About this listen

 If you’ve spent years being the one who shows up, supports everyone else, and keeps the peace — but lately, it’s all starting to feel too much — this episode is your reminder that you are not alone, and it’s okay to start putting yourself first. In this conversation, Ashley sits down with licensed perinatal therapist Leah Andreoni, founder of Rising Sun Therapy, to explore why people-pleasing patterns hit a breaking point in midlife — and how women can reclaim their time, energy, and sense of self with clarity and compassion. 🎙️ StrongHER Voices is the empowering podcast helping women navigate their StrongHER Era with clarity, confidence, and the honest, expert-backed support they deserve. Hosted by Ashley Basilio — certified menopause health coach, fitness professional, and women’s wellness advocate. -- In this episode, we cover: ✅ Why people-pleasing patterns often intensify during perimenopause ✅ What happens when estrogen drops — and suddenly you start asking, “Why am I still doing this?” ✅ Signs you might be stuck in over-giving mode — and how it affects your relationships, energy, and identity ✅ Practical scripts and mindset shifts to start saying no with less guilt ✅ How understanding your personal values helps set better boundaries ✅ What to do with the guilt that creeps in when you finally prioritize yourself ✅ Why midlife is a powerful window to break old habits and choose a new way forward ✅ Leah’s personal and professional insights on supporting women through this transition ✅ One reframe that can help you feel more peace and less pressure in this next chapter -- 👥 Featured Guest Leah Andreoni has worked with families and mothers in various therapeutic capacities for over 20 years.
