Manage episode 491691911 series 3668957
Ever feel like you're just surviving your midlife years rather than thriving in them? You're not alone. After losing 150 pounds in my mid-40s, I've discovered that midlife isn't a crisis—it's a rebirth.
In this week's episode, I'm sharing the practical strategies that transformed my health, energy, and outlook after 40. We start with a deceptively simple practice that changed everything for me: planning tomorrow's day tonight. This five-minute ritual creates momentum that carries through your entire day, helping you seize control rather than feeling overwhelmed. I also reveal my two biggest weight loss tips that helped me shed 150 pounds, including why planning is golden and how fiber-rich foods (aim for 25g daily) keep sugar cravings at bay.
Sleep struggles after 40 are real! I break down why hormonal shifts disrupt our rest and share science-backed sleep hacks that actually work for women in perimenopause and menopause. From morning light exposure to evening bath rituals and visualization techniques, these strategies have transformed my sleep quality without medication. Plus, I share my current beauty obsession—an antimicrobial facial spray that eliminated my monthly breakouts—and simple financial tips to cut grocery expenses without feeling deprived.
The most powerful part of midlife glow-up? Rediscovering yourself. Many of us lose ourselves while raising children or managing life's responsibilities. Now is your moment to make these years your best ones yet. Download the episode for practical inspiration to transform your health, finances, and joy after 40. And remember: "You need to live your life as if you'd want to live it twice."
