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.

In this episode, you'll discover:

Why perimenopause can last 7–10 years and what that means for your business

The #1 symptom most people don't know about (it's not what you think)

How losing over an hour's sleep per night affects decision-making and productivity

Simple but powerful ways to restructure your business to work with you through this phase

What business owners and employers can do right now to better support their teams and clients

Claire also shares details about her free virtual training — The Perimenopausal Business Revolution — where she equips entrepreneurs with the tools and education to navigate this head-on.
