My Story
_edited.jpg)
I was a senior exec in financial services leading global transformation programs and projects. I was the go to leader for upcoming women in our business and then I hit a period of about 18 months where I noticed that my recall and retention wasn't as sharp as it used to be.
​
There were a number of meetings where I noticed my focus and confidence had changed. After a period of time, although my team was still delivering well, I had huge self doubt. My self confidence was on the floor. To avoid being seen as weak or vulnerable, I left my job.
​
I believed that I had early onset dementia. It was later, after three trips to my doctor, that he told me I'd just been through an early menopause. I was absolutely flabbergasted, relieved and the happiest menopausal woman in Bristol!
​
In that moment I knew I never wanted any other employer to lose valuable talented people, because of a lack of knowledge and understanding of menopause. I also don't want anyone to lose their self belief or think that they can't carry on just because they don't know how to get the right help and support.
​
And so I began bringing people together, I researched and learned everything I could about menopause, soon after, Women of a Certain Stage was born!
