Capture the real questions.
Not only symptoms. The lived impact across health, work, identity, relationships and agency.
The 25,000 Voices Project
Before the world speaks to women, we are asking women to speak.
The global listening survey is the first stage of The Big Listen. Its purpose is to reveal what women over 40 are actually navigating, what has been missed, and what a truly useful summit must address.

Not assumptions.
voices shaping the agenda
Built with women.Not assumptions.
Build the event from the findings.
Use the responses to refine tracks, select sessions, brief experts and create practical resources.
Carry the voices beyond the event.
Publish themes, equip partners and turn collective insight into a year-round action agenda.
THE CORE LISTENING SURVEY
Twelve questions that can change what gets built.
Designed for reflection rather than diagnosis. Responses may inform aggregate event themes and public findings; personally identifying stories should never be shared without explicit permission.
When you think about your life and health after 40, what feels most different from what you expected?
Where do you most often feel unheard, dismissed or expected to simply push through?
Which areas need the clearest answers right now?
Strength or joint health · nutrition · hormones · mind or mood · intimate health · work or caregiving · something else
What changes have affected your day-to-day life most?
What have you tried—and what made it hard to find useful support?
Where are you encountering the most conflicting or confusing information?
Which conversation feels hardest to have?
With a clinician · employer · partner · family · friend · yourself
What would you want a healthcare professional, employer or partner to understand without you having to defend it?
What would help you feel more capable, informed or in control over the next 90 days?
Whose experience or perspective do you rarely see represented?
If one session could be built directly for you, what question would it answer?
What should The Big Listen do after the summit so this becomes more than a week of content?
