She’s Let Herself Go! How often have we heard the phrase, “She’s let herself go”? It’s a cruel statement, aimed at women, often when they’re most vulnerable. Historically used by men, it’s especially disappointing to hear women echo it, perpetuating judgment. It’s time to challenge this harmful narrative. This phrase assumes a woman’s worth is tied to her appearance, reinforcing outdated beauty standards. Men rarely face the same level of scrutiny. Women are judged for “letting themselves go,” as if looking perfect should be their priority. Weight gain, tired eyes, or a lack of grooming often reflect life’s pressures. From motherhood, grief, or mental health struggles to menopause, women experience significant physical and emotional changes that can impact their appearance. • Motherhood: Pregnancy and sleepless nights take a toll. • Grief or Divorce: Emotional strain often shifts priorities. • Menopause: Weight gain, exhaustion, and visible ageing make women an easy target for criticism. These challenges aren’t signs of “giving up”—they’re signs of surviving life’s transitions. Menopause adds another layer of vulnerability. Hormonal shifts and societal pressures to look youthful collide, leaving women judged for changes they cannot control. Instead of support, they are met with silence, shame, and criticism. Why This Must Stop 🛑 Judging women by appearance devalues their worth and perpetuates harmful stereotypes. • It’s demeaning to reduce women to their looks. • It’s unkind when women already face challenges. • It’s unrealistic to expect perfection in life’s hardest moments. Instead of criticising, we must foster empathy, celebrate women’s achievements, and reject unattainable beauty standards. When a woman chooses to prioritise herself, her family, or her passions over appearance, she’s not “letting herself go.” She’s reclaiming her life. Let’s retire this phrase for good and support women with kindness, not judgement. ♥️ #meg #menopause #feminism #supportwomen

Does it Matter if Men Lead Femtech Companies? The Femtech industry encompassing innovations in women’s health, menstrual health, menopause, fertility, and beyondis growing at a remarkable rate. With billions in potential market value, it’s no surprise that investment is pouring in. Interestingly, a notable number of these well-funded companies are led by men. Does this matter? Yes, and no. Let’s unpack the question. On one hand, these male founders likely see the immense revenue potential. Femtech has long been underserved, and the sheer number of women seeking solutions for specific health needs offers significant financial opportunity. In a market with untapped demand, business-savvy individuals can sense the possibilities. But there may be another factor at play: access to financial backing. We’ve all heard about the challenges women founders face in securing investment. Statistically, men are often able to attract larger funding rounds, perhaps due to existing networks or the perception of “familiarity” in the boardroom. For many investors, a business pitch from a male founder might consciously or not feel more relatable, contributing to funding disparities. Yet, the question lingers, can someone truly understand the complexities of menopause or period health if they haven’t lived it? As women in the industry, many of us know that empathy, shared experiences, and understanding of women’s unique health challenges often shape better, more impactful solutions. Male-led Femtech companies might sometimes lack that intuitive insight. However, when they build strong teams with the right expertise and lived experience, they can still contribute positively to the space. Ultimately, it’s not about excluding anyone but about ensuring diverse leadership and voices. Women’s health deserves leaders who are deeply invested in the outcomes, and those voices can come from any gender. That said, there’s no substitute for empathy and firsthand understanding in shaping the future of Femtech with products that resonate genuinely. Would it be beneficial if more women led these companies? Absolutely. But while we advocate for balanced representation, we must recognize that any investment and innovation in women’s health is a step in the right direction. The key is creating a space where everyone, especially women, can lead, innovate, and access funding on a level playing field. Personally of course I’m really routing for female led. Let’s give them all a chance to shine through investment.

https://lnkd.in/eMm_Ye-a It can really impact so many people as soon as the nights start to draw in and the temperature drops. My father experienced this for decades, choosing to move further south to Spain in the 1980s to try to combat something he had little comprehension of, but we could see it as family. Can the weather or season really affect the way you feel? Of course. We all know that right? But for many it can be debilitating if not recognised, and solutions put in place. Read this article I write last year on this very subject. #meg Menopause Experts Group Limited

One of the nicest gifts I had this year was my special mug! Thank you to my lovely fiancé. ♥️ It has kept me in coffee and positive thoughts all year. #MEG Menopause Experts Group Limited
