Meet Jainy Smith
Menopause Support That Moves Beyond Policies and Posters
With 40 years' experience in corporate business, across senior commercial management roles, Jainy Smith understands the realities of leadership, workplace pressure and the expectation to keep performing when everything beneath the surface may be changing.
Today, Jainy brings that commercial insight together with her own lived-in experience, evidence-aware education and straight-talking honesty. She is the author of two bestselling books, Your Ovaries Have a Resignation Plan and Manopause 101 (which educates men on menopause) as well as a radio broadcaster, podcaster, menopause educator and workplace speaker.
Her work explores the realities conventional menopause support often overlooks – loss of confidence, shifting identity, reduced tolerance, relationship strain and the fear that symptoms could affect a woman's credibility, performance or future career.
Jainy also educates male leaders and management teams, giving them the understanding, language and confidence to respond appropriately and support colleagues without embarrassment, assumptions or awkward silence.
Working alongside HR, People and DEI teams, she helps organisations craft practical, company-wide Menopause Manifestos that turn policy into meaningful action – creating informed, inclusive workplaces where women feel heard, valued and able to remain confident, capable and fulfilled throughout their careers.
Her talks are professional, accessible and memorable: delivered with enough humour to engage the room, enough honesty to make people think and enough substance to create lasting change.
Ready to move menopause support beyond the policy document? Invite Jainy to speak, educate your leadership team or help your organisation create a Menopause Manifesto that makes a measurable difference.

Field Fisher LLP & The Menopause Mastermind.
Field Fisher LLP's Manchester office marked World Menopause Day with a TMR Universe Lunch & Learn for their Male Partners, organised by their Menopause Support Group. They invited Jainy to deliver a 90 minute session that blended expert menopause education, sharp humour and relatable content. This included a highly engaging, fun and educational Menopause Mastermind 'The Legal Edition' quiz for four Senior Male Partners, testing their menopause knowledge.
It was great to meet you last week. The session went down really well, and I thoroughly enjoyed participating in such an important event and topic. I am looking forward to the male management training, as I think this will be so beneficial. Thank you for a great, interactive and informative session – you made a tough topic very honest and relatable.
I just wanted to say a huge thank you for the Menopause Mastermind event, it was incredibly enlightening. It's a cause that really hits home for me, as my partner was recently diagnosed with Perimenopause. Watching them go through the diagnosis process with NHS doctors, which felt like wading through treacle, was quite stressful – and has helped me to better understand and support her.
I just wanted to say a massive thank you for hosting today's Menopause Raconteur lunch & learn – we had such a great attendance at the event, and I was shocked at how many of our teams attended the live streaming too! I've had such brilliant feedback from attendees since, saying your honesty, relatability and humour made it a really fun and highly informative session. Thank you!
