January often begins with a surge of motivation, and then, just as quickly, that momentum fades.

In this episode, marking six years of the podcast, we name a common midlife experience: the new year starts, expectations reset, but life underneath stays heavy. When momentum doesn’t last, many women assume they are the problem. They’re not.

This conversation offers clarity, not motivation. We explore why willpower was never the issue, how decision fatigue drains energy in midlife, and why moving forward requires less pressure — not more effort.

You’ll also hear a brief reflection on the evolution of this podcast into Time For Wellness, and how simple tools, including AI, can support clarity and time-saving without replacing creativity or voice.

This episode sets the tone for January:
Nothing is wrong with you. You just need a different way to move forward.

Grab your smoothie or cup of tea, and join the conversation. Let's go!
