experience to the stage
Protect Your Trajectory™ was created to bring awareness to an often-overlooked reality in the workplace: many highly capable women experience significant physical, cognitive, and emotional changes during perimenopause and menopause that directly affect performance, productivity, confidence, leadership, and career progression.
Too often, these women are labeled as burned out, anxious, distracted, or less resilient — when in reality they are navigating major physiologic changes with little education, support, or recognition.
Women in this stage of life are frequently at the peak of their professional expertise and leadership. They are executives, physicians, entrepreneurs, managers, educators, and essential members of organizations — yet many silently struggle while continuing to carry enormous professional and personal responsibilities.
The impact extends beyond the individual. Organizations experience the downstream effects through presenteeism, reduced productivity, leadership attrition, and loss of experienced talent. Protect Your Trajectory™ exists to change that conversation.
Two talks.
One urgent conversation.
A candid, science-backed exploration of how perimenopause and menopause affect concentration, confidence, and career trajectory — and what employers can do right now to create genuinely supportive environments. Dr. Relvas brings the clinical depth of a board-certified menopause physician with the urgency of someone who lived it. Ideal for HR teams, DEI leads, and leadership groups.
Tailored for women in the thick of it — practical, evidence-based strategies to protect focus, energy, and output when your body is changing everything. Dr. Relvas reframes menopause not as a derailment but as a transition that, with the right knowledge, women can navigate without sacrificing the careers they've built. Ideal for women's networks, employee resource groups, and company all-hands.
A story that
made this mission
non-negotiable.
Dr. Relvas was a high-performing pediatric intensivist and medical director of a Pediatric ICU while unknowingly going through perimenopause. At the time, she did not receive the help she needed — not even a diagnosis that could explain what was happening.
She experienced symptoms that affected her sleep, emotional resilience, cognitive performance, and overall well-being — while continuing to care for critically ill children and lead in a high-pressure medical environment. The additional distress this created was profound.
There were moments when the suffering became so overwhelming that she understood firsthand why many women quietly leave careers they once loved. Physicians and non-physicians alike often reduce hours, step away from leadership, lose confidence, or leave the workforce entirely during this transition.
"Women deserve education earlier. They deserve to be heard. They deserve clinicians who understand the physiologic changes occurring during this stage of life. And they deserve access to evidence-based strategies that can help protect not only their health, but also their trajectory — professionally, personally, emotionally, and physically. That is why I created Protect Your Trajectory™."
