Menopause – it affects every woman, yet many still suffer in silence.
In this episode of The Wolf in the Room, Nick sits down with the phenomenal Karen Stein – executive coach, author, keynote speaker, and ex-Deloitte partner – to explore how menopause impacts women’s mental health, work performance, and relationships.
Karen breaks down the stages (yep, menopause is actually one day), common but misunderstood symptoms like brain fog and fatigue, and the emotional toll many women face without proper support. They talk self-coaching, the power of group coaching, why it's everyone’s business, and how men and partners can better support the women in their lives.
It’s a funny, heartfelt, and deeply informative chat packed with tools, metaphors (hello, “virtual backpack”), and practical ways to create more empathy and action – whether in your workplace or your home.
Highlights:
What menopause actually is (and what it’s not)
Karen’s personal journey from tears in the car to national workplace change
Why empathy and education are the secret sauce for change
Tips for partners who want to do better
Her upcoming book for self-coaching through menopause
This isn’t just a women’s issue – it’s a human one.
And we’re diving into the conversation that’s long overdue.
