In this episode of Menopause Buddies, I speak to Wendy, from Australia. Wendy is an ex-corporate executive turned career coach. She shares her deeply personal journey through early menopause where she experience intense symptoms like hot flashes, insomnia, and mood swings.

Wendy struggled to maintain her high-powered career whilst experiencing these symptoms and felt unsupported by medical professionals. She eventually found help through alternative therapies, which she shares on the podcast.

Wendy’s story highlights the widespread issue of women leaving successful roles due to the challenges of menopause and emphasizes the need for more open conversations and support systems within corporate environments, not only in Australia but globally
