You said you’d do it differently this year. You’d lose the weight, feel confident at the pool, finally not need a cover-up. And here you are, a few weeks out from summer, in another fitting room, in another swimsuit you can’t even imagine wearing in public. If that loop sounds familiar, this episode is for you.

In this episode, I’m getting honest about something I’ve skirted around on this podcast for a long time: the very real desire to feel confident in a swimsuit this summer. I see so many of my students (and so many of you!) landing in that exhausted, defeated thought of "it’s too late", "I’ve let myself go", "I’ll just stay in my cover-up".

I’m walking you through exactly why your brain lets this keep happening, what your nervous system is actually doing in those moments, and the both/and approach that finally breaks the loop. Plus, I’m sharing the story of one of my students who lost 4 pounds right before summer, even with a chaotic work trip in the middle of her first few weeks inside the Perimenopause Weight Loss Method.

What You’ll Learn

• Why your brain tells you it’s too late and how that keeps you stuck in the same loop year after year
• The thought-feeling cycle that signals your nervous system it isn’t safe to make changes right now (and what to do instead)
• The both/and approach to summer: how to hold acceptance and the belief that you can change at the same time
• Why high-achieving women resist acceptance the most, and the specific reframe that finally lets it land
• Real, doable changes you can make in the next few weeks that actually move the needle in midlife

If you hear the word "Maycember" and you laugh and cry at the same time, this episode is for you. The craziness of all.the.things this month, plus your body is already doing its perimenopause thing on top of it. So how do you actually get through this month with your energy, patience, and sanity intact?

In this episode of The Family Fork, I'm sharing my best practices from 23 years of mom life for surviving Maycember without abandoning your health and wellness routines. (And if you don't have a routine yet, I’m showing you how to get started today with every little time and energy!)

We're talking about the two big moves that are going to change how this month feels. Plus, I'm walking you through my own three non-negotiables, exactly how I make each of them easy in May, and what it can look like if you're starting from scratch this week.

I’m also sharing the free Maycember Survival Guide for Midlife Moms that includes all of the resources mentioned in this episode.

What you'll learn:

• Why Maycember hits midlife moms harder than younger moms (hint: your hormones are to blame)
• The exact time-blocking method I use to turn my calendar into a stress-reducing to-do list
• How to decide your one or two daily non-negotiables and why this is the foundation for everything else
• Why anti-inflammatory eating matters more in May than any other month (and how to start with one meal a day)
• My smartwatch hack for getting in 100 ounces of water without sipping all day

You've been here before. You've lost some weight, you're feeling good, making progress — and then life happens. Your schedule changes. Your kid needs more support. You go on vacation. And suddenly, all that progress starts to slip away.

Getting results is one thing. Keeping them? That's where most women end up blaming themselves when the wheels fall off.

This is the fourth and final episode of my Spring Into Summer series, and it brings everything together. We've covered mindset (Episode 1), anti-inflammatory nutrition (Episode 2), and why lifting heavy beats cardio (Episode 3).

Now we're talking about the piece that actually makes it all stick: maintenance.

I'm sharing the framework I've used to maintain my own results through conditions that are less than ideals. And I'm walking you through how to build your own non-negotiables, where to allow flexibility, and what to do the moment you fall off track (hint: you don't need to wait until Monday).

What You'll Learn
📌 Why most programs fail you at the maintenance stage, and what's actually missing
📌 The difference between motivation and identity
📌 How to identify your non-negotiables vs. where you can be flexible
📌 How to write an identity statement that keeps you on track all summer — and beyond
