Ever find yourself standing at life's crossroads, overwhelmed by the buffet of choices laid out before you? Joining us on this journey through the labyrinth of decision-making is the insightful Kimberly Mathis, who pivoted her career from therapy to coaching.
Now, she's here to guide us with her lantern of wisdom. We kick things off by dissecting decision fatigue, those sneakily impactful choices that shape our daily routines, and the significance of aligning our actions with our deepest values—even when life throws us curveballs.
If you've ever felt the weight of societal expectations crushing your health and fitness goals, you'll find solace and strategy in our candid discussion. We tackle the cultural pressures women face, urging us to play multifaceted roles while maintaining an often unrealistic health regimen.
Together, we uncover how to redefine success on a personal level and discuss why neurodivergent individuals might face distinct challenges in crafting new habits. And remember, when your lofty aims and reality clash, it's compassion, not criticism, that's your true north star.

In a special segment, we contrast therapy and coaching, offering insights for those pondering which path might best escort them on their personal development journey—because when it comes to shaping the life you want, the compass of change is in your hands.

If you’re a woman in midlife who wants better health without obsessing over weight, you’re in the right place. I’m Elizabeth Sherman, a life and health coach and host of the Total Health in Midlife Podcast.
After coaching hundreds of women, I know the real problem usually isn’t “not enough information” – it’s too much of it, and not knowing where to start. With close to 300 episodes, this show can feel that way too.
To make it easy, I created a free Listener’s Roadmap that helps you figure out which episodes are right for you right now. Tell me what you’re struggling with – low energy, emotional eating, stress, sleep, exercise, or all of the above – and I’ll point you to a curated path of episodes and resources to get you moving.
