April’s theme for Optionality is one of our top level topics, energy management. It’s not really work-life balance. It’s not really self-care. it’s about how to maintain, assess, and properly allocate your energy, especially when you have less of it.
The thing that had the most significant impact on my energy levels in the past 10 years was going through perimenopause, then menopause.
Certainly there is more conversation about peri/meno now than there was then, but even as it tends to be symptom-focused, we often elide over those symptoms that we may feel are detrimental to our professional reputation, namely fatigue and brain fog.
Dr. Sophia Yen, Founder and Chief Medical Officer of Pandia Health, has been at the forefront of innovating in women’s health services since before tele-health and menopause became part of common parlance. She represents a new level of hope, relief, and especially frankness for half the population (and half the workforce). She talks birth control, hormones, asynchronous tele-health, and blew my mind completely with at least one of her pieces of advice!!
Did you learn something from listening to Dr. Yen?
