Why Holding up the Sky…?
Gallup’s latest research on women in the workplace shows that 51% of working women report high levels of daily stress, and 42% say their jobs have negatively affected their mental health.
The struggle to balance work and personal responsibilities - combined with inflexible workplace structures - is driving burnout and prompting many to consider leaving their roles.

Women juggling caregiving and work demands are 81% more likely to feel burned out.

The 2025 Burnout report from Mental Health UK states that women (94%) were more likely than men (89%) to experience high or extreme levels of pressure or stress in the past year.
A recent Mayo Clinic study of over 4,000 women (of whom 19.7% identified as caregivers), found that caregivers had a higher prevalence of moderate to very severe menopause symptoms (42.5%) compared to non-caregivers (36.4%) and that the proportion of women experiencing moderate or worse menopause symptoms increased with the number of caregiving hours.
