What does menopause cost you at work — and what is it costing your employer? Stacy talks with Kacy Fleming, organizational psychologist and founder of The Fuchsia Tent, about the staggering data behind menopause and the workplace, and the practical framework that can actually fix it. They get into why menopause is invisible in corporate data, the 10% earnings penalty for symptomatic women, and why midlife women — not AI — are the real future of the workforce. Plus: Kacy's own perimenopause story, the confidence crisis so many of us recognize, and why she believes this doesn't have to be as hard or as expensive as everyone thinks.
