Ep. 16: Flourishing Beyond Limits in Midlife with Belinda Bayliss
In this empowering episode Nichi sits down with Belinda Bayliss, founder and CEO of Flourishing Beyond Limits, to discuss the often unseen and unspoken challenges of midlife for women. Belinda shares her personal journey through early menopause following cancer treatment, shedding light on the invisible struggles women face with hormonal changes, brain fog, and feelings of being stuck or unseen. Together, they explore the importance of raising awareness about perimenopause, debunking myths around HRT, and embracing strategies for strength, mobility, and self-nourishment. Belinda also emphasises the value of connection and community, highlighting how women can reclaim their health, confidence, and power in midlife.
Key Takeaways from This Episode:
- Midlife as an Invisible Transition:
- Midlife, particularly the transition through perimenopause and menopause, is often an invisible and unspoken challenge for women.
- The Impact of Estrogen on Women's Health:
- Estrogen changes happen at three key life stages: puberty, pregnancy, and menopause. However, while the first two are socially accepted and supported, menopause is often ignored or misunderstood.
- Brain fog, memory loss, and emotional changes are common but often mistaken for early dementia or stress.
- The Need for Greater Awareness and Education:
- There's a lack of education for both women and health professionals about the complexities of menopause and perimenopause.
4. Practical Strategies for Midlife Health & Flourishing:
- Physical Strength & Mobility, nutrition, community & connection and self-nourishment strategies are discussed.
5. Belinda's Mission with Flourishing Beyond Limits:
- To empower women in midlife to flourish, feel strong, and embrace this stage of life with confidence and health.
- She offers personalised one-on-one coaching, group courses, and will soon be launching a podcast focused on midlife women.
