    🛋️ Episode #43 – Permission to Pivot: Why Slowing Down Is the Reset You Need in Midlife

    ✨What if the reason things feel harder lately isn’t because you’re doing something wrong...but because you’re using an outdated operating system for this season of life? ✨In this first episode of 2026, I’m sharing a very real, very imperfect moment - and why it became the exact message I was meant to deliver. This is a conversation about midlife, burnout, control, trust, and why slowing down (instead of pushing harder) may be the most powerful pivot you make this year. 🔑 WHAT WE COVER: Why the systems that used to work now create burnout and frustrationThe “good girl” patterns keeping high-achieving women stuckWhat it really means to loosen your grip without giving up on your goalsHow slowing down helps you update your personal operating systemWhy misalignment is data - not failureTrusting yourself (and something bigger) when plans fall apart👉 THIS WEEK’S ACTION STEP: Notice where you’re pushing out of habit instead of alignment. Choose one area this week to loosen your grip (just a little) and observe what shifts. 🗓️ SAVE THE DATE: Saturday, January 31, 10:30am-12:30pm, Old Tappan, NJ ✨The Midlife Reset 2026: An Exclusive In-Person Experience with Peace & Plenty©✨ 📩 Click HERE to get on my email list to get the link when it opens⬆ 🔗 SIGN UP FOR a FREE 1:1 Strategy Session with me HERE 🔔 SUBSCRIBE to get new episodes every Wednesday – your midweek reminder that you’re allowed to do life differently now ✨

  2. 💬 Episode 42: Ask Me Anything: GLP-1s, Daughter Wisdom & Real Midlife Talk

    12/17/2025

    💬 Episode 42: Ask Me Anything: GLP-1s, Daughter Wisdom & Real Midlife Talk

    📺 This week, I’m doing something a little lighter in the middle of a very heavy world: a totally unscripted Q&A where I answer YOUR questions in real time. 🎙️We talk about what I’ve learned from each of my daughters, the difference between being present and just sharing the same room, where I’m really at with my GLP-1 journey, my favorite midlife beauty and self-care staples, simple ways to give back this season, and one story I’ve never fully shared on the show before: the year I was paralyzed from the neck down at 7 years old and what it taught me about resilience. If you’re a busy midlife woman who’s tired of trying to do it all “perfectly” and just wants real talk about bodies, beauty, motherhood, giving back, and starting fresh in the new year…this one’s for you, friend. 🫶🏻 🔑 WHAT WE COVER: ➡ What I’ve learned from each of my three daughters (and how their ages shape it) ➡The powerful difference between being present and just sharing the same space ➡An honest update on my GLP-1 (Zepbound) journey—upsides, downsides, and why there’s no one-size-fits-all answer ➡My current favorite makeup, hair, skincare, fragrance, and why I still love cleaner beauty ➡Simple, meaningful ways to give back in your own community (and model your values for your kids) ➡A deeply personal story: being paralyzed at seven with Guillain-Barré syndrome and what it taught me about human resilience ➡How I’m thinking about the end of the year, gentle “resolutions,” and my upcoming Atomic Habits group coaching experience for midlife women 👉 THIS WEEK’S ACTION STEP: Take 5–10 minutes to reflect on three things: 1️⃣ What you’re ready to leave behind from this year 2️⃣ What you want to carry forward into 2026 3️⃣One tiny, sustainable habit you’re willing to experiment with in January (no all-or-nothing resolutions allowed) Write them down somewhere you’ll see them - your journal, Notes app, or even a post-it note on your bathroom mirror, so "Future You" has a gentler roadmap instead of another round of “new year, same burnout.” 🔗 Ready to make the changes you want finally LAST in 2026?

    ⏱️ Episode #41 - The Five-Minute Revolution: Why Tiny Habits Keep You From Burning Out

    What if you've been lied to about what it takes to care for yourself? 🤯 This episode is for every woman who thinks 5 minutes "doesn't count." I'm sharing the story of how rushing literally brought me to my knees in a parking lot - and how that injury followed me all the way to London & Paris. But more importantly, I'm walking you through the mindset shift that's helped me (and my clients) stop the burnout cycle without adding more to your plate.🚫 If you've been cutting self-care first when life gets full, or believing that anything less than an hour is a waste of time, this one's going to change how you show up for yourself. 🫶🏻 🔑 WHAT WE COVER: ➡ Why your nervous system needs consistency, not perfection The compounding interest of 5-minute habits (30+ hours per year!) ➡ How small movements build identity, not just intensity ➡ My personal story of falling (literally) and learning to slow down ➡ Practical 5-minute habits you can start today ➡ How to return when you miss a day (because you will) 👉 THIS WEEK'S ACTION STEP: Tell me what you're going to do each day (or most days - consistency is just showing up most days!). Take 5-7 days and intentionally say: "Here's what I'm doing to regulate my nervous system for 5/10/15 minutes." It could be stretching before coffee, a 10-minute walk, lighting a candle with two deep breaths, or sitting in stillness. Whatever fits YOUR schedule - it's highly personal and customizable. Share with me in the comments what you choose! ✍🏻 🔗 SIGN UP FOR a FREE Strategy Session with ME to learn more about how I can help you build these habits: https://peaceandplenty.as.me/freestrategysession  🔔 SUBSCRIBE to get new episodes every Wednesday - your midweek reminder that small, consistent actions build the life you're craving ✨

    👉 I pulled this interview out of the vault from my Midlife Mama Conference because right now—when everyone’s talking about “New Year, New You”—we need a different conversation. 📣 Registered Dietitian + Intuitive Eating Counselor, Sam Previte ‪@findfoodfreedom‬ of Find Food Freedom joins me to unpack why diets keep failing us, how to release food guilt, and what gentle nutrition really means for busy midlife women. 🔑 WHAT WE COVER: 🍽️ Why diets fail you (they’re designed to) 💭 The emotional toll of decades in diet culture 🍕 How to make peace with “forbidden” foods 🩺 What to say when doctors focus on your weight 👗 The "Comfort First, Style Second" closet try-on that rebuilds body trust 👉 THIS WEEK’S ACTION STEP: 1.

  5. 🚂 Episode #39: How to Return to Your Intention When the Day Goes Off the Rails

    11/26/2025

    🚂 Episode #39: How to Return to Your Intention When the Day Goes Off the Rails

    Last week, we talked about the 5-minute intention-setting practice. This week, we’re talking about the part no one teaches you: What do you do when the day derails and you lose the feeling you started with? Because here’s the truth: Setting the intention is powerful… But learning how to return to it throughout the day? That’s where the real transformation happens. Inside this episode, we walk through: ❗️The Reality Check Why it’s completely normal to snap, spiral, or disconnect — and why it’s not a personal failure. 🧠 The Gap Why there will always be space between the version of you you intended to be…and the version you are at 2pm after 47 interruptions. 🛠️ The 3 Tools That Bring You Back -The Micro Check-In (your 90-minute awareness reset) -The Pattern Interrupt (when you can feel yourself spiraling) -The Compassionate Witness (when you’ve already lost it) These practices are simple, practical, and made for real-life women who are carrying a lot — mentally, emotionally, and physically. They help you return to center without perfection, pressure, or shame. Pure Peace & Plenty. ✨ This Week’s Action Step Set your intention each morning (just like last week) AND choose 1 "return" strategy to try! Use it once this week when you feel yourself spiraling 🌀 Notice what shifts — not perfection, just awareness 🤍 You will lose your intention today. That’s not failure. That’s being human. The practice is in the returning.

    🎄 If you're already feeling the pressure building - the organizing, planning, shopping, coordinating, gift-giving, cooking, and showing up for everyone - this episode is your permission slip to do the holidays differently this year. I'm sharing the simple 5-minute morning practice that completely transformed how I show up during the chaos of the holiday season. No huge systems, no complicated routines...just one powerful intention-setting practice that shifts everything. 🔑 WHAT WE COVER: ➡ Why the words you speak to yourself in the morning set the tone for your entire day ➡ The exact 5-minute practice I use to stay grounded (even when things go sideways) ➡ How to answer "How do I want to feel today?" when you're not sure ➡ Examples of powerful daily intentions that actually work ➡ Why you can't control circumstances, but you CAN control your reaction ➡ How to create your own "Hallmark holiday" without the stress 👉 THIS WEEK'S ACTION STEP: Try the intention-setting practice! Before you do anything else in the morning (before coffee, before Wordle, before carpool) take 3 deep breaths and ask yourself: "How do I want to feel today?" Write it down and watch what shifts. 🔗 SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: I'm launching the "12 Days of Peace Holiday Toolkit" on Black Friday with a major sale‼️ Get on my email list to be the first to know:  https://alluring-fog-205.myflodesk.com/yhzh3my9c1  🔔 SUBSCRIBE for next week's episode where I'll share the strategies and tools to help you STAY in that intentional state all day long—even when life happens. 🧘🏼‍♀️

    🧘🏼‍♀️ Episode 37: Self-Care for Busy Midlife Moms — 10-Minute Breathwork, Car Meditations & Reiki

    🔑 WHAT WE COVER: If your to-do list never ends and your peace always ends up last, this conversation is your reset. In this throwback convo with yoga teacher and Reiki master Thara Natalie, we get wildly practical about finding calm in real life—aka between pick-ups, meetings, and the never-ending mental load.  You’ll learn simple, guilt-free ways to prioritize yourself (yes, in 10–15 minutes) so you can walk into the week with more clarity, energy, and ease—without adding another complicated routine to your plate. We’ll talk about: ✔ Micro-rituals that fit your day: 10–15 minute meditations you can do in your car, on a walk, or at your desk ✔ Breathwork that actually helps: the easy 4-4-4 pattern to downshift stress fast ✔ Reiki 101: what it is, how virtual sessions work, and why energy blocks can show up as body signals (hello, “knee wisdom”) ✔ Letting go of good-girl guilt: taking a class, a nap, or even a solo trip—on purpose ✔ Sound as medicine: a short sound-bowl moment to reset your nervous system ✔ Redefining balance: why “perfect” isn’t the goal—peace is 👉 THIS WEEK’S ACTION STEP: Pick one 10-minute window you already have (carpool line, parking lot, between calls). Put “Car Calm: 4-4-4” in your calendar daily for the next 5 days. Hand on heart, hand on belly. Inhale 4 • hold 4 • exhale 4, for 10 minutes. Notice: clearer head, softer shoulders, calmer choices. Bonus: if your mind wanders, don’t make a story—just come back to your breath. 🎯 A FREE Peace & Plenty Strategy Session to create a simple, feel-good self-care plan that fits your actual life (not someone else’s rules) and keeps you accountable when the week gets loud → https://peaceandplenty.as.me/freestrategysession 🔔 SUBSCRIBE to get new episodes every week… your reminder that peace beats perfection—especially on the busiest days. **You can find Thara at https://www.instagram.com/tharanatalie/

    💼 Episode #36 Dream Jobs & Real Lives: Career Transitions for Midlife Moms + Their 20-Somethings

    🤔 When was the last time you paused to ask, “What do I actually want to do next?” ✨ In this powerful conversation, I sit down with sisters Marissa and Jamie -recruiters turned career strategists and co-founders of The Dreamcatchers© -to talk about the messy, meaningful reality of career transitions for women in midlife and the twenty-something kids they’re cheering on. We cover it all—from re-entering the workforce after years away to helping recent grads land that first “real” job (without losing their confidence or your sanity). The Dreamcatchers share how job searching today is less about résumés and more about relationships, why there’s never a perfect time to make a change, and how every phase of life (yes, even parenting and volunteering) can translate into valuable, marketable skills. Whether you’re a mom in transition or a mentor helping your college grad find their path, this episode is packed with guidance, validation, and practical next steps for both generations. 🔑 WHAT WE COVER: 📌Why job search support should be as common as college counseling 📌The mindset shift women need to re-enter the workforce confidently 📌How networking beats the black hole of online applications every time 📌Helping your twenty-something navigate their first job search without taking over 📌Letting go of prestige and finding purpose in your next chapter 👉 THIS WEEK’S ACTION STEP: Identify one person in your network—old colleague, friend, or parent connection—and send a genuine message to reconnect. Relationships are the true résumé 🙌🏻 💬 A Little Heads-Up❗️ Yes, I know this show is called Peace & Plenty "in 20"… but this one clocks in more than double 😬. What can I say? When the conversation’s this good, you don’t cut it short. Think of it as Peace & Plenty: The Director’s Cut. And I think it's worth every minute! 🎬 📞 Connect with Marissa & Jamie here: 📧 hi@thedreamcatchers.life  👩🏼‍💻 https://www.thedreamcatchers.life/contact.html  📱https://www.instagram.com/__thedreamcatchers  🔔 SUBSCRIBE to get new episodes every week — your reminder that you’re not behind; you’re just beginning again, this time on your own terms. ✨
