Four big HORMONES that lead to OVEREATING in perimenopause

Does life feel boring and routine?

  • Order sushi!  Or pop open a bottle of champagne!

Do you feel down in the dumps?

  • Lasagna feels like a warm blanket on the inside.

Are you stressed and overwhelmed with work?

  • Order a pizza, who has time to cook?

Enjoying summer with friends?

  • Slap eight types of meat on the barbecue, and wash it down with one (make it two!) bottles of wine. Each.

Frustrated because you can’t sleep?

  • A little ice cream sure goes down nice.

Like it or not we often use food (and drink) to change our mood.

Make your health your most valuable investment

Working with women over 40, many women I meet are focused on building wealth.

They’re asking for raises or getting promoted.

They’re finding ways to create passive income, and get their money working for them.

They’re hiring financial advisors and wealth managers to help them get to their goals.

I love that so many women are kicking ass financially.

And, it’s also made me think.

The principles of building wealth are pretty much the same as those that build health.

The big difference is currency.

A 21-Day Meditation Challenge for your body

It’s obvious that you need to move your body to change your body.

But in order to move your body, you need to use your mind.

Because your mind is in charge.

  • It’s your mind that gets your body out the door.
  • It’s your mind that chooses the food that goes into your mouth.
  • It’s your mind that decides how you’re going to deal with stress.

So, if any of your goals include fitness, health, fat loss, or strength…

It’s your mind that will get you there.

Energize yourself by going GREEN this summer

I would never have thought a color could affect health.

But colors do impact us.

Not only emotionally and psychologically, but physically as well.

GREEN, in particular, is a color that not only represents health and well-being…

It can literally transform your health and well-being.

GREEN is also associated with growth, renewal, and calm.

So, I think we could all use a little more green in our lives.

I mean, if a color can make you healthier, why not make it work for you?

Here are some ideas for introducing more GREEN into your life this summer:

How to ACTUALLY make YOUR HEALTH a priority

What are the most important things in life to you?

Chances are, if you’re like most of us, “My health” is somewhere near the top of the list.

But I’m not sure if many of us actually believe ourselves when we say it.

In fact, I hear that a lot.

I hear the guilt around not making health a priority.

And the shame around being out of shape and overweight.

What I’ve learned is that we all want our health to be a top priority.

But we don’t always know how to make that happen within our busy lives.

And that’s ok.

Because there’s a solution.

Getting organized for better health

Have you ever watched “Get Organized with The Home Edit” on Netflix?

I’m obsessed!

Although I’ve never been an organization freak, this show makes me want to be one.

Seeing the home spaces they organize, so beautifully arranged by function and color, just makes me feel good.

And, on the flip-side, I know that when I see cluttered and chaotic spaces in my house, I don’t feel good.

It feels like total overwhelm and sadness.

It stresses me.

And you know, if you’ve been reading my posts, that stress is a huge barrier to weight loss, fitness, and a healthier life.

So, just by organizing your environment you can feel better, in every way.

But organizing isn’t just about your home environment.
