Claims this source supports

• The stealth financial decline of menopause: women say no to higher-paying roles because energy is tanked and confidence has disappeared - 'not because you can't do them, but because you're too exhausted to fight for your seat at the table.'
• Quick-fix spending leak: women spend more on vitamins, supplements, and gym memberships in the hope of feeling better fast.
• Deferred financial planning: women ignore their financial situation, telling themselves 'things will pick up again when I get through this phase.'
• Brain fog, memory lapses, lack of confidence, and low self-esteem during the transition can affect earning potential: women step back, scale down, and decline opportunities they'd once have jumped at.
