Hi everyone! We're back for our second show and it's going to be a good one!

This week, our theme is 'The Working World Doesn't Work for Women' where we will discuss the biological timeline of navigating a career as a woman, while simultaneously existing in an ever-changing, time-bound body.

From showing up to the office with a monthly cycle that doesn’t align with relentless productivity expectations, to deciding if, when, or how to embark on motherhood, and all the joy and grief it can bring. After all that, then arriving at menopause only to feel like your brain has packed up and left the building. This timeline is all too familiar, and we want to talk about it alongside a soundtrack which will explain much more than we can alone.

We hope you enjoy it!
