I say that as someone who spent years pushing through pain and believing I had to be tougher. Midlife taught me a different truth: **capacity changes everything.** **Today’s promise:** choose ONE Sleep Floor lever for 7 days: · fixed wake time · 10 minutes morning light · caffeine cutoff · 20-minute wind-down ✅ Comment your ONE lever + your tired-day version.

If midlife feels harder, it’s not because you’re lazy. It’s because you’re using old rules in a new season. **This week we’re building a FOOD FLOOR** (minimum structure you can keep on tired days): 1) Protein at first meal (tired-day version counts) 2) Repeatable lunch (protein + fiber) 3) Planned dinner + tired-day backup 4) Water baseline ✅ **Comment below:** Which part is hardest right now — mornings, lunch, dinner, or cravings?

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

Midlife-friendly snack = **protein + fiber** (so you don’t crash and crave later). **Pick one:** • Greek yogurt + berries + cinnamon • Apple + nut butter • Cottage cheese + sliced tomato + pepper • Turkey roll-ups + crunchy veggies ✅ Comment: Which one can you actually do today? No gourmet. Real life.

Thank you for showing up today. If you've been feeling like your body is "different" and you can't quite explain it..you're not imagining it - and you're not failing. You're noticing. And noticing is power. If you missed the live, be sure to watch the recording.
