What if menopause wasn’t the end of something, but the beginning of a life you actually want to live? That question kicked off this season of The Midlife Feast, and it also happens to be the perfect note to end on.
In this solo season finale, I reflect on some of the most unexpected joys of midlife that my Instagram community has shared. It’s everything from losing and finding yourself at 50 to embracing new hobbies, saying “no” without guilt, and finally ditching diet culture for good. I also share some very big news: the upcoming release of my new book Eat to Thrive During Menopause, a guide to intuitive eating, gentle nutrition, and symptom support for real women in real bodies.
If you’re looking for a sign that midlife holds more freedom, clarity, and confidence than you ever imagined, this is it!
You'll Learn:
- Why menopause might actually increase your happiness
- What surprised people most about this season of life
- How intuitive eating changes the way you feel about food and your body
- Why midlife friendships feel deeper, truer, and more nourishing
- How I finally found the courage to write my first book
Key Quotes:
“When we make decisions out of fear, we’re running away from something. When we make them with confidence, we’re running toward something.”
“No is a complete sentence. And midlife might be the first time we actually believe it.”
“Even though the physical changes can be annoying, I feel stronger emotionally than ever.”
📚 I wrote a book! Eat To Thrive During Menopause will be out on October 21st, 2025. Pre-order your copy today and help get the word out!
