If you’ve ever felt like you’re either totally “on” with your habits…or suddenly way “off” and telling yourself you’ll just start again Monday...this episode is going to feel like a deep breath.

In today’s conversation, we’re unpacking why the all-or-nothing mindset is so common for women in their late 30s, 40s, and 50s+, and why it has far more to do with physiology than perfection or willpower.

I’m sharing a personal story from my figure-competition days (hello, chicken-and-broccoli season followed by chocolate-cake season 😅)…and how that pattern showed up again later in life until I finally understood what was happening under the surface.

Inside this episode, we walk through:

• Why your nervous system gravitates toward extremes when cortisol is high
• How unstable blood sugar pulls you into cravings, impulsive decisions, and “start over tomorrow” thinking
• Why perimenopause and menopause make all-or-nothing feel even stickier
• The 3 biggest lies women believe about consistency, and how each one keeps you stuck
• What actually works: simple, steady rhythms that support your hormones and your real life

And because this is the Nourish to Thrive Podcast, we also bring it back to truth:
God never asked you for perfection...He asked you for presence.
Small, faithful steps compound. Extremes don’t.

If you’re craving a healthier, steadier way to care for your body…this episode is for you.
