Ep 139 The Evenings Reveal Everything: Why Midlife Women Break Down at Night

In this episode, I break down one of the most misunderstood experiences for women over 50:

Why evenings feel like everything falls apart… even when mornings start with determination and discipline.

This isn't a willpower issue.
It's not a motivation issue.
And it has nothing to do with "trying harder."

I share a deeply personal story I've never talked about publicly involving The Biggest Loser, a giant bowl of ice cream, and the moment I realized I'd been blaming the wrong thing for years.

If your evenings feel chaotic, draining, or "out of control," this episode will help you understand what's actually happening in your body, your nervous system, and your day…

…and why the solution has nothing to do with tightening rules or restricting food.

This is an honest, reflective, and liberating conversation about midlife metabolism, emotional load, stress capacity, and the patterns that quietly break women long before the sun sets.

Listen in and stop blaming the wrong parts of your day.
