Oh girl, I remember it like it was yesterday. Standing in front of about 200 people in a large auditorium, emceeing our annual teacher recognition luncheon. It was like suddenly I was at the end of a hot yoga class, lip and lower back sweating, hair drenched. Then woosh! The flow unleased and I could feel it soaking my pants! Well, hello, period! I haven't seen you in months! I started to freak out. I looked at my colleague, Charlotte, and my look must have said it all. Thank goodness, she hopped up to the podium and took over the show. I so mortified I hid in the bathroom for about 30 minutes! (later I found out, no one even noticed) At the time I had no idea that 82% of women experience menopause symptoms and 74% say it has a moderate to severe impact on their work! I thought I was all alone! Ladies! It's crucial that we normalize the conversation around menopause in the workplace. Hormones going wild? I've got some strategies for you girlfriend!
A few other things to remember; dress in layers because, you know, it could be your personal summer or winter at ANY time and sleep is your friend, get plenty of it (7-9 hours a night).
