Not sure this is what we had in mind when we said we wanted to be equals.
We didn't want to be still doing the cooking, cleaning, ironing, childcare AND going to work!!!
That was never the plan but yet here we are in 2026 still doing most things...
Who does the school phone first? Usually the mum even if the other parent is working from home (hear this all the time from my clients).
Most of the time it works ok, BUT and its a big BUT it can fall apart when hormones are a bit out of sync - a few late nights, a little too much alcohol, disrupted sleep, eating on the run, illness.
It's no wonder then by the time perimenopause starts to creep up on us we run out of steam, our energy is up and down (like oestrogen - its having the best party but it forgot to invite us to!!), we don't want to do the things that we used to love to do and work....well that can do one some days.
Many women don't apply for senior roles or drop out of them at this point as anxiety, brain fog, insomnia, unsupportive workplaces and life pressures (children and aging parents).
We deserve better, but we also need to prepare for perimenopause well before it starts - all women will go through perimenopause- naturally, surgically or medically so why aren't we being taught about how to prepare for it better from a younger age?
I'm working on bringing a new membership out for women to address exactly this gap.
You will get access to my 40 years worth of learnings including my Mastership in Womens Health learnings.
