Have you ever eaten something you didn't want—just because it was there, or because you didn't want it to go to waste? In this episode of Total Health in Midlife, I'm sharing a deeply personal story about leftovers, silent resentment, and the invisible rules so many women live by without even realizing it. What started with a container of forgotten vegetables turned into an unexpected insight about worth, sacrifice, and why we often take the smaller portion—not just at the dinner table, but in life. If you've ever felt like you're always the one settling, always making do, always keeping things together while putting yourself last—this episode is for you. We'll explore the hidden beliefs that drive these choices, how they affect your health, and what you can do to start choosing differently. This conversation isn't about food. It's about self-respect, small rebellions, and learning how to want again. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN The hidden thought that drives many women to settle—for food, time, and energy How guilt and thrift are often mistaken for virtue (and how that messes with our habits) The subtle difference between choosing something and defaulting to it A simple reframe you can use to start honoring your preferences—without guilt RESOURCES The 8 Basic Habits of Healthy People Guide & Checklist Daring Greatly by Brené Brown Get full show notes and more information here: https://elizabethsherman.com/podcast/237

Episode 18: Conflict Prevention In this episode: Fight or flight mentality Different life experiences & perspectives Choosing curiosity over defensiveness Is the story true or are your emotions driving The Power of Vulnerability I am SO excited you are here today because we are talking about a really important topic: preventing conflict. It’s a little bit of a different take on conflict resolution or dealing with negativity but is a lot more about the REAL TIME reactions during conflict. We always get to CHOOSE how we react or handle situations & because we are all about ACTION, I’m going to break down a few steps for you: Choose to LEARN – choose CURIOSITY 2. Ask yourself if the STORY is true? Or are your EMOTIONS driving it? 3. Brené Brown – read her books especially "Power of Vulnerability" Quotes: “Is this story you’re creating even true?” “I got so damn curious I put myself, to the best of my ability that I could, in her shoes, and I thought how can I make sense of this from her lens.” “What an opportunity that I would have missed to learn something if I would have shut her down. An opportunity to learn something about myself, to become a better communicator, to more effectively lead.” “Every single person that we meet knows something we don’t, and has a completely different life experience and perspective. And we get to choose, always choose, to learn.” Resources: The Power of Vulnerability by Brené Brown Get yourself a Mini Trampoline If we aren't connected yet be sure to come hang with me on Instagram @kaciafitzgerald and @empowerHERpodcast or online at www.kaciafitzgerald.com Topic or speaker suggestions?
