Have you ever caught yourself saying, "You know me… I'll never say no to bread"?

Or maybe: "I was doing so well — until Friday night happened."

Or: "I really just need to lose 10 pounds. That's it. Just 10."

...even though you've been trying to lose that same 10 pounds for five years?

If that sounds familiar — if you've ever laughed it off on the outside but felt frustrated on the inside — this episode is for you.

Here's the truth: You're not weak. You're not undisciplined. And you're not too far gone.

You're just stuck in a system that was never designed to work for a woman like you — someone with a full life, a family to feed, a love for good food and good wine... and a body that doesn't respond the way it used to.

In this episode, you'll learn:

  • Why food rules always break down (especially for women over 40)
  • The real reason you keep "starting over Monday" (hint: it's not willpower)
  • How nightly wine became a habit instead of something special — and how to shift it
  • The Mostly/Sometimes/Rarely framework that creates lasting change without restriction
  • What changes when you stop following rules and start trusting yourself

This isn't about being perfect. It's about finding a rhythm that works for your real life.

If you're tired of starting over every Monday… if you're tired of feeling guilty every time you eat… if you're ready to finally feel at home in your body…
