    Ep 74 Bullying

    Hello everyone, and welcome back to Thriving with Sarah and Jenny."Today's episode takes a detour from our usual uplifting discussions to tackle a darker, yet incredibly important topic: bullying in the workplace. It's something that significantly hinders one's ability to thrive, both in their personal life and professional environment. Bullying can manifest in various forms, from overt physical intimidation to more subtle psychological tactics. These actions not only harm the individuals targeted but can also significantly impact an organisation’s culture, breeding an environment where fear and mistrust flourish. During our discussion, we explore why bullying might be on the rise, touching upon the global stress and fear propagated by the recent pandemic as potential contributing factors. We also delve into the importance of recognising bullying behaviour, not just in others but within ourselves, and the crucial first steps to take when faced with such situations. This includes self-awareness, documentation, and utilising assertive communication strategies to address and hopefully resolve these conflicts. We're diving deep into this tough topic today, hoping to shed light on the dark corners of workplace dynamics and offer insights into creating a healthier, more respectful environment for all. Join us as we navigate through the complex issue of bullying, armed with practical advice, personal reflections, and a determination to make a positive change.

    Ep 73 Let's Talk Menopause

    Welcome to our latest episode of Thriving with Sarah and Jenny. Today, we delve into a topic that, until recently, has been shrouded in silence, especially in the workplace: menopause. As societies in the UK and Australia begin to embrace menopause-friendly workplace accreditations, we're witnessing a pivotal shift in how menopause is perceived and discussed. This episode is not just for women navigating through menopause but also for our male listeners, offering insights that can foster understanding and support within both personal and professional relationships. Our conversation spans the spectrum of menopause symptoms, from the well-known hot flushes to the less discussed but equally impactful cognitive changes, such as memory lapses and concentration difficulties. We explore how these changes can significantly affect women's lives, impacting everything from job performance to personal relationships. Surprisingly, a significant number of women suffer in silence, with many choosing to leave their careers due to the lack of support and understanding. Sarah shares her personal journey, highlighting the unexpected onset of perimenopausal symptoms and the challenges of navigating this new phase. We discuss the importance of normalising menopause discussions, updating workplace policies, and embracing flexibility to support affected individuals. From practical adjustments in the workplace to fostering open dialogues, we delve into strategies that can create a more inclusive and empathetic environment for everyone going through menopause. As we conclude, we emphasise the temporary nature of menopausal symptoms and encourage both women and men to engage in conversations about menopause. By sharing experiences and insights, we can collectively work towards demystifying menopause and supporting each other through this natural life stage. Join us in this enlightening discussion and help us spread awareness and understanding of menopause in the workplace and beyond.
