Managing Perimenopause: The Working Women’s Guide With Georgie Kovacs

Brave Women at Work

Who knew that I would be so excited to talk about perimenopause and menopause today? The truth is, I have been searching for the right expert to chat with about this important topic. And Georgie Kovacs, my guest today, is exactly the right person to lead us through this.

Why? Well, selfishly, I am in perimenopause, and I want to understand how to deal with this. Many of my coaching clients have shared they suffer from brain fog, tiredness, and more, which I learned can be attributed to this stage of life.

As Maya Angelou said, “Once we know better, we can do better.” We can do better by understanding our bodies and how this change impacts all women. We can do better by advocating for ourselves at the doctor’s office. We can do better by spreading the word to other women. So, let’s jump in!

During our conversation, Georgie and I chatted about:

• What the symptoms of perimenopause are and how long this transitionary period can last for women.
• Why Georgie thinks talking about perimenopause at work is taboo and what we can do about it.
• How much perimenopause costs U.S. companies per year.
• Standing in our values in professional and personal situations.
• How I may have confused my burnout symptoms as part of early perimenopause. Or maybe it was a mix of both?
• How we can advocate for ourselves along this journey, including finding practitioners that look at various remedy sources for our symptoms.
• Georgie’s podcast FemPower Health, her free resources on her site, and where she’s taking FemPower Health next.
