In this episode, we’re tackling one of the most common struggles I hear about from women in midlife: sugar cravings.

You know how it goes...
You’re eating well, staying on track, and then — boom — that afternoon slump hits.
Chocolate starts calling your name, and suddenly you’re knee-deep in biscuits, wondering what happened.

But here’s the truth: It's not your willpower.
Cravings don’t mean you’re weak or failing — they’re a signal, and in today’s episode, I’m helping you decode what they’re really telling you.

  • The real reasons behind sugar cravings (and no, it’s not just lack of willpower)

  • 10 realistic hacks to satisfy your sweet tooth without blowing your calorie target

  • The mindset shifts that take you from all-or-nothing to progress-with-compassion
