Stop running on empty, why high-achieving women never stop, and one experiment to try today. If you’re exhausted in midlife, it’s probably not because you’re doing too little. It’s because you don’t stop until there’s nothing left. In this episode, we explore Hara Hachi Bu – the ancient Okinawan principle of stopping at 80% full,
You’re doing what used to work. The same effort. The same habits. The same you. And yet something feels… off. Not broken. Not dramatic. Just slightly out of tune. That feeling has a name. And it might not be what you think. You’re not falling apart. But something has shifted. Energy that used to be

You look at your life and think, “Why can’t I make myself care about this the way I used to?” Nothing is falling apart. On paper, it’s fine. But something in you has gone flat, and you can’t tell if you need to change something… or if something in you already has. You keep thinking,
You’re not suddenly bad at discipline. You’re just paying the Should Tax all day, and the bill shows up at night. If your plan to feel alive again feels like punishment, your brain will look for relief, and Oreos, scrolling, or wine will win more often than you’d like. In midlife and menopause, pressure stops
If eating less used to work for you – and suddenly doesn’t – this episode is for you. In Part 2 of Eat Like a Woman, Diana Devi explains why female bodies process food differently in midlife and after menopause. This is not about dieting, restriction, or “good” and “bad” foods. It’s about understanding how
