What Every Executive Woman Should Know About Perimenopause with Dr. Jessica Kassis

OB-GYN Dr. Jessica Kassis missed her own perimenopause for a year - until her primary care doctor caught it. She joins Meg and Amy to explain why high-performing women miss the signs at work, how to talk to your doctor, and what actually helps with brain fog, rage, sleep, and burnout.

We cover #perimenopauseatwork , #brainfogperimenopause , hormone stabilization vs replacement, birth control in early perimenopause, advocating for care, leaving a hospital system to build Radiant Women's Health at 46, plus Leadership Corner on leading with candor when a strong performer slips.

Featuring Dr. Jessica Kassis, OB-GYN and co-founder of Radiant Women's Health, with hosts Meg Bear and Amy Wilson.
