From periods to longevity: what every woman should know about her body
About the session
For decades, women have been taught to normalize feeling bad. Painful periods, exhaustion, mood changes, poor sleep or brain fog are too often dismissed as “just being a woman” or “just hormones.”
But what should we actually expect from our bodies — and what should we understand before something feels wrong?
Women’s health is often discussed in chapters: periods, fertility, pregnancy, perimenopause and menopause. But our biology doesn’t reset between each phase. What happens earlier in life can shape how we feel and age decades later.
This conversation explores female health across a lifetime — how to better understand the signals our bodies give us, when to look beyond an individual symptom, and what we shouldn’t simply accept as part of being a woman.
Because understanding female health means looking at the whole picture: our biology, our life stage and the lives we actually live.
And what changes if we start doing that earlier? Could understanding our bodies better today help us make more informed choices — and ultimately change how we experience the decades ahead?

MODERATORTine Hertz
Stress and burnout are some of the most talked-about challenges of our time. But the real conversation is not only about how to treat burnout once it happens—it’s about how to avoid it, manage it, and build resilience before we reach the breaking point.
Burnout rarely comes from one single trigger. It’s the accumulation of pressures in both professional and personal life—pressures that are increasingly hard to separate. The key lies in understanding how these dimensions are connected, and in equipping ourselves with the tools to balance modern life.
This talk explores how we can cultivate resilience—not by avoiding stress or change, but by learning to stand strong through it. It’s about building the inner and outer resources that allow us to navigate uncertainty, manage challenges, and thrive not only at work but in every aspect of life—so we can truly strive, keep performing, and stay healthy even in times of change and challenge.
