Hello

I’m Lisa Boate, the founder of Liberated Menopause, educator turned menopause advocate, and someone who is deeply passionate about changing the conversation around women’s health, aging, and identity.

 

After more than 20 years working in Education and Coaching, I realized something that honestly made me angry: we teach people about puberty, reproduction, and the life cycle of frogs… but almost nobody teaches women what happens when our bodies begin to change in midlife.

 

So many brilliant, capable women are left feeling confused, dismissed, exhausted, and disconnected from themselves — while still trying to hold together careers, families, relationships, and everyone else’s needs.

 

I created Liberated Menopause because I believe women deserve better. My work blends education, advocacy, humour, lived experience, and straight-up honest conversation. I help women understand what’s happening in their bodies and minds, while also helping workplaces recognize that menopause is not a personal failure to manage quietly — it’s a workplace, leadership, and cultural conversation.

 

I’m also the host of the Transforming 45 podcast, where I hold space for real conversations about midlife transformation, identity shifts, relationships, parenting, reinvention, and what it actually looks like to build a meaningful life in this phase.

 

Around here, we tell the truth, challenge outdated systems, laugh a lot, and stop pretending women should shrink themselves as they age.This isn’t about surviving menopause.It’s about feeling liberated through it.
