TEDx Speaker · Menopause Advocate · Jersey
Somebody had to be
the menopause
woman.
Turns out it's me. I speak, I train, and I say the thing your whole leadership team has been carefully talking around.
What Trudi does
Three ways in. One conversation.
Advocacy changes the public conversation. Training changes what happens inside organisations. Community changes what happens to the woman going through it. Trudi works across all three.
Advocacy and media
A TEDx talk, a regular column, and the No Time To Step Back campaign working to put menopause on the policy agenda in Jersey and beyond.
See the workVitality 40+ for organisations
Menopause training for leadership teams, line managers and staff. Built for employers who would rather keep their most experienced women than replace them.
Bring it in-houseEve Studios
The St Helier fitness studio and women's hub Trudi founded. A social enterprise, and the community where the advocacy started.

The hidden truth about menopause
Half the population goes through it. Most workplaces have no plan for it, and most of us were handed no language to describe it. Here is what that actually costs, and what to do instead.
I borrowed a red suit and said it out loud. No regrets, obviously.

Pick the conversation your room needs
Every talk gets shaped around the audience in front of me, so treat these as starting points rather than a fixed menu. Some suit a leadership team, some suit a room of women who have had a long week, and a few work surprisingly well for both.
Yes, people laugh. No, that has never made the serious parts land softer.
Men meet menopause
Helping men, partners and colleagues understand what is actually happening, and feel confident enough to have the conversation.

Menopause at work
What leaders, managers and employees need to understand about confidence, concentration and the everyday experience of it.

Why women's health needs a strategy rather than a poster, and what it takes to keep asking the awkward questions until something changes.

Midlife confidence and identity
An honest conversation about changing bodies, shifting priorities, relationships, and finding your voice again.
Conferences and groups
ADHD, menopause and making sense of yourself
Late diagnosis, looking back with fresh understanding, and what that turns out to mean for life, relationships and work.
Personal and workplace
Opening Pandora's boxes
The experiences we keep quiet about, why midlife brings them back up, and what happens when a room gives itself permission to talk.
Groups and communities
Changing direction in midlife
Retraining, starting again, and finding the nerve to take a different path when everyone assumes you are settled.
