[00:00:00] Emily Field: If the holidays feel harder for you now than they did a decade ago, you're not imagining it. Over on the Macros Made Easy Midlife edition private podcast feed. I just released a brand new episode called Your Midlife Holiday Survival Kit, and it breaks down exactly why this season hits differently as you get older and what to do about it.

[00:00:17] Emily Field: Inside the episode, I talk about how the holidays collide with a phase of life where your responsibilities are heavier, your schedule is busier. Your stress bucket fills faster and your body simply does not respond the same way it did in your twenties. You may be juggling aging parents, teenagers, big work responsibilities, disrupted sleep shifting hormones, more emotional labor, and all the expectations that come with hosting, gifting, planning, remembering and holding everything together.

[00:00:45] Emily Field: So the episode walks you through a five pillar survival kit designed specifically for this season of life, not some generic checklist from a magazine and not diet culture wrapped in a sparkly bow. We go deep into creating a holiday plan that studies you instead of overwhelms you flexible holiday nutrition that supports your goals without pulling you out of your life.

[00:01:07] Emily Field: Minimum effective workouts that help you maintain your strength and metabolism. How to handle the diet talk, body comments, and triggering conversations that show up around holiday tables and the boundaries midlife women often desperately need, maybe for the first time in their lives. This episode is honest, validating, and full of practical coaching tools that you can use immediately.

[00:01:28] Emily Field: So if you've ever hit January, feeling like you're starting from zero, this episode explains why and how to make this year look and feel completely different. So if you're a woman in your forties or fifties and you've been feeling like the main macros meet, easy feed is helpful, but you want deeper support that speaks directly to your midlife physiology and your midlife reality.

[00:01:47] Emily Field: The private Midlife edition feed is where those conversations are happening. So go check out the new episode. It's waiting for you over there.
