Episode 88: Maycember Survival for Midlife Moms

If you hear the word “Maycember” and you laugh and cry at the same time, this episode is for you. The craziness of all.the.things this month, plus your body is already doing its perimenopause thing on top of it. So how do you actually get through this month with your energy, patience, and sanity intact?

In this episode of The Family Fork, I’m sharing my best practices from 23 years of mom life for surviving Maycember without abandoning your health and wellness routines. (And if you don’t have a routine yet, I’m showing you how to get started today with every little time and energy!)

We’re talking about the two big moves that are going to change how this month feels. Plus, I’m walking you through my own three non-negotiables, exactly how I make each of them easy in May, and what it can look like if you’re starting from scratch this week.

I’m also sharing the free Maycember Survival Guide for Midlife Moms that includes all of the resources mentioned in this episode.

What you’ll learn:

– Why Maycember hits midlife moms harder than younger moms (hint: your hormones are to blame)
– The exact time-blocking method I use to turn my calendar into a stress-reducing to-do list
– How to decide your one or two daily non-negotiables and why this is the foundation for everything else
– Why anti-inflammatory eating matters more in May than any other month (and how to start with one meal a day)
– My smartwatch hack for getting in 100 ounces of water without sipping all day
