How to Set Boundaries During Menopause Without Feeling Guilty

If you keep saying yes when you really need to say no, this episode is for you. Liz explores why boundaries become even more important during perimenopause and menopause, when hormonal changes can affect energy, stress tolerance, and emotional resilience. What once felt manageable can start to feel overwhelming, and many women begin to realise that constantly giving to everyone else is no longer sustainable. In this episode, Liz shares a gentler way to think about boundaries. Not as rejection or selfishness, but as a form of self-respect and support. From pausing before agreeing to extra demands, to being clearer about priorities at work and home, small changes can help protect your energy and create more balance. This is a reassuring reminder that caring for your wellbeing is not selfish. It is necessary, especially during menopause.
