    The Cycle No One Prepared Us For

    Unlock the truth about menopause and career in this eye-opening conversation with Cheryl. After a sudden mental breakdown and years of unspoken struggles, she reveals how body changes, workplace misunderstanding, and lack of support pushed her to a breaking point—and ultimately, empowerment. If you're a woman navigating midlife shifts, or a manager clueless about these realities, this episode is your essential guide to breaking silence and creating meaningful change. Imagine losing half an hour of memory at work, feeling misunderstood, or hiding menopause symptoms to avoid judgment—Cheryl's raw story exposes what many women endure quietly. She shares the pivotal moment when her body forced her to step back from management, not out of weakness, but self-preservation. Discover how hormone therapy transformed her quality of life, mood, sleep, and even sex drive, proving that understanding and support make all the difference.
