You almost flipped off the driver who took your parking spot this morning. By 10 a.m., the colleague clicking her pen in the boardroom is suddenly the worst person in the building. You’ve led teams for twenty years. None of this is who you are. So what changed?
In this episode, Karen walks through the Personal Code of Honour she co-built years ago — the four-anchor leadership toolbox of Integrity, Excellence, Communication, and Passionate Intensity — and what happens to it when the hormone imbalance symptoms of perimenopause quietly arrive at the peak of a high-performing woman’s career. She names the biology nobody told you about (estrogen decline symptoms running erratic, progesterone imbalance symptoms showing up first as nervous-system noise), pushes back on the 131-symptom overwhelm with her signature “I’m not here to teach you symptoms — I’m here to give you tools” pivot, and hands you the first tool: cycle mapping. The four-week map. The colour-coded calendar. The line that’s becoming her trademark — schedule your life around your cycle.
This is the leadership conversation menopause in the workplace should have been from the start. Honest, practical, zero filter, and built for the executive woman who’s done with trouble concentrating at work and ready for a tool she can use on a Tuesday.
