Briefs, Briefings & Brain Fog: Menopause in the Legal Lane

About this program
This engaging and empowering webinar is designed for legal professionals navigating midlife while juggling demanding careers. Dr. Arianna will unpack the science, stigma, and solutions around menopause—breaking down how hormonal shifts can impact focus, memory, mood, and productivity. Through a mix of storytelling, research, and real-world strategies, she’ll help attendees recognize the signs of perimenopause and menopause, advocate for themselves in high-pressure environments, and reclaim their confidence.
Key talking points:
What’s Really Happening: Understanding the hormonal changes of perimenopause and menopause—and why they often go undiagnosed in high-achieving women.
Menopause at Work: How symptoms like brain fog, fatigue, and mood swings show up in the legal profession—and what it costs us personally and professionally.
The Confidence Gap: Why even the most accomplished women can feel like they’re “losing their edge” and how to counteract that narrative.
Evidence-Based Solutions: Hormone therapy, lifestyle strategies, and tools to improve mental clarity, sleep, and emotional resilience.
Creating Culture Change: Why menopause belongs in workplace wellness conversations and how to support colleagues going through it.
Making Your Case: How to advocate for yourself (and others) in environments that may not yet be menopause-aware.
