Afternoon Keynote - Transcending the Overload: The Unspoken Pressures & Health Realities of Female Leaders
Description

Across practically every stage of their careers, women experience a wide range of health realities and biological transitions that influence cognition, hormones, stress, sleep, metabolism, emotional regulation and overall well-being; however, these changes are often misunderstood or minimized in professional environments. In this illuminating session, Dr. Jessica Shepherd, Board-Certified OB/GYN, author and Chief Medical Officer at Hers, will normalize these common experiences and explore how these physiological shifts intersect with complex and overlapping pressures of leadership, career advancement, caregiving responsibilities and societal expectations. Drawing on her expertise and passion for advancing women's health, Dr. Shepherd reveals the powerful connection between understanding these life stages and unlocking greater vitality, longevity and sustainable well-being.
