The one thing impacting millions of UK business owners right now - and most of us don't even know it's happening. In this episode, Nick sits down with Claire Bartlett - The Simplified CEO - for a conversation that surprised even him. Claire specialises in supporting perimenopausal entrepreneurs to simplify their businesses and create a more sustainable, spacious way of working. And the numbers behind this issue are staggering: 13 million women in the UK are currently perimenopausal or menopausal, over 1 million of them are self-employed, and 67% report it's negatively affecting their business. This isn't just a conversation for women. If you employ people, work with clients, or have a business partner, someone in your world is affected right now.
