Liz Lay - Menopause I'm Liz, a certified Menopause Coach (CPD).

In navigating my own menopause journey I now help women find strength, balance and confidence to thrive through menopause and beyond, with 1:1 and group coaching and workplace programmes. A family person and pet lover with a love of walking, cycling, running, reading, learning, visiting new places and catching up with friends.

Apparently, we’re a two-dog household now. Don’t ask me how… 😂🐾

Meet Queenie 👑 Richie’s new little corgi sister, who’s made herself at home immediately.

Richie has been brilliant with her and she’s a lovely little furball, leaving half her fluff wherever she goes! Anyone with a corgi will understand. 🤣

We’re working out the new routine: shorter walks for Queenie, longer ones for Richie, and fitting his training around it all.

Another addition to the daily juggle. When you’re already navigating menopause, even lovely changes can take a bit of adjusting.

But they give so much back 💜

Company on the wobbly days. A reason to get outside. Cuddles when you don’t feel like talking and plenty to laugh about.

So welcome, Queenie. More juggling, more hoovering… and more love. 🐾

Tired? Overwhelmed? Anxious? Not quite yourself? 💜

When you’re already juggling so much, working out where to start can feel like another job.

My free ALIVE Menopause Wellbeing Health Check helps you pause, notice what’s affecting your wellbeing and choose one small step that fits your life.

From sleep and energy to stress and confidence, it’s a chance to ask:

“What needs my attention right now?”

It’s not about changing everything. Give yourself somewhere to begin. 🌿

A podcast I recorded back in May is now out! 🎙️

I joined Liz Drury on the Small Business Big Network podcast to talk about my journey into menopause coaching, building my business and the part networking has played along the way.

Networking has given me far more than I ever expected.

✨ Friendships
✨ Clients
✨ Speaking opportunities
✨ Collaborations
✨ Conversations that have opened unexpected doors

One of the biggest things I’ve learned?

You never quite know where one conversation might lead.

I’m incredibly grateful for the people I’ve met and the relationships I’ve built along the way.

Thank you, Liz, for inviting me on.

What happens when asking for help doesn’t leave you feeling helped?

You make the GP appointment.

You try to explain the brain fog, exhaustion, anxiety and the changes you don’t really understand yourself.

Some women feel listened to and well supported.

Others leave feeling dismissed or wondering where to turn next.

Seeing another doctor isn’t always straightforward.

That’s why workplace support matters too.

If your employer provides private medical insurance, online GP access, or a wellbeing package:

Does it specifically include menopause support?

In my corporate role, ours did and it gave me another route to appropriate help.

Do you know if menopause is genuinely part of your workplace wellbeing provision and do you know how to access it where it is?

Have you felt listened to when you’ve asked for menopause support?

Something I’ve found really encouraging recently is how many more men I’m speaking to who are menopause aware and it’s not just the odd one or two.

Some already know quite a lot, others genuinely want to understand more.

They’ve told me about supporting their wives or partners by:

Going to GP appointments with them.

Listening when they need to talk.

Trying not to immediately “fix” everything.

Encouraging them to get outside for a walk.

One man even admitted the listening bit isn’t always successful, but he’s trying.

That matters, because every conversation counts.

But there’s another side to this.

Sometimes women don’t know what to ask for because they don’t fully understand what’s happening themselves.

When you’re exhausted, anxious, struggling to concentrate or simply don’t feel like yourself, explaining what you need isn’t always easy.

You might even be horrible to the man in your life one minute, then feel awful about it when he’s trying to understand.

So perhaps men could start with:

“What would help you today?”

“Do you want me to listen, or shall we think about solutions?”

“Is there something I could take off your plate?”

And women, when you can, be specific:

“I don’t need you to solve this. I just need you to listen.”

“I’m really tired today. Could you sort dinner / the dishwasher / the children?”

“I’d like you to learn a little more about menopause so I don’t have to explain everything myself.”

Nobody gets these conversations right every time and what helps today might be completely different tomorrow.

Awareness is growing, conversations are happening, and every little step makes a difference.

What has someone done that helped you feel understood?
