This week on Live Your Best Midlife, I’m bringing you a big Life Lately update — the real, the funny, the chaotic and the heart-level parts of this season.

We’re talking deer camp, Thanksgiving, escaping cold weather, staying active in winter and how I’m learning to be a chill mom with my adult kids during the holidays.

In this episode, I share:

What it’s like feeding a house full of hungry guys, rolling straight into Thanksgiving prep, and the mindset that makes hosting easier in midlife.

The moment I saw snow in the forecast and said, “No thank you!” Packed up the dog and hit the road. My mood shift the second I hit sunshine was… dramatic.

My step count drops HARD in the winter, so I’m sharing practical ideas that actually help midlife women stay active when the temps plummet:

• Finding the warmest walk window

• Indoor movement “snacks”

• Indoor pickleball

• Using your walking pad

• Store laps (yes, Costco counts!)

• Group fitness like Zumba, step, spinning, and my personal favorite… hot yoga

This season looks different when your kids are grown. I talk about shifting traditions, letting go of expectations, not guilt-tripping your kids and why I’m choosing to be the chill, flexible mom. The relationship matters more than the date on the calendar.
