A common backseat driver of #perimenopause, and total nuisance, is #brainfog, AKA perimenopause brain. It’s like pregnancy brain but then again, its not. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
People are much more forgiving toward our forgetfulness, the occasional word loss, and our momentarily scattered selves when there\u2019s a \u201cBaby On Board\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When it\u2019s perimenopause brain, those around us can be far less forgiving. Especially for #womenintheworkplace. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
At work, a pregnant woman finds herself in a protected group. Not so much when that same woman transitions into her perimenopause phase of life. She is met, often rather harshly, with the progressive plagues of ageism and sexism. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now if she is LGBTQ+, BIPOC, or another layer of non-cis and other than \u201cwhite\u201d, the \u2018ism stack can be crushing to her psyche, wellbeing, and her career. This is why #menopause is a #DEI issue and one every company should have not only on their radar, but in their policies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
