The Raw Truth of Menopause

Menopause is so often spoken about in lists.
Hot flushes. Night sweats. Brain fog. Mood changes.

All valid. All real. But they don’t tell the whole story.

Sometimes the truth of menopause isn’t in the facts and figures — it’s in the feelings.
And sometimes, it takes something unexpected, like poetry, to bring those feelings to life.

Let’s be honest—menopause is still a bit of a taboo in many workplaces. It’s something whispered about rather than openly discussed, yet for millions of women, it’s a daily reality that affects how they feel, think, and perform at work. I’ve spoken to so many women who’ve told me that brain fog, anxiety, or sheer exhaustion have made them doubt their own abilities.
