Why everything feels harder 35+ EP68

On the podcast this week, Aimee and Emma unpack why everything around food, nutrition, and health can feel so much harder once you hit your mid-30s and beyond. This season of life often looks very different to your 20s — you’re building careers, raising children, supporting partners, carrying the mental load of a household, and sometimes beginning to care for aging parents too. Add in changing hormones, less time, more stress, poorer sleep, and the pressure to ‘do it all,’ and it’s no surprise that eating well can start to feel overwhelming instead of simple. In this conversation, they explore the reality of trying to look after yourself while constantly looking after everyone else — and why the answer isn’t more restriction, guilt, or perfection. It’s about finding realistic nutrition, more self-compassion, and habits that actually support the life you’re living now
