DEAR WOMEN WHO DO,

Midlife is hot (in flashes and sustained bursts) for those in the business and media worlds. This week, we bring you Reshma Saujani, who speaks about her new podcast, and Tamsen Fadal, both of whom are becoming midlife pioneers and want you to stay informed.

Journalist and Menopause Advocate Tamsen Fadal on Menopause and Breaking the Stigma

Embracing change rather than resisting it has allowed me to grow and find new ways to contribute meaningfully. Each pivot is an opportunity to learn and a reminder that our paths need not be linear to be fulfilling.”
