In this powerful episode of Find Your Spark: Real Life Menopause Moments, host Alison welcomes Lauren Chiren, CEO of Women of a Certain Stage. Lauren shares her raw and relatable journey from senior leadership in financial services to experiencing extreme anxiety, memory loss, and burnout, only to discover she had gone through early menopause.

What followed was a complete career pivot. Lauren opens up about the moment she realised she wasn’t alone and how that led to hosting the first menopause event in London’s financial district, founding her business, and eventually creating a Menopause Coaching Diploma that Alison herself has taken.

Together, they explore the lack of awareness and support around menopause in the workplace, the importance of visibility, and how coaching and community are changing lives. This is a must-listen for anyone navigating menopause or wanting to better understand and support others through it.
