The holidays hit different in midlife - and not in a fun way.
More sugar, more alcohol, less sleep, zero routine…and suddenly you’re stuck in the “f*ck it, I’ll start over in January” spiral.
In this episode of Midlife + Menopause Unfiltered, we get real about how to enjoy the holidays without guilt, punishment, or blowing up your progress.
We talk about:
Why alcohol hits so much harder in perimenopause and midlife
How grazing, skipping meals, and “saving calories” backfires
Simple, realistic strategies for holiday eating and drinking
How to stop one night from turning into a full-week spiral
And why January does not need to be a reset button
No dieting. No detoxes. No earning or burning off food.
Just real talk, simple tips, and a reminder that one meal, one night, or one weekend doesn’t undo everything.
🎄We also want to say thank-you as we head into the holidays and take a short break before coming back in 2026.
We wish you a safe, happy holiday season and Merry Christmas and reminding you that you’re not alone in this midlife chaos.
