Hot flashes. Brain fog. Low libido. We’re saying it all.
What We Talk About
Real conversations. Long overdue. Always unapologetic.
At Midlife Rising, we bring the conversations women have been having in whispers into the light — on stages, in workplaces, and in rooms ready for change. These aren’t fringe topics — they’re fundamental. From menopause to identity to sex and leadership, we speak truth to the realities midlife women are living every day — with clarity, candor, and no performative fluff.
Whether you're gathering your team, leading a health-focused event, or hosting a community workshop, our sessions are built to spark awareness, action, and a shift in how we talk about this powerful season of life.
Hormonal changes don’t just affect bodies — they affect productivity, confidence, and retention. From sleep disruption to anxiety and cognitive shifts, midlife women are navigating symptoms that impact how they show up at work. But most companies aren’t talking about it — and it’s costing them. This session breaks the silence and offers real solutions for building support systems that keep midlife talent engaged, respected, and thriving.
Perimenopause is the most underdiagnosed and misunderstood phase in a woman’s life — and it can last up to a decade. Brain fog, rage, weight gain, irregular cycles, and crushing fatigue are just a few of the symptoms most women aren’t warned about. This session demystifies what perimenopause actually is, how to recognize it, and how to manage it with clarity and confidence.
Let’s cut through the noise. This session offers a science-backed overview of hormones in midlife — including HRT, bioidentical options, and non-hormonal support. Miranda breaks down what’s safe, what’s fear-based, and what actually works, giving women (and the providers or leaders supporting them) a clear, no-fluff understanding of their options.
Sexual health is health. This conversation addresses the emotional, hormonal, and relational layers of low libido in midlife — without shame, stigma, or awkwardness. Miranda helps women understand what's happening to their bodies, what’s normal vs. treatable, and how to reconnect with desire in a way that feels safe, empowering, and possible.
Too many women leave medical appointments feeling dismissed, misunderstood, or worse — ignored. This session teaches women how to advocate for themselves in clinical spaces, what questions to ask, and what red flags to watch for. It’s also a powerful resource for providers and leaders who want to do better. Because better care starts with better conversations.
Midlife women aren’t slowing down — they’re ready to rise. This session explores the unique strengths and challenges of leading in midlife, and why organizations should be investing in — not overlooking — their most experienced talent. From visibility and confidence to burnout and boundaries, Miranda brings tools that help women step into leadership with clarity and purpose.
This goes beyond awareness posters. In this session, Miranda outlines how organizations can create true menopause inclusion through education, flexible policy, culture shifts, and open conversation. It’s for HR leaders, DEI teams, and executive leadership who are ready to retain and empower their midlife workforce.
Midlife women are carrying everything — parenting, aging parents, demanding careers, and the invisible mental load. Add hormone changes to the mix, and burnout is inevitable. This session explores the intersection of physical, emotional, and cultural exhaustion, and gives women (and the systems that support them) a path toward recovery, reinvention, and agency.
Miranda regularly tailors her talks to meet the needs of specific industries, teams, and audiences. Whether you're addressing healthcare providers, educators, corporate leadership, or nonprofit professionals — she brings evidence-based insight, lived experience, and powerful messaging to every room she walks into.
Let’s stop whispering and start leading
THE REALITY MIDLIFE WOMEN ARE FACING
The system isn’t broken — it was never built for us
Most workplace wellness programs weren’t designed with midlife women in mind. Menopause is still whispered about. Burnout is treated like a personal flaw. And sexual wellness? It’s rarely mentioned at all.
Midlife Rising steps in where traditional models fall short — offering evidence-based, shame-free education that centers the needs of women navigating hormonal shifts, identity changes, and invisible loads.
We partner with organizations ready to lead with empathy, equity, and real impact — because retaining and empowering midlife women isn’t just the right thing to do. It’s smart leadership.
No more silence. No more shame. No more waiting.
