    Plan Your Year in November + 10 More Ways I'm Romanticizing My Job

    Send Jax a text! Do you know what your next 12 months really look like? Not the dream version. The real one. In episode 105, I'm showing you how to plan your whole year in early November, before the holiday rush, and why January is the worst time to do it. You'll learn my 5 levels of planning (annual, quarterly, monthly, weekly, and daily), a 7-step plan for your bigger goals, and how to count your real weeks so you stop planning for time you don't have. Then, in the second half, I share 10 more ways I'm romanticizing my corporate job, plus a 7-day challenge to make your workdays feel more like yours. Soft life at work. Strong plan for your money. You get to have both. With love and confidence, Jax. Part 1: Plan your time Plan your year in early November, not January. You can still see your real year. Then review it in January so the new year feels gentle.Use 5 levels of planning. Annual (early November), quarterly (7 to 9 days before the quarter), monthly (about 4 days before the month), weekly (once a week), and daily (the night before).Check your year-at-a-glance before saying yes to any big request.Plan big goals in 7 steps. Pick your end date, see what's already booked, set realistic milestones, list specific actions, put them on your weekly calendar, and check in often.Count your real weeks. Subtract holiday weeks, events, travel and weekend commitments from the calendar weeks you think you have.Live within your time means. Do a one-week time audit, make trade-offs, and keep a time emergency fund for surprise tasks.White space isn't free time. It hides buffer time, catch-up time, recurring tasks and personal time.Plan for reality, not perfection. Plan like a pilot: expect bumps and keep flying toward your destination.Don't let planning become procrastination. You're allowed to change your plan.Don't dump carry-over tasks onto next Monday. Give each one a real home on a real day.Part 2: 10 more ways I'm romanticizing my corporate job I wake up at 4 AM for my own self-care.My leather-bound planner and matching journal.I celebrate my coworkers with my own congrats email.Money and growth mindset audiobooks and podcasts all day.Real breaks, including a full one-hour lunch.Pretty pens, blue ink only, with pastel highlighters and Post-its.A Charleston coffee table book on my desk.A little mirror in my desk drawer.A candy dish for my coworkers.I use AI to work smarter, and I pitch ideas every week.Your 7-day challenge and quick-start steps Romanticize your workday, round two. Pick one a day: Day 1: Wake up 30 minutes earlier and spend that time on you.Day 2: Plan your day in a planner or journal you love.Day 3: Send a congrats email to a coworker who did a great job.Day 4: Swap your music for a money or growth mindset podcast.Day 5: Take two walking breaks and a few fresh air breaks.Day 6: Treat yourself to a pen or highlighters that make you smile.Day 7: Use AI for one task, then write down one idea to make work better.Your planning quick start, before next Monday: Write down everything you've already said yes to for the next 12 months on one calendar.Count your real weeks left in 2026.Pick one day from the challenge and start tomorrow.Resources and connect with Jax The Midlife GlowGetter blog: jaxstys.comFree Glow Assessment: [JAX: add the direct link here]Last week's episode, 11 ways I'm romanticizing my corporate job: [JAX: add the episode link here]Part one on the wealth shift for women: [JAX: add the episode link here]Loved this episode?

    Stop Chasing The Scale - Weight Goals That Actually Improve Your Life

    Send Jax a text! What if your weight goal wasn’t really a number at all? In this episode, Jax shares how she went from 431 pounds to down over 200, and why at 47 she stopped letting the scale decide her mood. She talks about her goal of 145, why how she feels will tell her when she’s arrived, and the real wins no scale can show: climbing stairs, walking whole cities on vacation, sleeping through the night, and feeling feminine in her clothes again. She’s honest about being on a plateau right now and still pushing forward. You’ll leave with a simple exercise to define your own health goals beyond the scale. In this episode: 3 affirmations to glow up your dayWhere Jax started: 431 pounds and a goal number she made up in her headWhy daily weigh-ins stopped being healthy for her at 47The question that changed everything: “When in my past did I feel my best?”Her goal of 145, and why the feeling is the real finish lineWhen the scale didn’t move but she was winning, and when it moved but she felt terrible10 non-scale wins, from climbing stairs to sitting in regular chairsThe emotional rollercoaster of major weight loss, and what it taught herHer longevity “why”: living strong to 90-plus and staying self-reliantYour turn: writing your health and wellness goals beyond the scaleYour action step this week: Write down every health and wellness goal you have except the number on the scale. Some questions to start with: How do you want to feel when you wake up?How much energy do you want at 3 in the afternoon?What do you want your body to be able to do?How do you want to sleep?What do you want your life to look like at 70, 80, and 90?When in your past did you feel your best?Use that list as your guide. Let the scale be one data point, not the boss. Favorite line: “The scale gets a vote, but it doesn’t get the final word.” Connect with Jax: Website: jaxstys.comInstagram, TikTok, Threads, Facebook, and Pinterest: @jaxstysNewsletter: The Midlife GlowGetter with Jax (sign up at jaxstys.com)Send Jax a message with one goal from your list that has nothing to do with the scale.

    Self-Care Is Nonnegotiable in Midlife

    Send Jax a text! Your life is full, your responsibilities are real, and your energy isn’t unlimited. So when self-care gets treated like a “nice to have,” it’s only a matter of time before burnout shows up as brain fog, short tempers, restless sleep, and that exhausted feeling that rest doesn’t fix. We’re drawing a hard line: self-care in midlife is not a luxury. It’s maintenance. We start with three affirmations to help you drop the guilt and remember that your body and mind deserve your time, energy, and attention. Then we get practical with a simple meditation rhythm you can do right in bed, including a morning intention focused on how you want to feel and an evening reflection to help you wind down. If you’re navigating perimenopause, menopause symptoms, mood swings, or sleep changes, this kind of nervous system support can be a game changer for stress management and emotional wellness. From there, we lay out the strategy that makes self-care stick: time blocking. We talk about building a week that includes workouts, walks, journaling, reading, skincare, social time, meal prep, and true rest, then protecting those blocks like meetings you can’t reschedule. You’ll also hear a clear breakdown of the different types of self-care so you’re not only “doing more,” you’re caring for the parts of your life that actually need support. Press play, pick one self-care block to schedule this week, and protect it. If it helps, share this with a friend and leave a review so more midlife women can find us and build a stronger season together.
