280,000 Voices: Grace Molloy on Making Menopause Normal
Grace Molloy is the founder of Menopause Friendly Australia, now supporting over 280,000 employees nationwide. In this episode, she sits down with Dr Ariella to share how a personal, confusing experience with perimenopause led her to build a movement around a topic that workplaces had been too uncomfortable to name. Grace opens up about leaving a career in clinical research and finance to pursue something she felt genuinely passionate about, travelling to the UK to learn from the people leading menopause education there, and adapting that approach for Australian workplaces. She unpacks why menopause is still treated as a taboo rather than a normal transition that the majority of women will move through while working, and what practical changes are actually shifting that culture, from workplace policy to the language leaders use out loud. Together, Grace and Dr Ariella explore the gender health gap, the stereotypes still attached to what a "menopausal woman" looks like, and why trusting your own body and instincts is often the first step toward getting the right support. A conversation about advocacy, culture change, and building a workplace that finally catches up. Trial Ovum for free: Download Ovum now and click this link for a 7 day free trial. Be heard.
