If you’ve ever felt yourself fading from your own brand—quietly stepping out of the spotlight, saying less, choosing safety over visibility—you’re not alone. And you’re not broken.

You’re likely in a season of transition no one warned you about: the one where menopause doesn’t just affect your body, it alters your business presence.

Fiona McKay knows this intimately.

On her Luxe Leap episode, the powerhouse strategist turned Menopause brand builder revealed what most women consultants aren’t talking about: how biology and branding collide when you’re leading at the top.

And how the real risk isn’t the hot flashes—it’s the way you begin to disappear.

When Menopause Makes You Question Your Magic

Before founding The Menopause Maze, Fiona was already a decorated CEO, consulting with global investors and growth-stage companies.

Then a medically induced menopause hit—fast, brutal, disorienting.

What followed wasn’t just personal disruption. It was a brand unraveling.

She felt less visible. Less powerful. Less her.

The camera-ready CEO became the behind-the-scenes operator. The once-vocal leader started second-guessing her voice. The brand that once radiated impact began to feel muted.

“You can feel like a third-rate version of your former self—so you retreat. And eventually, so does your brand.”
— Fiona McKay on The Luxe Leap

But Fiona didn’t stay in retreat.
She transformed that tension into a framework that now helps other elite women leaders reclaim their visibility and value—without compromising their pace, pay, or power.

Your Brand Doesn’t Need a Reinvention. It Needs a Realignment.

Let’s get real: the common narrative around menopause in media is reductive. Either you’re falling apart or you’re starting over. But Fiona offers a third—and far more strategic—path:

Reignite. Don’t disappear.

Your brand is a living system. If you’re in a new season, you need new tools.

That doesn’t mean scaling back. That doesn’t mean rebranding as someone you don’t recognize. And it definitely doesn’t mean doing it for free until someone validates your worth.

What it means is giving yourself permission to lead differently. To show up in a way that feels aligned with who you are now—and still invites premium clients, platforms, and partnerships into your world.

Visibility Is More Than a Strategy—It’s a Lifeline

When high-performing women consultants fade from their own platforms, the world doesn’t just lose a voice—it loses a standard. And we don’t have the luxury of losing any more women to the quiet.

That’s why Fiona’s work is critical. Through her NoPause Advantage framework and diagnostic, she’s helping C-suite leaders, entrepreneurs, and aspiring executives spot exactly where menopause is silently costing them—and giving them the roadmap to rebuild, on their terms.

This is about more than hormones. This is about holding your seat at the table—and raising the damn table if you need to.

If you’re a woman building a business that feels deeply personal…
If you’ve noticed yourself retreating, second-guessing, or simply too tired to pitch…
If you’re wondering how to stay relevant without starting over…

Fiona’s story is the mirror and the method.
