Menstrual health is a workplace conversation — and May 28th is the moment to have it. 🩸 World Menstrual Health Day 2026 theme is Self-Advocacy: equipping people with the knowledge and confidence to speak up about their health at work. Because when people feel supported to talk openly, they're more likely to access the help they need — and more likely to thrive. That means understanding your cycle and symptoms. Knowing your experience is valid. And working somewhere that creates space for those conversations. Is your workplace Menstruation Friendly? The Menstruation Friendly Accreditation helps organisations go beyond policy and create real, lasting change.

A reminder that our Lunch & Learn is next week! 🗓️ On 4th June (12:15–12:45pm), Sally Leech and Dr Clare Spencer will be exploring how to talk to your GP about menstrual health with confidence. https://lnkd.in/gJH3dcrY

Your hormones shift through four phases every month. Most of us were never taught what that means — or how to work with it. In our latest podcast, Deborah Garlick speaks with Emily Smith at Mooncup Ltd, about the menstrual cycle — the phases, what's happening in your body during each one, and the practical ways you can start working with your natural rhythms rather than against them. From energy and mood to nutrition, cycle tracking, and what's actually in your period products — it's the conversation most of us never had at school. Out 25 May, just ahead of Menstrual Hygiene Day on 28 May. Listen wherever you get your podcasts. 🎙

60% of divorces in the UK are initiated by women in their 40s, 50s and 60s. 👀 That stat stopped Rob Kemp's friends in their tracks — and it might just stop yours too. Joe and Rob joined us for our May Lunch & Learn and the full conversation is now on the Henpicked podcast. It is well worth your time — and your partner's. Burning Up, Frozen Out gives men the tools to actually show up. @joewarneruk @robkemp__author @burningupfrozenout Joe Warner Rob Kemp #MenAndMenopause #BurningUpFrozenOut #HenpickedPodcast #LunchAndLearn #MenopauseRelationships #Henpicked

This is what men get wrong about menopause — and it costs relationships more than anything else. It's not that men don't care. It's that they dismiss what they can't understand. Joe Warner, co-author of Burning Up, Frozen Out, joined us for our May Lunch & Learn alongside Rob Kemp — and this moment from their session says it all: you don't have to understand every single symptom. You just have to believe what you're being told. The full Lunch & Learn is now available as a podcast episode on the Henpicked podcast. One hour. Genuinely useful. Worth sharing with every man in your organisation. 🎧 Listen on the Henpicked podcast: https://lnkd.in/ge5XS6gt 📖 Burning Up, Frozen Out by Joe Warner & Rob Kemp: https://lnkd.in/gte8V3sd #MenopauseAtWork #BurningUpFrozenOut

“It took me 10 years to be diagnosed.” 10 years of pain. 10 years of being dismissed. 10 years of being told it was “just a bad period.” This is the reality for so many women living with endometriosis. In this clip, Dr Vickie Williams shares her story—and why it takes so long for women to be taken seriously. Because when pain is normalised, people stop asking questions. And women are left to suffer in silence. This week on the Henpicked Podcast, we go deeper into the realities of endometriosis and its impact on work and life. 🎧 Endometriosis in the Workplace: Symptoms, Support & What Employers Must Know | Ep 97 #endometriosis #womenshealth #henpicked #menstrualhealth #hormonehealth #womensupportingwomen #podcastlaunch #workplacewellbeing #healthawareness
