And so can you talk a little bit about, you know, why estrogen is so important at any, really at any stage?

Yeah, so estrogen, testosterone, and progesterone, all three, plus there's a bunch of others that are important as well that go through it.

But those are the three that they go up and down during your menstruation period.

So, you know, you almost at the end, when women at the end of their menstruation feel this change or moodiness, that's the same thing.

It's the decline.

The only great part is that it comes back again because you get another cycle.

And then in pregnancy, it's also a dramatic change of those hormones, really high and then a very large dip.

So what do you think? organizations still fundamentally don't understand about that impact to performance or even retention with our women leaders?

Right

... because I don't want anything that goes with it.

And I had an epiphany moment.

So I was presenting a very large project to the senior team, and I lived and breathed this project.

And I knew everything about it.

I, I had a team, I was working on it day and night and months, and I, you know, prepped the slides, and I was ready.

Then I went in to present, and I hadn't slept much, like I hadn't on most nights.

Mm-hmm.
