Follow along in the Midlife Metabolism workbook, Part 5: “Stop Comparing to Your 30-Year-Old Self”, page 12 Let’s be honest for a moment, shall we? How often do we look at old photos and compare ourselves to the person we used to be? A childhood snapshot. A photo from our teenage years. A picture taken 10 or 15 years ago. For many women, that comparison happens almost without thinking. We start out looking back at a memory—and end up measuring who we are today against a young

Follow along in the Midlife Metabolism workbook, Part 4: “The One Thing You’re Probably Missing”, page 10. Sleep, page 10 When women want to change their bodies, sleep usually isn’t the first thing they think about. Food? Absolutely. Exercise? Of course. More protein? Probably. Sleep? That often gets treated like something we’ll focus on once everything else is handled. But one of the biggest messages in the Midlife Metabolism Reset is that sleep is not separate from your met

Strength is one of those words we use all the time without stopping to ask what it actually means. We call someone strong when she pushes through. When she keeps the family moving, answers the texts, remembers the appointments, shows up for work, carries the groceries, holds everyone together, and somehow makes it look manageable. But strength is not only what you can carry. Sometimes strength is putting something down. It is asking for help before you reach a breaking point.

For years, women were told that staying healthy meant eating less, weighing less, and doing more cardio. Strength training was often treated as optional or only for people who wanted to build large muscles. But when it comes to hormones, metabolism, bone health, and aging well, muscle is not optional. It is one of the most valuable forms of protection we can build. As Momgevity hormone expert Dr. Shamsah Amersi has emphasized, fatigue, brain fog, slower recovery, and muscle l

By Executive Expert Jennifer Rumack Saying yes feels good in the moment. Yes, I can help. Yes, I can make it work. Yes, I can be there. Yes, one more thing, sure. For a lot of us, yes has become automatic. It is faster than explaining, easier than disappointing someone, and less awkward than admitting there is nothing left in the tank. But over time, a life built on automatic yeses gets expensive. It quietly costs your time, your energy, your peace, and sometimes your health.

How we choose to lift each other up is a reflection of who we are in life & in business This month, as we spotlight Jennifer Rumack, our Executive Coach, we are looking at the skills and support systems that help women lead more grounded lives. Friendship belongs in that conversation because the people around us shape how supported, confident, and connected we feel. Success is often talked about like it is an individual achievement: your goals, your discipline, your career, y

Stress is not “just in your head.” It is a whole-body response that can affect sleep, appetite, energy, blood sugar, and where the body tends to store fat. Tip: Reflecting on stress and how it affects your body in storing belly fat is in our new Midlife Metabolism Workbook so if you haven’t received it yet you can download it now:) But one important correction matters: stress itself is not a hormone. Cortisol is a hormone released by the adrenal glands as part of the body’s s

We talk about time management like the win is cramming more into the day — more errands, more emails, more everything. But that’s not the goal. The goal is protecting your energy. Creating enough structure that life feels manageable instead of relentless. Because time isn’t just time. Time is energy. An overloaded schedule means an overloaded mind. No breathing room means your nervous system never gets to reset. And when you’re sprinting from one thing to the next, even the t

There is a kind of tired that sleep does not fix. It is the tired of holding it all together. Of being the one who remembers the appointment, the refill, the birthday, the call that needs returning, the thing nobody else noticed. From the outside you look like you have it handled. On the inside you have been going for a long time, and no one has said thank you in a while. If that is you, this month is for you. We tend to think we have to earn our worth by how much we do and h

There is a version of summer we’re sold — golden light, effortless mornings, the sense that everything, including our bodies, should simply ease up for a few months. But your hormones don’t read the calendar. They don’t take a season off, and neither do the systems they regulate: energy, sleep, mood, focus, metabolism, temperature control, and how well we recover from stress. In conversations with our hormone expert Dr. Shamsah Amersi, we return to this point again and again.

Longer days, warmer nights, travel, and changing routines can all shift the way we sleep—especially in midlife. Summer is supposed to feel easier, right? The days are longer. Dinner happens later. We spend more time outside, travel more, see friends, and try to make the most of every warm evening. There is often a little less structure and a little more spontaneity. It all sounds relaxing. And yet, somehow, many of us end up more tired. We stay up later because it does not fe

Hint: If you said more downtime, you're on the right track Every summer, the noise gets louder. “Lose the mom bod.” “Get your pre-baby body back.” “Bikini ready in six weeks.” “Drop the weight before vacation.” It shows up in ads, social posts, wellness programs, and casual comments that may seem harmless on the surface but carry a familiar message underneath: your body is a project, and summer is the deadline (instead of how I like to think about—your body serves a purpose a

Hint: It’s Not What Instagram Shows You If you search “thriving” on Instagram right now, here’s what you’ll find: a woman in matching linen, golden-hour light, green juice in hand, abs visible, children perfectly behaved in the background. And you’ll feel (even if just for a split second), like you are NOT thriving. As the founder of Momgevity and a real mom myself: I want you to know, that’s not thriving. That’s a content strategy. Thriving is a deeply personal, physiologica

Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is pause, breathe, and move your body. Momgevity retreat, California Coast Moms are exceptionally good at reading a room. You can sense when your child is about to melt down before a single tear falls. You know when the house is too quiet, when someone is hungry, when your partner is off, when the calendar is too full. You carry the mental load of an entire household — and most days, you do it without anyone noticing. But here's wh

What if this summer isn’t about becoming someone new, but coming home to yourself? Summer has a way of making women feel like they are supposed to arrive as a finished product: more toned, more energized, more social, more confident, more glowing, more “ready.” Little known secret—we’re never really fully ready so stop waiting. Ready for the swimsuit. Ready for the photos. Ready for the vacation. Ready for the beach days. Ready for the season where everyone seems to be outsid

MOMGEVITY BY LAREINE CHABUT JUN 05, 2026 Sofia at elementary graduation As graduation season approaches, I’ve found myself reflecting on my own daughters and the milestones they’ve recently stepped into — one graduating from college, the other from high school. Like so many moms, I felt the joy, pride, emotion, and disbelief that comes with watching your children cross such meaningful thresholds. But as I sat with those feelings, I realized graduation is not only about what o

Stress has become a constant companion for many women juggling work, family, caregiving, hormonal changes, relationships, and the nonstop flow of information. This constant “go mode” keeps the nervous system activated longer than it should, leading to feelings of anxiety, exhaustion, and overwhelm. One simple, accessible tool to help restore calm is breathwork. Breathwork means intentionally changing how you breathe to support your physical, mental, and emotional well-being.

I remember my friend saying she was taking magnesium and had been going to the bathroom alot but she meant to take the kind that helps for sleep. Big difference! So, I quickly set her on her path to the right Magnesium....read on to find out which one you may need. Magnesium is a mineral that plays a vital role in many bodily functions, including muscle relaxation, nerve function, and energy production. Two popular forms of magnesium supplements—magnesium glycinate and magnes

Mother’s Day has a way of bringing up a lot at once. There is the love, the gratitude, the sweet moments, and the celebration. But there is also the reality that motherhood often comes with an invisible pressure to be everything for everyone, all the time. Somewhere along the way, many mothers start believing that needing rest, support, space, health, joy, or time for themselves means they are taking something away from the people they love. But I want to remind you of someth

Summer is the season of sunshine, travel, pool days, late nights, family plans, and hopefully a little more fun. But it is also a season where routines shift — and when routines shift, your body notices. That does not mean anything is wrong. It simply means your hormones are responsive. They are constantly listening to your sleep, stress, hydration, nutrition, movement, and environment. The more you understand how they work, the better you can support your body through a busy
