If the holidays have ever knocked you off your routine - or you’ve ever thought, “I’ll just start fresh in January,” - Joan wants you to know you’re not alone. But she also wants you to see that it doesn’t have to be that way. The holidays themselves are really only 3 - 4 days spread across 6 - 8 weeks… and that’s far too much time to let go of your momentum or put your health on hold.

In this episode, Joan shares a simple, grounding strategy to help you stay connected to your health goals while still fully enjoying the season. She also opens up about her own experience - how the holidays used to feel overwhelming, pressured, and anything but peaceful… until she learned how to set boundaries, simplify, and build systems that allow her to be present without guilt.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why the holidays don’t have to derail your routine or your progress
• A simple 3-part framework you can use right away: one thing to keep, one thing to add, one thing to let go
• Why connecting with the future version of you (10–20 years from now) helps guide the choices you make today

Joan also invites you to imagine how different things could feel if you had a supportive, realistic fitness and nutrition plan - and a coach in your corner who understands midlife, the mental load you carry, and the life you’re building.

There are a few spots left in Joan’s 1:1 coaching program at the current 2025 rate before prices increase next year.
