By Brent Tucker, Founder and Owner — First Responder’s Coffee Company Brent Tucker When I retired from the service as a Green Beret and Delta Force Operator, friends called on me to help them train SWAT teams all over the country.

In studying any specific culture, common phrases always arise from stories. For example, even though there is no water, when nurses are totally overwhelmed, they frequently say, “I’m drowning” because this metaphor comes the closest to how they feel in that moment. This phrase is not written down or taught anywhere in school. It is picked up and carried throughout the profession on the waves of culture.

An estimated 1.1 billion women worldwide will have experienced menopause by 2025. Symptoms like hot flashes, fatigue, and anxiety can be incredibly disruptive — and last for years. But despite its massive impact, little is being done to support those going through menopause in the workplace.
