Menopause

About Menopause

Have you found yourself thinking… Why does everything suddenly feel harder? You’re more tired than you used to be. You walk into a room and forget why you’re there. Your confidence dips in meetings that never used to faze you. And you’re still trying to keep work, home, and everyone else going. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone. I’m Liz Lay. I’m a certified menopause coach, and after more than thirty years working in corporate roles, I made the decision to retrain because of my own experience with menopause. Brain fog. Anxiety. Hot flushes. That feeling of not quite recognising myself. I kept thinking I just needed to try harder. But menopause isn’t about trying harder. It’s about understanding what’s happening in your body, and working with it instead of against it. This podcast is for busy women navigating perimenopause and menopause who want to feel calmer, clearer and more in control, especially at work. In these short episodes, I’ll share practical, realistic support around sleep, stress, movement, nourishment and boundaries. The small daily shifts that actually make a difference. We’ll also talk about the workplace, because menopause doesn’t switch off when you walk into a meeting. You’re not losing your capability. You’re moving through a transition. If you’re ready for honest conversations and steady support, follow the podcast and let’s take this next chapter step by step.

   Why Resilience Changes During Menopause

   Feeling less resilient during menopause does not mean you have become weaker. Liz explores how sleep disruption, hormonal changes, caring responsibilities and workplace pressure can increase the load women are carrying — and why midlife resilience may look more like boundaries, support and recovery than pushing through.
