What if better performance started with more humanity—and a calendar block with your own name on it? In this episode, I’m joined by Kacy Fleming, CEO & Founder of The Fuchsia Tent and Kacy Fleming Consulting, TEDx speaker, and organizational psychologist. After two decades in biopharma, Kacy is helping companies get smarter about menopause at work—reducing burnout, increasing retention, and making support simple instead of awkward.

We unpack her practical 3-H Framework (Healthcare, Help, HRT/non-hormonal access), the manager micro-script that keeps conversations safe and useful, and a five-minute “life audit” that puts you back on your own calendar. Whether you lead a team or you’re rebuilding your energy, this is a compassionate, doable reset you can start today.

✨ What You’ll Learn

• The 3-H Playbook for menopause-smart workplaces: Healthcare, Help (compassionate leadership), and HRT + non-hormonal therapy access
• Why awareness beats expertise—and what to say instead of guessing or diagnosing
• A manager micro-script you can steal: “How are you really doing?” → “Tell me more.” → “What support from me would help?” → “Here’s the action I’ll take.”
• How menopause symptoms affect engagement, productivity, and long-term health—and what “good support” actually looks like
• Autonomy in when/where/how we work as a powerful burnout-prevention lever
• The Life Audit: name your 3–5 personal non-negotiables and put yourself on the calendar
• A daily mindset practice: Deepak Chopra’s 21-Day Abundance challenge to shift scarcity into possibility
