Why do your healthy habits feel so easy in the summer… and so impossible by October?
In this episode of Total Health in Midlife, I'm unpacking a surprisingly overlooked reason your motivation disappears when the seasons change—and what to do instead of blaming yourself.
You'll hear how weather, light, mood, and routine can quietly hijack your habits unless you plan for them, and how understanding your own seasonal patterns can help you feel more consistent, confident, and in control—all year long.
Whether you're eating lighter and walking more right now, or already dreading the colder months ahead, this episode will help you spot the patterns before they sabotage your progress.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN
Why motivation isn't the problem (and what is)
How to create habits that adapt with the seasons, not collapse under them
Simple strategies to prepare for dips in energy and mood before they happen

Hey! I love hearing from you. Send me a text. Let me know what resonated with you.
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.
