    Hot & Bothered: Let’s Talk About Menopause, Leadership & Living Well

    This week, we're hitting pause on our usual business chat to dive into something just as important—and something that’s been coming up in nearly every coaching session lately: menopause and perimenopause. If you’ve been feeling hot, bothered, foggy, emotional, or just not like yourself lately, this one’s for you. Stacey is joined by two phenomenal women—Susan Judd from HR Culture and Alli Garison from Embodied Freedom—for a raw, empowering, and often hilarious chat about what it’s really like to lead, work, and live through this transition. In this deeply relatable episode, you’ll hear: ✨ The emotional impact of menopause in leadership and the workplace ✨ Why so many women are stepping back—or out—of opportunities at the height of their careers ✨ What the “hot, foggy and fabulous” research reveals about how women are really feeling ✨ Practical tools to support your team, your clients, and yourself through this phase ✨ And why we’re taking the doors off the hinges when it comes to talking about it Plus, we’ll give you the scoop on our upcoming Hot & Bothered live event—because if you’re going through it, you don’t have to go through it alone. 📍 Hot & Bothered is happening 6 November at the Westport Club, Port Macquarie. Expect canapés, bubbles, plenty of laughs, and some truly powerful sharing. 🎟️ Book your spot via the links in our bios or at simplystacymorgan.com See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
