If you want 2026 to feel different, it has to begin differently. In this episode, we explore why midlife women don’t need more motivation - we need simple, sustainable habits that fit real life. Joan introduces Your Midlife Reset, a 21-day habit challenge designed to help you build clarity, consistency, and confidence as you step into the new year.

In this episode of The Midlife Glow Up Podcast, Joan invites listeners to take a thoughtful look at their personal story with nutrition - the beliefs they grew up with, the rules they absorbed without realizing it, and the “diet mentality” that often follows women into midlife. She explains why this season of life isn’t the time for shrinking or restricting, but for intentional nourishment that supports hormones, metabolism, energy, and long-term health.

Joan then breaks down the five most impactful things women over 40 can add to their plates to feel, look, and perform their best. Each one is simple, powerful, and rooted in science, and Joan shares both personal stories and client examples to illustrate how small nutrition upgrades can transform daily life.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why midlife is not the time for eating less, but for eating more intentionally
• How your early beliefs about food may still be influencing your choices today
• The connection between nourishment, hormone balance, metabolism, and emotional steadiness
• Five key additions that powerfully support a midlife body (without dieting or perfection)
• How fueling properly leads to better consistency, fewer cravings, and more sustainable habits

In this episode of The Midlife Glow Up Podcast, Joan breaks down the truth about gratitude - not as a feeling you wait for, but as a practice you choose, especially in the messy middle of midlife.

She explores how intentionally looking for what you’re grateful for shifts the entire way you experience your life. When you train your brain to notice something good, it starts finding even more - changing your perspective, your stress response, and even your health habits.

Joan also talks about gratitude for your physical body - your vessel - and how this simple, daily practice can transform the way you care for yourself. When you appreciate your body, even with its imperfections, you naturally want to fuel it better, move it more, and treat it with the respect it deserves.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, disconnected from your body, or stuck in an all-or-nothing mindset, this episode will help you slow down, re-center, and reconnect with what’s already working in your life.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why gratitude is a practice, not a feeling
• How gratitude shifts your brain’s filter from overwhelm to clarity
• Why appreciating your physical body helps you treat it better
• A simple gratitude rhythm you can begin today
