FEMPOWER women, can we tell the truth for a second? Midlife energy isn’t something you “find.”It’s something you spend—and most of us are spending it on things nobody claps for. Today’s prompt is not accountability. It’s identity. Make a quick list: - 3 energy leaks (the sneaky stuff) - people-pleasing, doom scrolling, - decision fatigue, resentment chores, over-explaining, being “on” all day… 1 energy deposit (something that gives you back even a little): - 10 minutes outside, - a shower without rushing, - protein you didn’t overthink, - a nap, silence, music, stretching… Then choose ONE FEMPOWER boundary for today: “Today I’m not spending energy on ____.” Drop your leak + your deposit + your boundary in the comments. I’ll reply with a simple “tired-day version” that fits your real life.

Midlife sleep can feel like a roulette wheel… and the worst part isn’t even the night. It’s the mental negotiating all day:“Will I sleep tonight?”“What if I wake up again?”“How am I going to function tomorrow?” So today we’re doing something different: a Night-Before Plan.Not to control sleep—just to lower the pressure. Reply with these 3 lines (keep it honest + simple): 1. Tonight I’m releasing: ________ (ex: solving everything / scrolling / doing “one more thing”) 2. Tonight I’m choosing: ________ (one small wind-down ritual) 3. If I wake up, my plan is: ________ (sleep story / breathing / low light / no phone) Here are examples you can steal: - “I’m releasing: proving I’m fine.” - “I’m choosing: phone off + shower + 10 minutes reading.” - “If I wake up: no phone, low light, one sleep meditation.” I’ll reply to your comment with one tiny upgrade that makes your plan more realistic. (And yes—laughing counts as nervous system support.) 😄

What “boring” food keeps you steady? (examples: eggs, Greek yogurt, soup, chicken salad, cottage cheese, protein smoothie) Drop yours — someone needs it.

If your sleep has been off and you’re starting to feel like it’s your fault… I want to take that pressure off you today. Midlife sleep isn’t a moral failing. It’s capacity + nervous system + consistency.And the fix usually isn’t a bigger routine — it’s a smaller, keepable Sleep Floor. Tomorrow at MPOWER Hour (12pm ET):Tired of Being Tired: A Midlife Sleep Reset (No Perfect Nights)We’ll cover all 3 patterns: 1. trouble falling asleep 2. waking up overnight 3. waking up tired And you’ll leave with: ✅ your ONE Sleep Floor lever for 7 days ✅ a simple “when I can’t sleep, I do ___” plan ✅ a tired-day plan so one bad night doesn’t wreck your day For today (quick check-in):Which one are you right now? Reply with 1, 2, or 3 👇 1. Can’t fall asleep 2. Wake up overnight 3.

If you’re exhausted in midlife, you don’t need stricter rules — you need recovery. Here’s your Sleep Floor (simple, doable, and actually sustainable): ✅ Pick ONE lever for the next 7 days Choose just one: 1. Same wake time (yes, even weekends) 2. Morning light (5–10 minutes outside within an hour of waking) 3. Caffeine cutoff (set a time: 12pm or 2pm) 4. 10-minute wind-down (shower, stretch, breathwork, boring book — no deep thinking) ✅ Tonight’s tiny win Before bed, answer this in your head: “What would make sleep 10% easier tonight?”Not perfect. Just easier. 🔥 Your check-in Comment with: 1) Your ONE lever (wake time / light / caffeine / wind-down) 2) One thing that tends to steal your sleep (scrolling, stress, hot flashes, late dinner, mind racing, etc.) I’ll reply with one simple adjustment that fits your real life.
