Coping with miscarriage and fertility challenges at work with Emma Menzies

11/03/21 • 27 min

Our focus for this Season is the 4 M’s which are Monthlies, Miscarriage, Maternity and Menopause, and how these can affect women at work. I’ll be talking to some incredible women and experts from around the world to share their real-life stories, advice and tips, to inspire you in your career.

It is a real pleasure to welcome Emma Menzies, a Fertility at Work Coach as my guest today. In recognition of Fertility Awareness Week, I’m delighted she is joining me to share her own personal story and her advice for women on ‘Coping with miscarriage and fertility challenges at work’.
The Confidence Conversation podcast with Joy Burnford explores the world of women, work and what it takes to feel more confident. A lack of confidence is not a crime. So, if you need some motivation, inspiration or a boost of confidence, grab a cuppa, go for a dog walk, or escape for a drive and join us for today’s conversation about confidence.
A big thank you to The Surrey Park Clinic for sponsoring this season. Many of us don't prioritise our health. Whether we are juggling work, home-life or family, we often put our health concerns to the bottom of the list. But going through periods, gynae concerns, fertility problems, pregnancy and menopause can be physically and emotionally draining and affect confidence. The Surrey Park Clinic can help and will put your health first. They are offering our listeners 10% off all initial consultations when you reference this podcast.
