What happens when a "Fortune 150 beast" suddenly feels incapable of recalling a basic metric in the boardroom? In the debut episode of the Menopause Stories Podcast, Dr. Tamara Beckford sits down with leadership strategist and former aviation executive Delilah Bartlette.

Delilah opens up about leading high-visibility global initiatives while unknowingly navigating the physiological shifts of perimenopause. From an unexplainable frozen shoulder to the "brain fog" that threatened her professional brand, Delilah shares the reality of maintaining executive authority when your body stops following the playbook. This episode is a clinical audit of why high-achieving women must stop "powering through" and start architecting a strategy for their next 40 years.

1. The Stealth Symptom: Why an achy shoulder was the "Aha moment" that led Delilah to investigate her hormones.
2. The Boardroom Blank: Navigating the fear of losing "street cred" when brain fog hits during C-suite deliverables.
3. The "Old Person" Myth: Dismantling the lie that menopause is a 60+ issue and recognizing the 10-year perimenopause transition.
4. Medical Advocacy: Why your primary care doctor might tell you to "thug it out" and how to find specialized clinical support.
5. The Power Track: Delilah reveals the surprisingly honest song that describes her journey through the "Midlife Hijack."

Delilah Bartlette is the founder of Delilah Bartlette Leadership Solutions. With nearly 30 years in the aviation industry, she rose to the top 1% of a Fortune 150 company, leading groundbreaking corporate initiatives. Today, she uses her unique perspective to develop courageous, confident leaders.

Dr. Elizabeth Hughes is a dermatologist, inventor, writer, and coach with an outside-the-box approach to medicine and being a physician.

After graduating from medical school at the University of Virginia, she completed an internship at the University of Pennsylvania and a dermatology residency at Stanford, where she was also a chief resident. As impressive as all these sounds, for most of her life, including throughout medical training, Dr. Hughes hid a secret: she was married to a man with an antisocial personality disorder. This relationship nearly drove her to suicide.

Rather than feeling victimized, Dr. Hughes now views this relationship — and, more importantly, leaving the relationship — as the most formative experience in her life. By fully moving past that chapter of her life, she reclaimed energy and creativity, which she thought was lost. She embarked on an entrepreneurial path: founding a skincare company, joining a dermatology start-up, and authoring widely read KevinMD articles.
