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.Copyright 2026 Liz Lay Hygiene & gesundes Leben Persönliche Entwicklung Persönlicher Erfolg Sozialwissenschaften

  • Menopause Anxiety Explained: Hormones, Stress & Emotional Regulation

    Menopause Anxiety Explained: Hormones, Stress & Emotional Regulation
    Jul 5 2026

    Anxiety during perimenopause and menopause can feel sudden, unsettling and confusing, especially when it seems to appear for no obvious reason.

    In this episode, Liz explains how changing hormones, poor sleep, stress, blood sugar dips and the everyday mental load can make the nervous system more sensitive. This can leave you feeling wired, tearful, panicky, overwhelmed, or more reactive than usual.

    This is a reassuring reminder that menopause anxiety is not a character flaw. It can be your body signalling that it needs steadier support, more regulation and gentler care.

    Liz shares simple ways to begin calming the body, including regular meals, hydration, small movement breaks, noticing early stress signals, and using the 3–3–5 breath to support emotional regulation.

  • Micro-Movement at Work: Supporting Menopause Without Leaving Your Desk

    Micro-Movement at Work: Supporting Menopause Without Leaving Your Desk
    Jun 28 2026

    Sitting still for hours can make menopause symptoms feel louder, from brain fog and fatigue to joint aches, stiffness, tension and irritability.

    In this episode, Liz explores how micro-movement at work can support your menopause body without needing a full workout or even leaving your desk. Small movements such as shoulder rolls, heel lifts, gentle stretches, standing briefly, unclenching your jaw, or lengthening your spine can help interrupt the stillness and bring your attention back to your body.

    This is a gentle reminder that movement doesn’t need to be intense to be supportive. Tiny, repeated pauses through the day can help with circulation, tension, clarity, nervous system regulation and overall wellbeing.

    Liz also highlights why workplaces need to normalise movement, hydration and short breaks as part of practical menopause support.

  • Hidden Sugar and Menopause Symptoms: What You Need to Know

    Hidden Sugar and Menopause Symptoms: What You Need to Know
    Jun 21 2026

    Hidden sugar can show up in foods that seem harmless, from breakfast cereals and flavoured yoghurts to sauces, snack bars, ready meals and drinks.

    In this episode, Liz explores how hidden sugar may affect menopause symptoms such as fatigue, bloating, irritability, brain fog, cravings, poor sleep and anxiety. During perimenopause and menopause, hormonal changes can make blood sugar, energy, mood and stress levels feel more sensitive and harder to regulate.

    This is not about guilt, restriction or cutting everything out. It’s about building awareness, reading labels gently, noticing how your body responds, and choosing steadier energy where you can.

    Liz shares simple ways to support your body, including pairing carbohydrates with protein, fibre or healthy fats, starting the day with a more balanced breakfast, and making small swaps that help reduce energy crashes.
