How Workplaces Are Failing Peri and Menopausal Women with Karen Schulman Dupuis

Midlife Women: Invisability, Ageism, Menopause, and Corporate Gaslighting What happens when corporate spaces look at 30+ years of unmatched wisdom, killer instincts, and unshakeable experience and say, “Yikes, that looks expensive... can we trade it in for an entry-level budget?” In this episode, we are diving deep into the bizarre corporate paradox that expects women of a certain age to just... evaporate. Joining the conversation is Karen Schulman Dupuis, an unstoppable business designer, technologist, and researcher whose recent master’s research, Women Disrupted, delivers the hard, undeniable data on what actually happens to women’s careers after 40. Damn - and we’re the FxCK you 50s - we need to power up our sisters 10 years our junior!! Karen’s qualitative study on women aged 40–64 blows the lid off the conventional corporate and support ecosystems. Her findings are crystal clear and entirely unfiltered: not a single woman in the study was better off financially after a career disruption, and 100% of those who turned to self-employment refused to call themselves "entrepreneurs." We are stripping away the fluffy "awareness" campaigns and exposing how systemic barriers like ageism and gender bias derail women's financial security, housing stability, and mental health—all hitting at the exact same moment as perimenopause and menopause. But we aren't just acknowledging the problem. We explore how to use the adaptive cycle as a model to recognize disruption as a repeatable pattern, allowing us to build resilience, navigate the chaos, and prepare for what's next. * The "Invisible" Shift: Channeling icons like Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Amy Poehler, and Tina Fey to call out the exact moment society and the 9-to-5 grind try to ghost us. * The 1% Absurdity: Why Don in accounting gets an ergonomic standing desk because his back hurts from golf, while less than 1% of organizations actually accommodate menopause. * The Entrepreneurship Myth: Why forcing disrupted women into self-employment isn't an "empowering lifestyle choice" but an act of survival—and why standard "entrepreneurship programs" are failing by not being short, focused, and designed to validate immediate needs. * The Power of Systemic Change: How building fierce community support can help women actively challenge the workplace systems that are gaslighting them. The bottom line? We aren't going anywhere, and we sure as hell aren't turning down the volume. It’s time for workplaces to start paying attention to the women who actually keep the wheels turning.

That. Shit. [https://www.teepublic.com/user/theksd] WomenDisrupted official website [http://www.womendisrupted.com/] Karen Schulman Dupuis (MA in Leadership, Royal Roads University) is a Hamilton-based business designer, technologist, and researcher. With over two decades of experience navigating the public sector, regulated industries, and innovation ecosystems, she is the force behind Women Disrupted, bringing original qualitative data to the forefront of the fight for midlife economic equity. Learn more at WomenDisrupted.ca. 1. Disruption is a Pattern: Career disruption is a repeatable cycle. Once women over 40 recognize the pattern, they can actively prepare for and navigate the recovery. 2. Accidental Entrepreneurs: Most midlife women turn to self-employment out of sheer necessity, not desire, completely redefining what it means to "start a business." 3. The System is the Problem: Ageism and gender bias are not individual performance issues; they are systemic barriers directly targeting women's economic equity. 4. Community is the Weapon: Navigating and breaking down these systemic barriers requires shifting away from solo isolation and moving toward collective community power.
