Description

What if I told you September is actually the best time of year to lean into your health, wellness, and fitness goals?

Seriously. We’re talking about a season that’s naturally more structured, predictable, and calm. This is your chance to ride the “back-to-school effect” and actually get goals accomplished!

In this episode, we're going to dive into why ditching the New Year's Resolution mindset and adopting a September goal-setting strategy will change everything for you.

We'll uncover how the back-to-school season provides the perfect environment for creating new habits, and how to use that to your advantage so you can start the new year with a running start.

Here’s what we’ll cover in this episode:

• The truth about why January is a terrible time for new habits and how it sets you up for failure.

• The surprising reason your nervous system loves the predictability of the back-to-school season.

• The simple method that allows you to cook one healthy, family-friendly meal, so you don't have to cook two separate dinners.

• How to finally master your schedule and use your kids' after-school activities as a secret weapon for your own self-care.

It's time to ditch the "I'll start in the new year" mentality and finally get some momentum. This is a game-changer for every busy, midlife mom who wants to feel in control of her health and life.
