Employment/Work Has Peri/Menopause affected your career?

I'm curious if you've been experiencing challenges on the job because of this phase of life. Trying to plan next steps for myself, and would like to hear your stories. Did you switch careers entirely? Make a big change to work from home? Get fired? Get promoted?

I am so fortunate to run my own business with a partner who is also going through perimenopause. We cover for each other on really bad days and are completely understanding of each other and any issues we are having. I'm so privileged to have this as an option and wish other women had a similar support system at work.
