and managers can show up with support, and how workplaces can become more inclusive for women at midlife and beyond.
