Manage Your Mind Mindful Moment: Midlife Weight Gain, Food Rules & Finding Peace with Food
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This episode comes out of reflecting on my own journey after finishing a menopause clinic where every woman I saw that day, was disheartened and frustrated with weight gain.
In this episode I’m sharing more of my own story with weight gain in midlife, the mindset shifts I had to make, and the relationship with food I needed to rebuild to finally feel good in my body again.
We talk about:
✨ food rules
✨ emotional eating
✨ hunger awareness
✨ sugar and cravings
✨ why “being good” often backfires
✨ and how sustainable change is so much more about mindset than willpower.
This is an honest conversation about what actually helped me — and what I now help other women work through too. 💛
