Can You Have It All? Big Careers, Motherhood, & Menopause with Oprah Daily Editorial Director Pilar Guzmán

Are you an ambitious woman who also wants to have a family? Can you make time for motherhood while you’re busy building your resumé? Balancing the pursuit of a high-level career while being aware of your biological clock is a tough thing to navigate. And when you do have kids, how do you manage your work schedule while also trying to be a present, engaged parent? Can we really have it all? In this episode, Dr. Alicia Robbins and Dr. Lucky Sekhon are joined by Pilar Guzmán, Editorial Director of Oprah Daily, who has spent her career shaping the conversations women have about their lives, their identities, and the things that matter most to them. She’s also a mother, storyteller, and someone who’s had a front row seat to the changing conversations around women’s health. Pilar, Oprah Winfrey, and the team at Oprah Daily are launching The Book of Menopause, a science-backed guide that tackles everything from hot flashes and brain fog to intimacy, identity, and what it means to thrive in mid-life. Dr. Robbins and Dr. Sekhon are going beyond the book and hearing from Pilar herself about her own journey, career, motherhood, the ways her relationship with success has changed overtime, and what she’s learned from speaking with some of the most influential voices in women’s health. After experiencing menopause herself, Pilar became devoted to combining medicine and storytelling to help create language and understand this stage of life. Women deserve to feel informed, empowered and know that there is so much to look forward to and be optimistic about as they evolve. They should not have to wait until they’re struggling to learn about their bodies, and they certainly shouldn’t have to accept feeling terrible as an inevitable part of getting older. Pilar also shares her thoughts about what makes a good leader, how to hire the right people, and what advice she’d give to young, high-achieving women who struggle with the need to constantly prove themselves. Whether you are just starting your career and/or your family in your 30s, entering perimenopause in your 40s, or going through menopause in your 50s, this episode is for you. Follow Pilar: @pilar_guzman The Book of Menopause IF YOUR GOOGLE SEARCH HISTORY LOOKS LIKE THIS… What’s the good news about perimenopause and menopause? How do I know if I’m ready to take on a leadership position at work? Does menopause lead to divorce? What are the side effects of menopause? How can I balance a high-level career and motherhood? C
