EPISODE 13 Bonus Episode Myth Busting the Menopause

Did you know that 70% of women in the workforce are navigating peri-menopause? It’s a stage of life that impacts millions

Joining us is Rachel Curry, Creative Services Director at Designate a fearlessly independent Advertising Agency. Rachel brings a powerful and deeply personal story about her sudden introduction to menopause while thriving in a vibrant industry surrounded by and leading young talent. Her journey has inspired her to become a mentor and advocate, offering vital support to colleagues and beyond.

Rachel’s experience and insights have helped shape menopause policies for her own company and other organisations, ensuring better support for women and greater understanding across the workplace and we think her “hot tips” (not hot flushes!) deserves to be heard.
