When did you notify your team of women related health challenges? Right now, it’s not anything serious. But it has the potential to blow up on me really fast. I want to tell them, but I also feel as though it’s not their business to know. I also don’t want to overshare and the challenges go away naturally. Any advice?

Sorry to hear you're going through troubled times. I'd take it one day at a time. You are correct that your employer doesn't need to know about your personal medical situation, however, they should be made aware of certain aspects that could impact your performance. Be prepared to address that ONLY if and when it becomes necessary. In the meantime, take care of yourself.

Thank you for this

I'm very sorry to hear this. Is there a trusted higher up you could have an informal chat with? I don't think you need to disclose unless it could drastically impact work performance/resource planning. Hope it goes in your favor!

Great idea! Thank you!

I believe you should hold a meeting and do this as soon as possible. Start with the challenges women face in workplaces, then generally move towards health issues.

Definitely important! Thank you!
