When Effort Isn’t the Problem

Just sharing for anyone who might need to hear this today.

Midlife has a way of asking different questions than it used to, especially around food, energy, and how we relate to our bodies.

And this time of year seems to amplify it.

For many women, it’s not the food itself that feels heavy.

It's the anticipation.

The expectations.

The family dynamics.

The inner voice is already planning how to “undo” December.

What I keep noticing is this: It’s not that effort disappeared; it’s that pressure stopped being helpful

If that inner voice feels louder right now, nothing has gone wrong. It's just pressure trying to protect you.

And pressure doesn’t need obedience; it needs understanding.

If you’re open to sharing, I’d love to know: 👉 What feels most tender in your relationship with your body right now?

No fixing. No advice. Just space to name what’s true. 💛
