    If you’ve ever been told to “just eat mindfully” to control cravings and weight, you’re not alone.

Today, we’re diving into the real reason mindfulness around food fails us.

    If you’re ready to actually stop those automatic urges, this episode is for you.

    If you’re already saying to yourself… I want to enjoy the holidays, so I’m going to start my diet in January, then I want you to listen closely to what I’m about to say.

    The truth is… the holidays easily pull us into an all-or-nothing mindset, and that mentality can have a significant impact on your weight. The average American gains 6 pounds over the holidays. It’s not just about the extra treats or indulgences—it’s these deeper patterns that start to emerge this time of year, patterns that can lead us into cycles of guilt, regret, and ultimately, weight gain.

    In today’s episode of Your Midlife Comeback Story, we’re going to answer the question… what is the real reason behind this all or nothing holiday food mindset? I’ll walk you through the 4 patterns most of us fall into during the holidays that create this cycle. You’ll learn why this mindset grips us so tightly, the psychological roots behind it, and, most importantly, what you can start doing right now to escape it.

    If you’re ready to enjoy a holiday season where you don’t feel held back by guilt, regret, overindulgence, or the thought of “starting over in January,” then you’ll want to listen closely. This is Holiday Survival Part 3 of a 4 part series.


    Together, we will unpack:

    What is the real reason behind this all or nothing holiday food mindset?What is the "good girl spiral"?How can you make true, sustainable changes when the diet industry expects you to fail?

  • We’ve all been there. Someone says something we think is a little off the wall and we become triggered. We stew in our emotions, we want to run away from the situation, and we want to shove that feeling as far back down as we can. But what if instead of ignoring what we’re feeling, we do something different instead?

    As we enter midlife, so many things are changing – career transitions, being in the “sandwich” generation of taking care of kids and aging parents, and yes, even menopause, all while trying to figure out who we really are. This transition can be scary and exhilarating all at the same time. You're in luck, because today on Your Midlife Comeback Story, we have the Intuitive Therapist herself, Janis Cohen.

    Janis is here to answer the question… what exactly is a midlife makeover?


    Together, we will unpack:

    What exactly is a midlife makeover?What is it about midlife that is to be celebrated?How can you get to a point of curiosity over conviction, when it comes to being triggered?Is there one change in midlife that really affects us more than others?How is an intuitive therapist different from a traditional therapist?What is the number one rule to break in midlife?



    Janis Cohen is a therapeutic coach who helps women in midlife, uncover their true authentic self so they can reignite their passion, purpose, and personal power. Janis is the author of The Intuitive Therapist, Podcast host of The Intuitive Therapist Podcast, therapist of 32 years, clairvoyant, empath, and psychic medium who went from having no clue about who she truly was to understanding her purpose and truth clearly by the age of 52. Janis has helped thousands of women uncover THEIR authentic truth and has taught them how to live unapologetically and stand in their power.
