• 134. Why starting in January Backfires for Your Midlife Midsection and Metabolism

  Join the Cool Girl Collective We created the Cool Girl Collective for women over 40 who are ready to feel supported, seen, and understood. Inside, you'll find real conversations about menopause, hormones, emotional eating, chronic illness, relationships, and everything midlife brings along with with humor, heart, and community. This is your safe space to ask questions, share your story, and find practical tools for your health and happiness. 👉 Click Here to Join:  https://www.skool.com/coolgirlcollective/ If you are a woman in your 40s, 50s, or 60s who keeps promising yourself you will "start fresh" on Monday, the 1st of the month, or January 1, this episode is for you! That all or nothing pattern is not only exhausting, it is really hard on your hormones, your nervous system, and your midlife body. In this conversation, Kim shares how to ditch the giant overhaul and instead build a handful of tiny daily habits that your body can actually handle. These small shifts support your blood sugar, nervous system, and hormones so that your energy, mood, and midsection can finally start to feel better without another extreme diet or punishing plan. You will hear why starting now matters more than starting perfectly, and how waiting until "after the holidays" or "when life calms down" is keeping you stuck. Kim explains how these simple habits help calm cortisol, support insulin, protect your precious midlife muscle, and create the consistency your body is desperately craving. Instead of giving you a rigid checklist, Kim walks you through a menu of ten tiny habits that you could add into your day. You are not meant to do all of them at once. You will learn how to choose just two or three that feel realistic for your life right now and let those become your new normal. From how you start your morning, to how you eat, move, unwind, and prepare for tomorrow, each small choice is designed to be doable, repeatable, and kind to your midlife body. If you are tired of starting over, this episode will help you start smaller, start gentler, and actually stick with it. In this episode, you will learn: ·       Why starting now beats waiting for Monday, the first, or January ·       How all or nothing plans spike cortisol and make midlife weight loss harder ·       The connection between tiny daily habits, insulin resistance, and belly fat ·       Simple ways to build a calmer morning, more satisfied meals, and better sleep ·       How to pick just 2 or 3 tiny habits so you can feel successful instead of overwhelmed ·       Why your midlife body responds better to consistency, safety, and structure than perfection Connect with Kim: Emotional Eats Podcast: Emotional Eats Podcast:  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/emotional-eats-podcast-end-emotional-eating-weight/id1686639038 Website:  https://wellspringcounselingandhealth.com/ Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/kimhynesmidlife/ TikTok:  https://www.tiktok.com/@kimhynesmidlife YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/@Kimhynesmidlife Want to improve your midlife focus or sleep?  Check out Brain.fm.  This app has help me be more productive, get the best afternoon powernaps and bring down my nervous system….fast.  Get 30 days for free here.  https://www.brain.fm/kimhyneshealth   Get my favorite healthy Hot Chocolate (Organifi Chocolate Gold) here: https://www.organifishop.com/ Use code:  KIMH for 20 % off This dark chocolate tumeric tea helps promote relaxation and calm.  It's the perfect substitute for dessert and a great way to help promote sleep.   Other links Kim receives commission on some of these products which are used to continue providing free content and produce the Emotional Eats Podcast.

• 133. Your Over 40 Guide to Saying No to Nonsense

  Join the Cool Girl Collective We created the Cool Girl Collective for women over 40 who are ready to feel supported, seen, and understood. Inside, you'll find real conversations about menopause, hormones, emotional eating, chronic illness, relationships, and everything midlife brings along with with humor, heart, and community. This is your safe space to ask questions, share your story, and find practical tools for your health and happiness. 👉 Click Here to Join:  https://www.skool.com/coolgirlcollective/ This fun, lighthearted episode has a big dose of truth underneath it. Kim is 59 and officially in her "not gonna do it anymore" era, and if you are in your 40s, 50s, or 60s, you will feel this in your soul. As we move through perimenopause and post-menopause, our identity gets clearer, our tolerance for nonsense drops, and we finally start owning what we will and will not do with our time, energy, body, and brain. In this episode, Kim shares her personal "not gonna do it" list with humor and honesty. From refusing to diet and starve just to see a certain number on the scale, to breaking up with pants that dig into her waist, to officially retiring from kale, peppers, and uncomfortable shoes, this is a celebration of comfort, clarity, and self respect in midlife. She also talks about the deeper stuff, like not saying yes just to avoid making someone uncomfortable, not being the emotional life raft for everyone, and no longer apologizing for who she is. You will hear Kim talk about: ·       Why she refuses to diet, starve, or obsessively track every calorie at 59 ·       Her new rules for pants, jeans, and clothes that actually feel good on a midlife body ·       Why kale and peppers did not make the cut and how to build a healthy way of eating without forcing foods you hate ·       People pleasing, smiling on command, and no longer shrinking herself so others feel comfortable ·       Phone and text boundaries, bedtime rules, and why nighttime talking is a no ·       Saying no to loud, standing-room-only events, endless small talk, and group expectations that drain your energy ·       Letting go of the pressure to have a perfectly clean house while still creating a home that feels good ·       Claiming quiet time, alone time, hobbies, and things that bring simple joy (yes, including crocheting and reality TV) ·       Not overexplaining, not minimizing her needs, and learning to voice emotions without over sharing ·       The decision to stop apologizing for who she is after a lifetime of earning this version of herself Kim reminds you that your "not gonna do it" list is not negative or rebellious. It is about clarity. It is about finally knowing what works for you and what does not, and having the courage to honor that.

Jen is a holistic nutritional health coach and a powerful advocate for women navigating chronic illness, emotional healing, and midlife transformation. Together, we're sharing our own health journeys, the lessons we've learned through pain and healing, and the reason we created a brand-new community for women over 40, 50, and 60—the Cool Girl Collective. In this honest and heartfelt conversation, we share our sisterhood story, our different paths to healing, and the shared mission that unites us: helping women reclaim peace, power, and purpose in midlife. In This Episode Our sister story and how we reconnected through health coaching How chronic illness shaped Jen's mission to help women heal Why your body isn't broken, it's a messenger The connection between trauma, symptoms, and self-trust How emotional eating, restriction, and control show up in midlife The power of calming your nervous system for true healing Why we created the Cool Girl Collective and what it offers for midlife women A little humor, real talk, and some sisterly fun along the way About Jennifer Navara Jennifer Navara is the co-founder of The Cool Girl Collective and a Certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach who helps women in midlife heal from years of chronic illness, fatigue, and emotional exhaustion. After walking her own long road of illness and recovery, she discovered that true healing happens when we calm the nervous system, process stored emotions, and rebuild trust with the body. Her work blends compassion, intuition, and holistic guidance to help women feel safe, energized, and at peace within themselves. Jennifer's approach is about remembering your body's wisdom — not fighting against it. She believes midlife is not the end of something, but the beginning of coming home to who you truly are.
