Snack It Like You Mean It
"You’re not burned out or behind — you’ve just outgrown the old version of you."
Coconut Yogurt Berry Parfait with Glow-Up Power
This ain’t your average office snack, friend.
This is a “you deserve better than stale crackers and burnout” kind of snack. It’s loaded with gut-friendly probiotics, fiber, and just enough sweetness to make you feel like the goddess you are — not a gremlin hunched over a desk.
Here’s how to whip up your Midlife Glow-Up Parfait in 2 minutes or less:
Ingredients:
½ cup unsweetened coconut yogurt (hello, probiotics)
A handful of mixed berries (blueberries = brain food!)
1 tbsp chia seeds (for that omega-3 goodness)
A sprinkle of grain-free granola or crushed walnuts
Drizzle of raw honey or cinnamon (optional sass)
Layer it up in a glass, take a fancy spoon, and eat it like you’re not answering emails.
Midlife Mojo Moment
Gut Check, Gorgeous
You know the drill:
You show up. You Zoom. You survive the inbox. You rinse and repeat.
But something inside? Feels… flat.
That’s not laziness. That’s your inner fire whispering,
“Girl, this can’t be it.”
Feeling stuck shows up like:
Chronic “meh” in meetings
Clock-watching by 10 a.m.
You fantasize more about quitting than vacation
You forgot the last time you felt proud of your work
Sound familiar? Then you’re not just stuck.
Where in your life are you ignoring what your body’s whispering... because you’re too busy proving you're “fine”?
Midlife isn’t the time to push through fatigue, fog, or bloat like it's a badge of honor. It's the time to listen in — and treat yourself like someone worth showing up for. Because guess what? You are.
If your gut’s been cranky, your energy’s been tanking, or your brain feels like it’s buffering…
you don’t need more caffeine.
You need more compassion.
Here’s your permission slip:
Stop skipping lunch to answer emails
Say no to crap that clutters your plate — figuratively and literally
Let your body guide you, not guilt
Because grace > grind. Every damn time.
You've Got This, Now Go Do That
Name it. Say it out loud: I feel stuck. Awareness is step one.
Do one thing. Find a course. DM a mentor. Say yes to growth.
