        <itunes:summary>How can STEM-led organisations retain brilliant talent and create workplaces where experienced

women can thrive?

This podcast series explores *menopause in STEM* workplaces, with a focus on helping leaders

retain experienced women and build more supportive, inclusive organisations.

Across ten practical, thought-provoking episodes, explore why menopause is a business, leadership

and talent-retention issue, and what leaders can do about it.

Discover why experienced women may reduce their hours or leave, how menopause affects everyone

differently, and how to create an environment where people feel supported without having to share

more than they wish. Learn how to have respectful, confidential conversations, make meaningful

workplace adjustments and challenge stigma. With honest stories, fresh perspectives and actionable

insights, the series explores how leaders, women and men alike, can drive lasting cultural change.

Designed especially for *women in STEM leadership* , this series will equip you to turn awareness into

action, support your people and help retain the experience and expertise STEM needs.

*THIS Kind of Menopause* is all about feeling informed, prepared and empowered to have the kind of

menopause that’s seen as the next chapter of life, not a burden, something to dread, or a career

limiting life stage. It’s also a time to be kind to ourselves and that starts with talking about our

experiences and learning to advocate for ourselves.

Combining workplace guidance, statistics and personal stories, the series’ central message is that

menopause does not make women less capable. With greater awareness, better conversations and

thoughtful support, STEM organisations can retain valuable expertise and enable women to continue

thriving throughout their careers.

*Press play and discover how leadership can make a difference.*
