    Would you like to start your own online business and learn high income skills?  You can get the information from either one of us here: https://www.midlifemarketingmentor.com/ https://www.digitalkimblueprint.com/   What happens when you’ve done everything “right” but still find yourself stressed, exhausted, and without a retirement fund? In this honest and empowering conversation, Kim and 4 time returning guest Jessica Mitchell (a longtime health coach turned digital marketing mentor) open up about the financial realities many women over 50 face and the emotional toll that comes with it. Together, they share their personal stories of burnout, failed side hustles, and the pressure of chasing clients in the coaching industry. They dive into why financial stress is a real health issue and how it affects sleep, mood, and relationships. Most importantly, they discuss how learning new digital skills has helped them regain time, income, and hope for the future. This isn’t about shame or hustle. It’s about permission…to rest, to pivot, to learn something new, and to build financial stability in midlife without sacrificing your health or your peace. Whether you’re a health coach, teacher, caregiver, or simply tired of the nine-to-five grind, this episode will inspire you to think differently about what’s possible for your midlife years. Episode Highlights How Kim and Jessica went from health coaching to digital marketing and why it felt like a natural pivot. The hidden cost of financial stress on midlife women’s health, relationships, and mental wellbeing. Why so many women feel embarrassed about money struggles and how to release that shame. The difference between network marketing and true digital marketing (and why this distinction matters). What “attraction marketing” really means and how it creates income without chasing or pressuring people. The power of owning your time, working fewer hours, and still building a sustainable business. The importance of community, mentorship, and learning new skills in a changing economy. Why it’s not lazy to want freedom—it’s healthy. About Jessica Mitchell Jessica Mitchell is a longtime Health Coach and EFT Tapping Practitioner who now helps midlife women step into the digital world with confidence. After two decades in the wellness space, she knows what it’s like to love what you do yet crave more financial stability and flexibility. Drawing from her experience as both a coach and entrepreneur, Jessica teaches women how to build online income streams by mastering digital marketing and online business fundamentals in a way that fits their season of life.

    124. Stop Emotional Eating Through Life Transitions

    Get the FREE Tapping Video to Stop the Late Day Emotional Eating. Click here: https://kimhynes.com/late-day-emotional-eating-tapping-video Transitions can be tough. Menopause, empty nest, retirement, moving, or even grief can shake the ground beneath us. When life feels uncertain, food often becomes the one place we turn for comfort and safety. In this solo episode, Kim explores why emotional eating shows up so strongly during life changes, how it ties back to safety and stability, and what you can do to navigate these seasons with love and grace. Kim shares personal reflections and client stories to remind you that you are not alone in this. She also offers practical tools to create real safety in your body and mind without relying on food. If you have been eating your way through change, this episode will help you pause, breathe, and rebuild stability from the inside out. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: Why transitions trigger emotional eating The role of safety and stability in our relationship with food How menopause and midlife changes affect cravings and body trust The emotional weight of transitions: loss, fear, and loneliness Why we often forget to give ourselves love and grace during change Practical tools for riding the waves without relying on food How to build a “Transition Safety Toolkit” with rituals, grounding, and connection Highlights: ·       Food feels safe because it is predictable, but safety is something we can create in our bodies and minds. ·       Menopause is not just physical. It is an identity transition. If my body is changing, can I still feel safe living in it? ·       During transitions, we do not always realize how much we are carrying. That is why we forget to give ourselves love and grace. ·       Safety is not about control. It is about trust. Trusting yourself to move through change with compassion.

    Get the FREE Tapping Video to Stop the Late Day Emotional Eating. Click here: https://kimhynes.com/late-day-emotional-eating-tapping-video In this special end-of-summer episode, I’m reflecting on my recent vacation, my 59th birthday, and how we can all bring that vacation peace into our everyday lives without having to wait for the next trip. As we head into fall, I share how shifting seasons can be the perfect opportunity for a personal reset for your emotional and physical life. You’ll hear about my time in Wisconsin…paddleboarding, long walks, less TV, more nature, and truly being in the moment.  You’ll hear how those simple changes impacted my body, mind, and spirit. We’ll explore how vacations naturally slow us down, help us eat when we’re hungry (instead of by the clock), sleep better, and be more intentional. Most importantly, we’ll talk about how to bring those rhythms home so we can feel less stressed, more present, and at peace year-round. From letting go of forcing outcomes whether with our adult kids, friendships, or work to choosing movement because we can (not because we “have to”), this is about creating a life that feels free, not like a to-do list. In this episode, you’ll discover: Why novelty and new experiences keep your brain sharp at any age The surprising impact of slowing down on digestion, inflammation, and energy How vacation rhythms can inspire more mindful eating and movement Why waking without an alarm and starting with gratitude changes everything Simple ways to create peace, pause, and presence in your daily life You don’t have to wait for the next getaway to feel at ease—you can create that rhythm now. What vacation moments can you bring home?  Reach out and let me know. Here’s to 59—and to whatever age you are—living fully, intentionally, and with peace every day.
