The Leadership Challenge No One Talks About: Midlife & Menopause with Tanya Rutherford

Описание: No one tells you what happens when the demands of leadership collide with the realities of midlife. For many women, menopause, identity shifts, and the pressure to keep proving themselves can trigger a second voice of doubt, overwhelm, and burnout. Today, we’re pulling back the curtain on the leadership challenge no one talks about—and discovering how to reclaim power in the midst of change.

At The Second Voice, we explore the inner conversations leaders rarely say out loud.

If this episode resonated, it is likely because the second voice is active in your leadership too.

Hosted by Luisa Hogan, leadership resilience strategist and founder of Vermelho Consulting.

Luisa works with founders, executives, and senior leaders who carry real responsibility and want to lead with steadiness, clarity, and self-trust under pressure.

Her work focuses on nervous system regulation, leadership identity, and the inner dialogue that shapes how leaders show up when things are hard.
