Why Does Menopause Change How You Run Business? with Jenna Knudsen

If you have been in business for years and something has quietly shifted, this episode names it. Jennifer Dawn sits down with her best friend and senior JDC coach Jenna Knudsen for a warm, honest conversation about what menopause actually does to how you lead, how you feel, and how you run your business, and why fixing it starts at the root, not the strategy board.
