This week I sat down with Justin Hai, the guy who basically said "yeah… stress is the villain in your midlife story" and then wrote a whole book proving it.

Spoiler: he's right.

We dig into:
• Why cortisol is out here acting like a drama queen
• The sleep-stress-hormone Bermuda Triangle making belly fat stick around
• How tech is low-key ruining your metabolism
• The truth about hot flashes that'll make you rethink what's really "stressful"
• Why weights beat cardio every damn time
• How to set yourself up for a night of actual sleep, instead of scrolling your soul away

Plus, Justin shares what REALLY works for calming that buzzing nervous system without giving up your phone forever or moving to a cave.

If you've ever said "this is just my life now"… listen up. It's not.

5 Days To Slay The Holidays https://kimbarnesjefferson.lpages.co/5-days-slay-holiday

You know that "I'll start fresh in January" energy? Yeah… I'm calling BS on that. In this episode, it's time to break up with that New Year hype and showing you how to start your comeback now, right in the middle of the messy, cookie-filled, pre-holiday chaos.

Because here's the truth: dates don't create change—reflection does.

• Why waiting for January 1st keeps us stuck in the same "start-over" cycle

• The 3-step year-end reset I use with my clients: Review. Reset. Reimagine.

• How to build boring but bulletproof consistency that actually lasts past February

• The real difference between "motivation" and "momentum" (and why one's a trap)

• My REPS method—Realistic, Excited, Planned, Sustainable—for creating habits that fit your actual life

• Why chasing six-week miracles never works and what to do instead

If your workouts feel like punishment, your meal plan feels like a spreadsheet, and your "New Year, New Me" energy always crashes by President's Day, this episode is your wake-up call. I'm keeping it real, funny, and relatable while showing you how to ditch the pressure, stop waiting for perfect, and start stacking small wins right now.

Take a real look at what worked this year and what didn't. Celebrate your small wins (yes, they count), then pick one to three boring-but-doable habits to carry through the holidays. This is how you stop being the women who disappears by February and become the woman who's still showing up strong in May.

Check out my free "Slay the Season Without Losing Your Sh*t" 5-day audio series, it's bite-sized coaching to help you enjoy the holidays without starting over. https://kimbarnesjefferson.lpages.co/5-days-slay-holiday
And don't miss my free Live Q&A on November 19th, no scripts, no fluff, just real talk about what's actually holding you back.

You don't need a new year. You just need new reps.

Tune in now, reflect on your wins, and let's start building your next chapter—no waiting required.
