Leadership Doesn't Pause During Menopause with Doralice Allen

You know those moments when your body says, “enough,” but your ambition says, “keep going”? Today’s guest, Doralice Allen, knows that crossroads all too well. As a former corporate leader managing a 25-person team, she was powering through brain fog, sleepless nights, and relentless hot flashes—until she realized that pushing harder wasn’t strength, it was survival. That wake-up call led Doralice to rebuild her health from the inside out and transform her pain into purpose. Now a certified menopause and life coach, she’s the founder of Pause Evolution, helping high-achieving women 40 and beyond reclaim their clarity, energy, and confidence — without sacrificing their success.

In this conversation, Doralice shares how understanding menopause symptoms like night sweats, anxiety, and brain fog can actually become a leadership advantage. She reveals her five-step Sleep & Focus Checklist, a simple yet powerful tool for restoring rest, balance, and mental sharpness — and shows us what’s possible when women stop pushing through the pause and start leading from it. Let’s “Call IT In” Call in: Leadership Doesn't Pause During Menopause!
