✨ Panelist Introduction: Meet Claire ✨

I am so proud to introduce , one of the inspiring women joining our panel for Balance the Scales: Menopause – Imbalance Hiding in Plain Sight this International Women’s Day.

Claire is the Founder and CEO of , and brings with her nearly three decades of experience as a Physiotherapist working deeply in women’s health.

After 27 years in physiotherapy, including 14 years owning and running Adelaide Physiotherapy & Pilates Studio, Claire saw a gap that too many women were quietly navigating. Discomfort, dryness, pain, and changes to intimate health that were often minimised, dismissed, or simply not talked about.

That insight became the catalyst for Olive & Bee Intimate Cream, an all-natural intimate moisturiser and lubricant created by women, for women.

Claire went on to establish a manufacturing facility in Mount Barker, which she now runs alongside four other women. Today, Olive & Bee is stocked in over 700 stores across Australia, with global sales into the US, UK, EU, Singapore, and Canada. A powerful example of what happens when women identify a need and build a solution with care and purpose.

In 2024, Claire’s impact was recognised with the Award, celebrating her leadership, innovation, and contribution to women’s health.

Claire brings lived experience, clinical expertise, and entrepreneurial courage to our panel. Her story is one of listening to women, believing them, and creating change where it matters most.

I cannot wait for you to hear from her.

❤️ REDFEB is Heart Research Month

And in menopause this matters more than ever

Stress is quietly breaking women’s hearts.

As estrogen declines during menopause, the heart loses protection. Cholesterol balance shifts. Blood vessels stiffen. Inflammation rises.

Add chronic stress and elevated cortisol, and the risk accelerates.

Did you know that in Australia almost every hour, one woman dies from heart disease.

Heart attack symptoms in women can look different. Fatigue, nausea, jaw or back pain, breathlessness or simply feeling off.

This REDFEB, think prevention not perfection.

Remember stress is not just mental. It is physical.

Make sure you bring yourself back to present and reset your stress
Connect to yourself
Connect to others
Connect to nature

Menopause is a heart health transition and stress management is essential care.

💗 Movement. Mindset. Modify.

This week was Physical Disability Awareness Day, and I want to bring visibility to a question that is close to my heart.

What happens when a disability or diagnosis defines the care a woman receives, and menopause becomes invisible?

People living with physical disabilities often face barriers that limit access and opportunity. True accessibility is about inclusive systems, informed attitudes, and health care that sees the whole person.

When this does not happen, women navigating menopause are at risk of being overlooked, misunderstood, or dismissed during a critical stage of life.

This matters, because when women cannot easily advocate for themselves, health systems often default to assumptions.

When menopause shows up as disrupted sleep, anxiety, low mood, hot flushes, pain, brain fog, or changes in behaviour, it can be misread, minimised, or missed entirely, particularly when there are pre-existing conditions.

As I have been researching this space, the same themes continue to emerge. Women describing menopause as a “minority within a minority”. The need for condition-aware, whole-person care. Mood and behaviour changes being incorrectly attributed solely to disability. And clear gaps in research and support, with women’s voices underrepresented.

And how often do clinicians pause to ask:
Could this be menopause interacting with existing conditions and medications?

There are early conversations underway with a university research team to help build the evidence base and amplify lived experience, so we can improve access to diagnosis, treatment, and workplace support for women living with disability through perimenopause and menopause.

If this is you, or someone you care about, I would love to connect.

Let’s make sure women are not pushed out of wellbeing or work because the system only sees disability, rather than hormones, health, and humanity.

Why Menopause Belongs on the International Women’s Day 2026 Stage

International Women’s Day 2026 asks us to Balance the Scales.
That means confronting the systems that still disadvantage women, even in plain sight.

Menopause is one of them.

Every day, highly skilled, experienced women are navigating profound hormonal and neurological change while leading teams, shaping policy, and driving economic outcomes. Yet menopause remains under-recognised, under-supported, and misunderstood in healthcare, workplaces, and leadership structures.

That is not equality.
That is imbalance.

I’m Megan Hayward, licensed Menopause Expert Pro, published author, and the world’s first Menopause Concierge®. I bring lived experience and evidence-based education together to create conversations that shift mindsets and drive real action.

Through my framework, Movement. Mindset. Modify.®, I deliver conference sessions that make menopause visible, credible, and impossible to ignore. My work connects menopause directly to gender equity, workplace justice, psychological safety, and economic participation, because women cannot be truly supported if their health is sidelined at the peak of their contribution.

I have spoken at the Australian Senate Inquiry into Menopause, partnered with industries from healthcare to aerospace, and been featured across national and international media. Audiences consistently describe my sessions as confident, compassionate, and transformative.

Booking The Menopause Concierge® for International Women’s Day 2026 sends a clear signal.
Your organisation understands that balancing the scales means supporting women across their entire working lives.

Menopause belongs on the IWD stage.
Not as a side conversation, but as a critical pillar of equality, inclusion, and sustainable leadership.

Let’s talk about what real balance looks like.

✨ Tickets are officially on sale ✨

This International Women’s Day, we are bringing menopause out of the shadows and into the conversation where it belongs.

Balance the Scales: Menopause – Imbalance Hiding in Plain Sight is an afternoon for women, men, and families who want to understand this transition in all its variations.

We will start with the screening of The (M) Factor 2: Before the Pause (Perimenopause), a powerful international film that gives voice to women whose symptoms have been dismissed, minimised, or misunderstood.

Then we gather for wine, grazing, and an honest panel conversation. When I curated this panel, I reached out to women who inspire me. Women living and breathing their way through the and rollercoaster while holding up the sky, running businesses, leading communities, raising families, and doing amazing things. Wonder women. Knickers on the outside and all.

You will hear from Claire of , Alexia of , Gemma of , Amelia of , and Leanne of ; and we will be capturing the whole event with Gianna of

Together, we will explore the imbalance hiding in plain sight across women’s health, work, and financial security, while sharing stories that remind us this transition is human, survivable, and far less lonely when we understand what is happening.

This is about connection, courage, education, and hope.
Because talking about the bleeding obvious changes everything.

Time for some full moon power goddesses!

Monday 2 February 2026 | Snow Moon | Leo

Snow Moon in Leo says: stop shrinking.

Menopause can strip away the urge to perform and replace it with presence, which is a win.

At work, lead with outcomes, not apologies.

In life, do one thing that makes you feel like yourself again, and let that be enough.

: Gold (confidence, vitality).

: Citrine (optimism, self-worth).

: Do what warms you.

: Take up space.

: Speak without apology.

🐺🌕Owooooo! 🐺🌕Owooooo! 🐺🌕Owooooo!

It is not every day you receive an introduction like this from a global CEO....

Thank you and and the , I am incredibly grateful for this unexpected and deeply meaningful invitation as we closed out 2025.

To be recognised for the work being done in Australia and invited to sit on the international Menopause Pro Round Table is both humbling and energising.

I am currently the only licensed Menopause Expert Pro in Australia, and from 24th January I will be contributing to education, advocacy and collaboration on a global scale.

The greatest privilege for me is being able to bring the latest expert insights, research and policy developments back to Australia in real time, to better support women to remain well, valued and employed through their menopause transition.

With the UK now positioning menopause support as standard workplace infrastructure rather than a personal issue, this is a pivotal moment for Australian businesses to step forward.

I am excited for the conversations ahead.

“What is actually going on with her?”

You may be surprised how often I am asked this question in a work environment.

What most workplaces do not realise is that around 70% of women arrive at perimenopause with little to no education about menopause, no understanding of what is happening in their bodies, and no language to explain it.

They are also navigating workplaces that often lack:
• Psychological safety to speak up
• Time off to attend multiple medical appointments
• Flexibility to manage symptoms or trial treatments
• Leaders who understand the difference between behaviour and biology

This is why, how women are supported, believed, and given time matters, because preparation changes outcomes.

Globally, the tide is turning…..
The UK has confirmed Menopause Action Plans for employers from April 2026, becoming mandatory for large organisations in 2027. Menopause is now framed as workforce retention infrastructure, not a personal issue.

Australia will feel this shift fast…………Multinationals won’t run two standards.

For individuals, it looks like:
• Tracking symptoms so patterns are visible
• Booking adequate medical time
• Going in informed and supported

For workplaces, it looks like:
• Menopause education for leaders
• Flexible, stigma-free adjustments
• Time and permission for medical care
• Looking beyond behaviour to physiology

Menopause training helps workplaces understand what’s really happening, and how to support women to stay, not step out.

: Shift the culture and break the silence
: Challenge stigmas and stereotypes
: Create systems of support

If menopause symptoms are impacting performance, confidence, or safety in your workplace, support is available.

Visit mimimoonmeno.com.au to book a Menopause Concierge session or enquire about workplace training.

At work, this is not a performance issue, it is a health and leadership issue.

I wish I knew I could say something when this photo was taken.

It was 2018, taken for our company annual report.
I had just delivered $5M in planned maintenance, had development projects underway in the hundreds of millions, and had completed a 20-year forecast across both portfolios.

On paper, I was thriving.
In reality, brain fog and a growing list of symptoms made me feel like I was losing my edge.

What I didn’t know then was this:
Shifting hormones can affect how efficiently the brain uses energy, particularly when layered with broken sleep.

The danger is what so many high-performing women do next.
We overcompensate. Longer hours. More caffeine. More pressure.
And instead of improving, we unravel.

Support at work can be simple and powerful.
But I didn’t have it.

Not long after this photo was taken, here is what followed:

I was made redundant twice and labelled “difficult”.

I left another role within six months, not because of the work, but because I could no longer manage the symptoms.

I withdrew from my family and social life.

I stopped exercising due to severe body pain and fear of unpredictable bleeding.

I questioned my marriage. We chose counselling.

I came dangerously close to being sectioned.

And here is the truth.
My story is not rare. It is repeated quietly in workplaces, homes, and relationships every day.

If you are silently struggling with brain fog, here is what matters:

: Break the silence. Speak up. Name what is happening.
: You are still capable. This is not failure. Help exists for this symptom.
: Reduce overload. Ask for support. Plan instead of pushing.

This is exactly why I do this work.

If brain fog, exhaustion, or menopause symptoms are affecting your confidence, career, or life, support is available.

You will be surprised how often I am asked this question!

I had never even heard the word menopause, let alone perimenopause.

From around 35, my body began to quietly unravel. Symptoms appeared one by one, then compounded. I experienced more than 30 different symptoms, without knowing they were connected.

Some of them looked like this.

A nonstop period for six months.
Chronic joint and muscle pain.
Heart palpitations.
Depression, anxiety and rage, alongside suicidal thoughts.
Brain fog so severe I forgot my own sister’s name.
Zero libido, frequent UTIs and pelvic pain.
Years of insomnia and night sweats, leading to crushing fatigue and difficulty at work.

I stopped drinking. I tried to manage stress. I kept going.

I saw more than 15 specialists and lost count of the invasive tests.

I was told it was stress, burnout and depression.
I was told we needed to rule out bowel cancer.
I was told I was too young.

Eventually, someone named it. Perimenopause.

Even then, it took almost another year to access Menopause Hormone Therapy. My bloods were “normal”. I did not tick all the boxes.

This is why how you speak to your doctor matters.

Menopause symptoms are wide ranging, fluctuating and often misunderstood. Without preparation, they can be dismissed or mislabeled.

Preparation changes the conversation.

Tracking your symptoms, booking enough time (MBS item 695 for GPs), and going in informed helps your doctor see the whole picture, not just one complaint.

This is why I created my menopause symptom tracker.

Track your symptoms so patterns are visible.
You are not imagining this.
Prepare, advocate and ask for options.

If you would like support preparing for a GP or specialist appointment, book a session via my website.

If you would like a copy of my menopause symptom tracker, send me a DM.

You are not too young.
You are not failing.
You are not alone.

This is one of the most common menopause & work-related searches in January.

And it’s not burnout. It’s biology colliding with pressure.

Up to 80% of women experience menopause symptoms that affect work, and 27% retire before 55 when unsupported. That’s peak earning years lost.

You don’t need to leave your job.
You need the right support at work.
You deserve support, not resignation letters.

Globally, the tide is turning…..

That bone-deep fatigue is a strong message, not laziness.

Hormone fluctuation can disrupt sleep quality and recovery, so you wake tired even after what you think are “enough” hours.

If you are up at 3am andin a hot mess and then try to face the day, weather that involves, work, family raising, or elderly parent commitments, you’re on edge.

Your mood and reactions become the focus of attention, rather than the symptom of fatigue and lack of sleep.

Pushing through keeps stress hormones elevated, which can worsen anxiety, cravings, rage, and brain fog and often results in unintentional conflict in your life.

Your body is asking for support, not toughness.

: Even though every cell is saying no, easy regular movement in morning light will help get your circadian rhythm back.

: Exhaustion is a signal. You MUST listen to your body. Prolonged stress responses can be deadly.

: Review your agreements to reduce overload. Book the conversation/ medical appointment and check yourself, before you wreck yourself.

If any of this sounds familiar, and you feel lost at sea, please visit mimimoonmeno.com.au to book a session with me, the world’s first Menopause Concierge ®

When you lose your way, just take my hand, there is a way forward.
