Menopause in the Workplace - 69 

This was me. I almost quit my Executive job because of brain fog and anxiety. I felt like I just could not perform at the level I was use to achieving. Thank goodness I found your channel and with the help BRT, I am getting back to my quick on my feet critical thinking skills and I can sleep. Thank you!

I love you MenoBarbie ! I also had a urine leak at the elevator while running to my apartment!! All you speak is so true. I am a teacher myself and have to keep my mouth “menoshut”in the presence of staff gossipers. Every morning I have to change my bra, singlet, and pantie because they are soaking wet /after a hot menoflash after opening my mouth for two lessons. Keep those videos coming. You are my menomom forever! I am still watching the entire playlist. A from Japan

Spot on Barbie! As a woman in the workforce, I can appreciate this..

You are the voice for all women :-). You’re my mentor!

You are spot on. I have been stressed over not being able to perform as well at work. It's nice to be able to laugh about it. On the one hand, I want everyone to cut me some slack while I work this through. OTOH, I don't want everyone treating me like I'm feeble just because I'm menopausal.

Wow Dr. Taylor! It really felt like you were speaking directly to me! I am a 50 year old teacher who cannot get hired. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom!

She is the very best: older mature than most, professional and strategic, better judgement, reliable, not engaged in office politics gossiping no pms no need childcare not creating drama polite no offputting clothes I won’t be checking on Facebook You are so smart Dr Taylor!!! Thank you :)

I'm 53, in menopause, have two tattoos and my male bosses are afraid of me. Life is good!

Awesome! I needed this video!!! 🤣

I feel this. It’s comforting to know it’s not just me.

I plan to share this video with all my juniors, and, maybe sometime, with my bosses as well. All of them are men and maybe it will help them understand my part. I guess educating them is better than suffering in silence. I know it is uphill task but I plan not to give up. I have always stood by them in their difficult times, and now I deserve to 'make' them more 'understanding' towards not just me, but also towards their mothers, wives and sisters.

Dr. Barbie..everyone I know are so excited to listen to the interview you and I had for your talk show! Monday can’t get here fast enough!

Wow!! This is soooo funny and so true!! (I laughed and laughed🤗) I went for a job interview 4 days ago. (Wish I had seen this first😂).. We menopausal women have so many attributes in the workplace we should acknowledge them!! (A sense of humour is vital and precious❤️) Thanks Barbie❤️🌺

I thank you for his video. This is where I'm at right now. I'm 47 y/o had a HX 2 yrs ago. I'm eager to go back to work after being a housewife for 17 yrs. nobody will hire me because I have not been a working Nurse for this long! It's horrible because I have so much to give but nobody to give me a chance so far.

" There is really nothing I can't do, as long as I know where the bathroom is..." that's me :) I just love you Dr. Barbie !

Gorgeous outfit! In NYC it is almost impossible for men or women to get a job after 35. They tend to lay everyone off at 50 across the board in any career in NYC. My poor friend I mentioned earlier we worked together at a ladies gym. She is a former neighbor of mine and was such a great trainer all the women loved her! The boss and her best friend said she was mentally ill and her husband was going to institutionalize her. Then she got HRT and she was fine! Nobody apologized to her and I was personally offended at how they treated her! You described Stacy in your description of a menopausal woman. I have actually had many ask me if I am in menopause when they hear my age. They usually say I am too "cute" and look too young and I am too nice to be menopausal. Honestly. I was bewildered by those statements. Some were women asking me that! Women sometimes are so mean to other women! Yes I already know I am special and I don't need constant affirmation! But I am on Facebook ,Twitter and Instagram. I am following you on Twitter. I don't go on Twitter much I just signed up to stay in touch with a friend. Thanks for your hard work in helping us!

BOOM! You know me so well. This one made me cry and laugh at the same time. Thank you, Barbie!

You are such a good actress!😊😊😊

We need to get the word out to the world....all men and women should know how menopause affects our lives. It’s like having MS...because I would bang into walls or lose my ability to talk, people assumed I was drunk! We need to come together to make people aware of ALL symptoms of Menopause.

Love the way you are Dr. Barbie

Gray is the new green!

the menopausal clinic i went to fired a woman who was going through menopause.how strange is that!

This is exactly what I am afraid of!

Absolutely marvelous 🤗🤗🤗 well spoken!

Well this was right on the money!!

Woman are experts at multi-tasking. Not bashing men at all but I’d like to see how they would react if THEY had to deal with menopause!

Thank you!♡.. so true Do you have a suggestion of a good response, without being defensive, to those that don't believe in menopause symptoms?

My employer didn't want us to have electric devices (like fans) on our desks. I was like F**k it, I can't work like that and i still had my fan with me.

I work in a warehouse that gets up to 90+ in the summer. Previous HR allowed me to have my uniform untucked because i get overheated easily but when the new HR took over she reversed this and forced me to tuck in my shirt. She said everyone gets hot. She said for safety reason. Im the only female on the manufacturing floor😕It sucks.

You are hilarious!!!!

😂 I think you just made fun of millennials and Gen Z 😂😂 let’s face it , in the workplace there is no such thing as motherhood, FMLA is a joke (and Gen X now needs medical leave for sick parents) , age discrimination for women starts as early as 40 these days .... and of course if your female and a minority - well, it’s all stacked against you - and then you have menopause 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️.... and of course corporations don’t want to pay for your experience.... but bottom line - don’t give up... know your worth, then add tax (always!) and it’s always good to know the difference between to, too, and two... 😂😂😂 thanks for the honesty and the laugh !

Laughing out loud, you're a pistol, Doc.

I would love to work for you lol x

Not all menopausal woman are motherly or not interested in dating ...

You made some excellent points in this video about the workplace. Menopausal Women just struggle wherever they turn in this world. Nobody knows much about it and when you say the word "Menopause" the men disappear. Lol. 😂🤣 Notice the word has the word Men-opause. I like to tease my husband and tell him he has menopause. Lol. 😂🤣 I do not think men would do well if they were the ones that axtuallyhad the menopause instead of having to deal with the wife with menopause. Oh my goodness this was funny.

😀😀😀

👏🏻

It sounds like Menopause harassment!

You make me laugh so hard and pee on my pant !

Almost 51 and in menopause thanks to surgery. It will be used as a medical excuse and to go ask Uncle Google about it! Better yet, have a woman boss a few years older who KNOWS it's real and the road blocks faced

I have to chuckle when I think about men when they reach that time in their lives when they need testosterone. That’s totally acceptable!

👍👏😂😊👏💞

Hilarious

Are you in costume????
