Description

What if the major roadblocks hindering your progress are not your capabilities but the myths surrounding goal-setting you've subscribed to? Join me, as we debunk common misconceptions about goal setting, especially those that might be wreaking havoc in your midlife transition. 

Together, we'll uncover the truths and reshape our perspective towards setting goals - those that are not only achievable but also fulfilling. Let's move away from the overwhelming belief of making sweeping changes all at once or solely relying on willpower, and instead, focus on making small yet sustainable changes that harmonize with your current life situation.

Are you ready to challenge the widely held beliefs that often trap us in a cycle of frustration and disappointment? Tune in as I share insights and practical strategies for setting goals that align with who you are and the unique circumstances of your life. 

I explore the importance of setting realistic goals, the power of baby steps, and the necessity of understanding your current life circumstances in setting goals. We're not just debunking myths but empowering you to make meaningful strides in your journey toward lasting success. 

Remember, this journey is not a race, and your goals are yours alone, so they should resonate with you, not some societal norms or expectations. So, let's rise above the fog of misconceptions and set a clear path toward our true desires!

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.
