Nobody talks enough about what happens when your “superpowers” suddenly disappear.
Sometimes the thing that looks like “success” from the outside is costing someone far more than anyone can see.
Ali Reed shares what happened when menopause collided with senior leadership, pressure, family life and the expectation to keep showing up like nothing had changed.
This is a part of working life we still do not talk about enough how often high-performing people are praised for coping, while quietly breaking underneath it all.
Ali thought stepping back meant failure. It saved her.
This is not just a conversation about menopause.
It is a conversation about identity, pressure, leadership, and the things people carry silently at work.
A genuinely important one.
