I love you MenoBarbie ! I also had a urine leak at the elevator while running to my apartment!! All you speak is so true. I am a teacher myself and have to keep my mouth “menoshut”in the presence of staff gossipers. Every morning I have to change my bra, singlet, and pantie because they are soaking wet /after a hot menoflash after opening my mouth for two lessons. Keep those videos coming. You are my menomom forever! I am still watching the entire playlist. A from Japan
This was me. I almost quit my Executive job because of brain fog and anxiety. I felt like I just could not perform at the level I was use to achieving. Thank goodness I found your channel and with the help BRT, I am getting back to my quick on my feet critical thinking skills and I can sleep. Thank you!
It's so unfortunate. You have the most expertise of all. And you'll always be the most gorgeous of all. We're going to change the stigma of menopause in the workplace with this menopause movement.
You are spot on. I have been stressed over not being able to perform as well at work. It's nice to be able to laugh about it. On the one hand, I want everyone to cut me some slack while I work this through. OTOH, I don't want everyone treating me like I'm feeble just because I'm menopausal.
She is the very best: older mature than most, professional and strategic, better judgement, reliable, not engaged in office politics gossiping no pms no need childcare not creating drama polite no offputting clothes I won’t be checking on Facebook You are so smart Dr Taylor!!! Thank you :)
Wow Dr. Taylor! It really felt like you were speaking directly to me! I am a 50 year old teacher who cannot get hired. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom!
I'm so sorry. But at least you know it's not about you. It's wrong and prejudicial. And I think we can change this if we all band together and revolutionize the way people think about menopause.
I plan to share this video with all my juniors, and, maybe sometime, with my bosses as well. All of them are men and maybe it will help them understand my part. I guess educating them is better than suffering in silence. I know it is uphill task but I plan not to give up. I have always stood by them in their difficult times, and now I deserve to 'make' them more 'understanding' towards not just me, but also towards their mothers, wives and sisters.
Exactly! And if you want to give them all a gift, give them my "Menopause 101 for Men" DVD or webinar. It's short, and geared just for them. It will make your life a whole lot better.
Gorgeous outfit! In NYC it is almost impossible for men or women to get a job after 35. They tend to lay everyone off at 50 across the board in any career in NYC. My poor friend I mentioned earlier we worked together at a ladies gym. She is a former neighbor of mine and was such a great trainer all the women loved her! The boss and her best friend said she was mentally ill and her husband was going to institutionalize her. Then she got HRT and she was fine! Nobody apologized to her and I was personally offended at how they treated her! You described Stacy in your description of a menopausal woman. I have actually had many ask me if I am in menopause when they hear my age. They usually say I am too "cute" and look too young and I am too nice to be menopausal. Honestly. I was bewildered by those statements. Some were women asking me that! Women sometimes are so mean to other women! Yes I already know I am special and I don't need constant affirmation! But I am on Facebook ,Twitter and Instagram. I am following you on Twitter. I don't go on Twitter much I just signed up to stay in touch with a friend. Thanks for your hard work in helping us!
Wow!! This is soooo funny and so true!! (I laughed and laughed🤗) I went for a job interview 4 days ago. (Wish I had seen this first😂).. We menopausal women have so many attributes in the workplace we should acknowledge them!! (A sense of humour is vital and precious❤️) Thanks Barbie❤️🌺
I thank you for his video. This is where I'm at right now. I'm 47 y/o had a HX 2 yrs ago. I'm eager to go back to work after being a housewife for 17 yrs. nobody will hire me because I have not been a working Nurse for this long! It's horrible because I have so much to give but nobody to give me a chance so far.
Elisa, Have you considered being a school nurse? Or what about an office nurse? Sometimes, we envision ourselves in the same environment as we had earlier in life. And sometimes your prospects are better in a different setting. It just depends on what kind of nursing you want to do. The most important thing is this: Don't give up! Go back to school if you have to. Be what you want to be. Maybe you can go into nursing for menopausal women.
We need to get the word out to the world....all men and women should know how menopause affects our lives. It’s like having MS...because I would bang into walls or lose my ability to talk, people assumed I was drunk! We need to come together to make people aware of ALL symptoms of Menopause.
Now that you've seen it, you'll start noticing all sorts of inequities in the workplace when it comes to menopausal women. Hopefully, women will start speaking up about it.
I work in a warehouse that gets up to 90+ in the summer. Previous HR allowed me to have my uniform untucked because i get overheated easily but when the new HR took over she reversed this and forced me to tuck in my shirt. She said everyone gets hot. She said for safety reason. Im the only female on the manufacturing floor😕It sucks.
Just tell them menopause is puberty in reverse. And then ask how wonderful their own puberty was. Male or female, they'll probably cringe a bit. Did they experience any symptoms during puberty? (Watch video 67 on how to tell your kids about menopause. It will give you all sorts of ideas.)
My employer didn't want us to have electric devices (like fans) on our desks. I was like F**k it, I can't work like that and i still had my fan with me.
😂 I think you just made fun of millennials and Gen Z 😂😂 let’s face it , in the workplace there is no such thing as motherhood, FMLA is a joke (and Gen X now needs medical leave for sick parents) , age discrimination for women starts as early as 40 these days .... and of course if your female and a minority - well, it’s all stacked against you - and then you have menopause 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️.... and of course corporations don’t want to pay for your experience.... but bottom line - don’t give up... know your worth, then add tax (always!) and it’s always good to know the difference between to, too, and two... 😂😂😂 thanks for the honesty and the laugh !
You made some excellent points in this video about the workplace. Menopausal Women just struggle wherever they turn in this world. Nobody knows much about it and when you say the word "Menopause" the men disappear. Lol. 😂🤣 Notice the word has the word Men-opause. I like to tease my husband and tell him he has menopause. Lol. 😂🤣 I do not think men would do well if they were the ones that axtuallyhad the menopause instead of having to deal with the wife with menopause. Oh my goodness this was funny.
Are you kidding me? If men lost all their testosterone, there would be an ATM (Automatic Testosterone Machine) on every street corner, in very building, and in every home.
Almost 51 and in menopause thanks to surgery. It will be used as a medical excuse and to go ask Uncle Google about it! Better yet, have a woman boss a few years older who KNOWS it's real and the road blocks faced

Well, just know that I'll be giving you management options for absolutely everything. It will take a while to get to every topic, but I'll get there.

Spot on Barbie! As a woman in the workforce, I can appreciate this..
It's so unfortunate. You have the most expertise of all. And you'll always be the most gorgeous of all. We're going to change the stigma of menopause in the workplace with this menopause movement.

Exactly. What you want is understanding and support. And that's what you deserve.
You are the voice for all women :-). You’re my mentor!
I hope to speak loudly enough for everyone to hear.
She is the very best: older mature than most, professional and strategic, better judgement, reliable, not engaged in office politics gossiping no pms no need childcare not creating drama polite no offputting clothes I won’t be checking on Facebook
You are so smart Dr Taylor!!! Thank you :)
I'm here for you , my dear.
You are such a good actress!😊😊😊
Actress? So many of my friends tell me that I'm an actress. I don't see it. I'm just being my animated self.
Wow Dr. Taylor! It really felt like you were speaking directly to me! I am a 50 year old teacher who cannot get hired. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom!
I'm so sorry. But at least you know it's not about you. It's wrong and prejudicial. And I think we can change this if we all band together and revolutionize the way people think about menopause.
I'm 53, in menopause, have two tattoos and my male bosses are afraid of me. Life is good!
I love it! You've got menopower!
Dr. Barbie..everyone I know are so excited to listen to the interview you and I had for your talk show! Monday can’t get here fast enough!
How fun! They'll all be so proud of you ... as am I!

I feel this. It’s comforting to know it’s not just me.
Exactly! I love it when this education relieves your worries.
Gorgeous outfit!

You are so welcome, my dear. And I always love knowing that you got a good, hearty laugh.

Elisa,
Have you considered being a school nurse? Or what about an office nurse? Sometimes, we envision ourselves in the same environment as we had earlier in life. And sometimes your prospects are better in a different setting. It just depends on what kind of nursing you want to do.
The most important thing is this: Don't give up! Go back to school if you have to. Be what you want to be. Maybe you can go into nursing for menopausal women.
" There is really nothing I can't do, as long as I know where the bathroom is..." that's me :) I just love you Dr. Barbie !
It's so true, isn't it! And I love you, too, my dear. I hope you can tell by how much I love giving you this education.
the menopausal clinic i went to fired a woman who was going through menopause.how strange is that!
Oh my goodness! That's terrible!
We need to get the word out to the world....all men and women should know how menopause affects our lives. It’s like having MS...because I would bang into walls or lose my ability to talk, people assumed I was drunk! We need to come together to make people aware of ALL symptoms of Menopause.
You are so right. Most people have no concept of what menopausal women endure. I love how vocal you are about this.
BOOM! You know me so well. This one made me cry and laugh at the same time. Thank you, Barbie!
Love the way you are Dr. Barbie
Thank you so much, my dear.
Awesome! I needed this video!!! 🤣
Now that you've seen it, you'll start noticing all sorts of inequities in the workplace when it comes to menopausal women. Hopefully, women will start speaking up about it.
This is exactly what I am afraid of!
Well, it's reality. Hopefully, by making society more aware of menopause, we'll benefit menopausal women in the workplace everywhere.
Gray is the new green!
Gray is the new blonde AND green!
High five!!
Absolutely marvelous 🤗🤗🤗 well spoken!
That you, Terri. I always know you're watching.
I work in a warehouse that gets up to 90+ in the summer. Previous HR allowed me to have my uniform untucked because i get overheated easily but when the new HR took over she reversed this and forced me to tuck in my shirt. She said everyone gets hot. She said for safety reason. Im the only female on the manufacturing floor😕It sucks.
This makes me so very sad. It's atrocious.
Well this was right on the money!!
I'm so glad you see the relevance of an education on menopause to all aspects of life.
Woman are experts at multi-tasking. Not bashing men at all but I’d like to see how they would react if THEY had to deal with menopause!
Bingo. Just reverse the genders and you can imagine what a big societal focus menopause would be if it were a male phenomenon.
Menopause Taylor absolutely!!!
Thank you!♡.. so true
Do you have a suggestion of a good response, without being defensive, to those that don't believe in menopause symptoms?
Just tell them menopause is puberty in reverse. And then ask how wonderful their own puberty was. Male or female, they'll probably cringe a bit. Did they experience any symptoms during puberty? (Watch video 67 on how to tell your kids about menopause. It will give you all sorts of ideas.)
My employer didn't want us to have electric devices (like fans) on our desks. I was like F**k it, I can't work like that and i still had my fan with me.
This is what I'm hoping to change. And I really don't want you to even have a hot flash.
Laughing out loud, you're a pistol, Doc.
I'm a bit of a goofball.
😂 I think you just made fun of millennials and Gen Z 😂😂 let’s face it , in the workplace there is no such thing as motherhood, FMLA is a joke (and Gen X now needs medical leave for sick parents) , age discrimination for women starts as early as 40 these days .... and of course if your female and a minority - well, it’s all stacked against you - and then you have menopause 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️.... and of course corporations don’t want to pay for your experience.... but bottom line - don’t give up... know your worth, then add tax (always!) and it’s always good to know the difference between to, too, and two... 😂😂😂 thanks for the honesty and the laugh !
I try to target absolutely everything that affects menopausal women. And this is a biggie.
You are hilarious!!!!
I kind of cracked myself up at the end. I laugh at myself a lot.
I would love to work for you lol x
Ha! That's funny. I always had very happy employees.
You made some excellent points in this video about the workplace.

@@MenopauseTaylor So funny! 😂

So true!
Not all menopausal woman are motherly or not interested in dating ...
Well, of course.I'm giving you broad generalizations. There are variations with everything.
You make me laugh so hard and pee on my pant !
Oh, no. I didn't mean to make you do that. But, as long as it was funny, I'll take responsibility.
I have to chuckle when I think about men when they reach that time in their lives when they need testosterone. That’s totally acceptable!
Exactly!
👏🏻
😀😀😀
It sounds like Menopause harassment!
True. So true!
👍👏😂😊👏💞
Thank you, Alex.
Hilarious
And true!
Are you in costume????
Nope. That's one of my regular outfits. (I'm not kidding.)
Love her unic styles.
