Description

Can you be a boss AND handle menopause?


What’s the secret to balancing a busy worklife, family life AND menopause?


This week on Is It Hot In Here? Dr. Naomi Potter is joined by Executive Director of The National Theatre, Kate Varah.


This woman is no stranger to managing intense workloads, parenting teens, spending evenings at countless lobbying events and networking exercises, navigating marriage life… all while trying to find your feet in menopause.


Kate’s story is a refreshing look at how any of us can thrive when our calendars are full and our hormones are in flux. Naomi even jokes that Kate might be part robot – but as the layers peel back, we get a deeply honest insight into how she really does it.


Together, they explore how workplaces are beginning to talk more about menopause, the reality of being a high-achieving woman in a C-Suite role, and how to manage symptoms while still showing up in high-pressure environments.
