006- The Magic of “No”: Freeing up your time and Energy

Melissa Hinman

How can saying no be a transformative act of self-care? Join us as we explore the art of navigating the summer social scene while prioritizing your well-being, especially for women in perimenopause. 

In this episode: 

  • The Power of "No" (especially when its not a resounding 'Yes'): It's okay to decline invitations, especially if you're in perimenopause and experiencing hot flashes or fatigue. Saying no allows you to prioritize your well-being and avoid feeling drained.
  • Practice Self-Care Strategies: Prioritize sleep (7-9 hours), engage in regular physical activity (even housework counts!), and incorporate relaxation techniques like deep breathing or meditation. Nourish your body with healthy foods and connect with supportive loved ones.
  • Be Honest and Communicate: Be upfront about your energy levels and needs with friends and family. Suggest alternative activities that are lower-key or offer to meet up at a later date.
