🔥 Menopause at work? It’s the last workplace taboo. Women over 50 are the fastest-growing workforce, yet many feel dismissed, overlooked, or managed out due to menopause symptoms. That ends today.

💡 Attorneys Catherine Krider & Jack Tuckner are fighting for workplace fairness. What are your rights? Can you ask for accommodations? Let’s break the silence.

Menopause at work—it’s the last workplace taboo. This is The Not Old Better Show on radio and podcast.

This is Not Old Better Show, Workplace Roundup Interview Series on radio and podcast. Today’s episode is brought to you by Acorns.

We talk about diversity, inclusion, equity… but when it comes to hot flashes in a board meeting, brain fog before a big presentation, or the exhaustion that hits like a freight train—suddenly, silence.

Women over 50 are the fastest-growing workforce demographic, bringing decades of experience, leadership, and skill. And yet, when menopause shows up, too many are treated like they’re slowing down, when really, they’re just heating up.

Dismissed. Overlooked. Managed out. Some even leave their careers behind—not because they want to, but because the workplace isn’t built to support them.

But today, we’re talking about it.

Because menopause isn’t a weakness. It’s not a reason to be sidelined. And it’s not a reason to lose the best, brightest, and most experienced people in the workforce.

Enter Catherine Krider and Jack Tuckner—two powerhouse attorneys who are fighting for workplace fairness for women at every stage of life. They’ve taken on pregnancy discrimination, equal pay, and now, they’re tackling menopause rights head-on.

What are your rights at work? Can you ask for accommodations? How do we shatter the stigma and get employers to step up?

This conversation is long overdue, and we’re bringing it front and center.

Because if men had menopause, we wouldn’t even be having this discussion.

This is The Not Old Better Show. I’m Paul Vogelzang—let’s get started.
