February doesn’t need to feel dramatic to be powerful.

The New Year buzz has settled.
Life is busy again.
Motivation isn’t as loud.

And this is exactly where progress is built.
Not in extremes.
Not in detoxes.
Not in starting over every Monday.

For 35+ women results come from:

✅ regular balanced meals

✅ high protein breakfasts

✅ fibre and colour with every meal

✅ regular movement

✅ quality sleep

✅ less all-or-nothing thinking

It’s not flashy.
It’s steady.

And steady builds trust with your body again.

February is where habits quietly stack up — and confidence follows.

If you’re choosing consistency this month, this is your reminder 💖

We often think of skin care as what we put on our skin which is important...but that's not all!

Real skin confidence?
It starts from within ✨

Inside the Women’s Wellbeing Reset, we focus on supporting your body from the inside out — nourishing meals, gut support, balanced blood sugars, stress management, hydration, sleep and sustainable habits.

This week in our Women’s Wellbeing Wisdom session, we’re diving into 'Skin Care for Skin Confidence' with Kaylie Harrison from the Ivy Clinic — combining internal nourishment with external skin expertise.

That’s what makes this approach different.
It’s not just weight loss.
It’s not just food.

It’s a whole-body, whole-woman approach to feeling confident in your body & skin 💕

Let's get our mid-life glow on! ✨🙌

Chronic stress impacts hormones, appetite, gut health and sleep.

But here’s what we don’t talk about enough…

If your nervous system is constantly in fight-or-flight, your body isn’t focused on fat loss — it’s focused on survival.

Supporting your nervous system is an important part of sustainable weight loss.

Here are a few ways to gently start lowering your stress levels:

✨ Breath work – 5 minutes of deep diaphragmatic breathing (inhale 4, exhale 6) to signal safety to your body
✨ Strength training – builds resilience and improves insulin sensitivity (powerful for stress hormones)
✨ Gentle movement – walking outdoors lowers cortisol and improves mood
✨ Sleep boundaries – consistent wind-down routine, screens off earlier, protect your bedtime
✨ Regular meals – skipping meals can be a stressor too
✨ Social connection – call a friend or arrange a catch up with someone who fills your bucket - laughter, hugs & connection regulate your nervous system
✨ Sunlight in the morning – helps regulate your circadian & cortisol rhythms
✨ Journaling, 'brain-dumping', or list writing – reduce mental load instead of carrying it in your head, adding to the overwhelm
✨ Learning to say no – boundaries are stress management

You don’t need all of these.
Start with focusing on one or two.

Weight loss doesn’t just happen in the gym or the kitchen.

It happens when your body feels safe and calm, with nourishing meals and movement.

There's nothing better than that feeling of a delicious satisfying meals that ticks all the boxes!

Be sure to include:
✨ Protein e.g lean meat, fish, chicken (enough to provide at least 30 g of protein)
✨ Lots of colourful veg - the more colours & variety the better 🌈🙌
✨ Healthy fats e.g nuts, seeds, avocado, olive oil or some delicious cheese
✨ Optional to include a portion of non-refined carbs that add fibre e.g kumara, pumpkin, potato or quinoa

And you will dance your way through the day! 💃🎉

If your weight is creeping up, particularly around your middle, hormones may be playing a role.

Perimenopause affects insulin sensitivity, muscle mass and fat storage — meaning your body needs a different approach now.

So often I hear from ladies I work with that "I'm doing what I've always done" or "what used to work"..."but it's not working anymore".

As your body changes during perimenopause & post-menopause the way you fuel & nourish your body should change too if you want to feel you best in your 40's, 50's & beyond.

You’re not broken - your hormones are changing & that means doing things a bit different to feel your best.

My Women's Wellbeing Reset is designed to support 35+ women to feel energised & confident in their bodies while nurturing your gut health AND enjoying tasty satisfying meals 🙌 🩷

Diets don’t last. A sustainable approach should feel satisfying, flexible and enjoyable.

That’s why women say “it doesn’t feel like a diet… but I’m losing weight.”

If dieting hasn’t worked for you, this approach is different 🩷
