Mastering the Pivot

A personal story of finding voice, purpose, and a new chapter through MenoPalz.

Hi, I’m Deb McCarthy.

If you found your way here after reading my chapter in The Way She Leads, thank you!

Sharing “Mastering the Pivot” was one of the most personal things I’ve done. It’s about life shifts, finding your voice, and stepping into a new season with courage.

Through MenoPalz, we’re helping bring menopause and midlife conversations into workplaces with greater awareness, compassion, and support.

You’re not alone in this!

The Way She Leads by Morgan Massie and Michelle Erskine is a dedication to the women who lead with heart. This book is full of inspiring stories from 18 authors sharing real-world wisdom and leadership experiences.

In my chapter, Mastering the Pivot, I share the moments that shaped me and the growth that came from every challenge I overcame. I wanted to open the door to a more honest conversation about midlife menopause and remind others that they're not alone in navigating it.

Being part of this project alongside 17 other incredible women is something I don't take lightly. Real stories, real leadership, and a whole lot of heart are behind every page. I can't wait for you all to read a piece of my story!
