7 Lies Women Tell Themselves in Menopause (that keep them from joy)
Oct 12, 2025
Let’s talk about the lies that keep too many women struggling in silence.
I hear them every week from high-performing women.
CEOs, physicians, executives, accountants.
I’ve even said some myself.
But they are costing you your peace, your energy, and your joy.
Here they are
1️⃣ “This is just aging.”
No, it’s not. It's a hormone imbalance.
You are not supposed to feel exhausted, foggy, or lifeless.
That is not aging.
That’s your body saying something is wrong.
2️⃣ “Everyone feels this way.”
They don’t.
They have just stopped talking about it.
You have accepted pain as normal because no one around you is telling the truth.
3️⃣ “I should be grateful it’s not worse.”
Gratitude does not heal imbalance.
You can be thankful and still admit you feel awful.
Minimizing your pain does not make you strong.
It keeps you stuck and miserable.
4️⃣ “It’s all in my head.”
It’s not in your head. It’s in your hormones.
When estrogen and progesterone crash, you crash.
No amount of mindset work can fix a chemical problem.
And so you can’t keep believing that if you’d like.
5️⃣ “I just need more willpower.”
You do not need more willpower, sister.
You need balance. You are not lazy.
You are depleted. And depletion CANNOT be outworked.
6️⃣ “My doctor said it’s normal.”
Normal is not the same as optimal.
If your labs are “fine” but you feel awful, you are not fine.
You are being dismissed or worse being gaslit.
7️⃣ “It’s too late for me.”
No, it’s not.
You can restore your energy, metabolism, and confidence at any age.
Your body is not broken.
It is waiting for you to listen.
Hear this clearly.
You don’t need to tough it out.
You only have to tell yourself the truth and get the help your body is asking for.
Hormone balance is not luxury.
It is liberation.
If this spoke to you, reply with “TRUTH.”
Let’s talk about what balance could look like for you.
Because suffering doesn’t have to be your story.
