New Year’s resolutions often fail in menopause because the usual January diet rules ignore sleep disruption, stress load, cravings, and decision fatigue. In this episode, coaches Juli and James share a calmer January framework for women 40+ and a simple mini reset you can try this week.

In this episode:

  • The January trap and why urgency backfires
  • Menopause reality check: sleep, stress, appetite, energy
  • Why all-or-nothing rules fail and what works better
  • The missing ingredient: support and accountability
  • A simple January framework for women 40+
  • The 7-day Anchor Meal challenge
