IN THE PRESS: Fiona McKay and her surgical menopause is featured in the big health story

Fiona McKay’s surgical menopause featured in The Big Health Story in Pick Me Up Magazine

In this article I write just what it was like to deal with the reality of a total abdominal hysterectomy and how I wasn’t anywhere near like prepared for the tsunami of symptoms that surgical menopause brought with it. Yes, I was a ‘Hot Mess’ but that was only the start of it.

This is by far the most I have shared about surgical menopause, what happened and how ill prepared I was to deal with it. Plus, I was only 42 years of age at the time, and my peer group were not experiencing menopause, and in addition, I am the Managing Director of two very successful businesses and most of my clients were global male CEO’s, so sharing my symptoms just wasn’t an option.

I urge every women and man to read this article - its the reality of what happens when women go through early and surgically induced menopause. and its much more severe than the natural menopause.

You can read the article in full online on page 17 in print in the 9 June 2022 edition or via your magazine subscription services.

The Menopause Maze™️ online community and NOPAUSE™️ career coaching programme

I undertook significant research on the gender biases affecting working women in menopause and the results were staggering. But the key messages that came out from high performing women and female founders of businesses that I spoke to was that they wanted two things:

  1. An exclusive community of other high performing women to learn and network

  2. Development tools, resources and expert advice on how to plan, how to transition and transform their careers through menopause and maintain their business goals.

And that’s why I created The Menopause Maze™️ online community. Packed full of tools, resources, expert advice from other leading professional women, live Q&A’s and access to our NOPAUSE™️ development programmes, we show you how to improve your career health and ensure that there is no pause to your career as you move through menopause.

Bespoke career and business coaching through menopause

For many women, menopause is one of the biggest career and business changes they face, especially if you are a high profile female business leader or a prominent female founder in the public eye.

Many high performing professional women find they want to work with their own personal menopause coach. I have had over 25 years experience as a business leadership and exec career transition coach and I’ve worked with some of the best female leaders in the world to help them deal with the challenges of change. I’ve won multiple awards for it, plus, I know what it’s like to go through menopause, and my proven evidence based formula I tried on myself first, and it works.
