If you’re exhausted but also deeply competent, this workshop is for you. This Friday I’m hosting a live session for people who are done being told to “regulate better,” “set boundaries,” or “fix their mindset” while working inside systems that keep raising the bar and removing support. This is a practical working session, NOT a motivational talk. What you’ll walk away with: - A clear map of where your energy is actually going (cognitive, emotional, invisible labor), so you can stop guessing why you’re depleted - A simple framework to distinguish what is yours to regulate vs what is a structural problem you’re absorbing - Language you can use with managers, partners, or clients to name overload without sounding defensive or emotional - A prioritization method for deciding what deserves your limited capacity first instead of trying to fix everything at once - A way to reduce chronic activation without disengaging from work you care about or pretending the world is fine This is especially relevant if you’re in midlife, leadership, caregiving, or any role where competence quietly turns into over-functioning. I'd love to see you on Friday, Jan. 23rd 11am - 12:30pm CT. Link in comments or DM me with questions. Sometimes the most regulating thing you can do is stop blaming yourself for systems that are unsustainable by design. meny.me #womeninleadership #midlifewomen #caregivers

Midlife is confusing as hell. Not because we forgot how to function, but because the rules changed and no one explained what to do next. We're capable, thoughtful, total badasses. And yet we're stuck trying harder, tweaking strategies, and wondering why nothing feels sustainable anymore. The problem is DEFINITELY not effort. I believe it's lack of clarity. What most of us need is a clear answer to one question: What needs support first? I'm hosting a live workshop on January 23. In 90 minutes, you'll leave knowing: - whether the strain is coming from your body, your emotional load, or your daily demands - what deserves your energy now and what can wait - how to stop trying to fix everything at once This is about reclaiming power and agency by getting clear on your real capacity and owning your path from there. If you are capable, thoughtful, and a total badass who is tired of guessing, I would love to have you in the room.

Midlife teaches women to blame themselves for symptoms they were never given context for. For years, I gaslit myself about symptoms that felt wildly out of my control. Sleep was one of them, but it wasn’t just sleep. It was focus that showed up randomly and never when I needed it. Energy that ghosted me. A nervous system that behaved like I was being attacked every time Slack chimed. What I eventually learned is what’s been buried in research for years and rarely surfaced up to women when they need it: during the midlife transition, hormonal shifts can affect sleep, cognition, mood regulation, and stress response. These weren’t habits to tighten or routines to perfect. They were signals my body was sending that I didn’t yet have the language to understand. Once I did, everything changed, including my sleep. This is how the internal gaslighting starts. When symptoms show up without explanation, capable women do what they’ve always done: take responsibility and try harder. Understanding what your body is doing interrupts that loop and puts agency back where it belongs. Not in forcing yourself through it, but in listening, interpreting, and responding with intention. Honoring yourself in midlife starts by learning how to listen to your body without turning it into a character assessment. When you can read your body’s signals, you can advocate for your care with confidence and build systems that support your energy, responsibilities, and values, not fight them. This is the work I do with high-achieving women in midlife: learning how to listen to the body, advocate with clarity, and build a sustainable life that feels strong, grounded, and purposeful. If that’s what you’re looking for, you’re welcome to book a discovery call. meny.me #womeninmidlife #womeninleadership

I’m learning to listen to my body instead of trying to outrun it, and it has changed everything. If you’re craving steadiness too, you can book a free discovery call. I’ll help you understand what your nervous system has been trying to tell you and give you one grounding practice tailored to your current season (Link in comments)

Today, I shared a reminder I needed myself. We are told that if we can’t keep up, we should push harder. The truth is that rest is what brings us back to ourselves and strengthens our capacity to move through the world. At meny.me, this is the heart of the work. We question the stories that keep us small and replace them with practices that support real energy, agency, and creativity. If you are doing that work too, I hope you follow along this month. I will be exploring the lies we have absorbed and the truths that help us rise.

At some point in midlife you stop trying to “fix” yourself and start realizing the system was never designed with you in mind in the first place. Your hormones change. Your priorities shift. Your energy gets honest. And yet the world keeps handing you influencer routines built for people with unlimited time and no real-life responsibilities. Wake up at 4. Meditate for an hour. Run a marathon. Green juice. Pilates. Glow. Meanwhile you are over here saying, “I'm proud I remembered to drink water today.” This week I'm choosing gratitude for the women who are done performing. Done contorting, pretending, and squeezing themselves into plans that were never meant for their bodies or their realities. Midlife isn't a crisis - it's an awakening. And if you're ready to build habits, boundaries, and rhythms that actually fit your lived experience, you can book a free discovery call at www.meny.me You'll walk away with one boundary, one doable habit, and one simple tool that can stabilize your week. No perfection, pressure, or performing. Nicole Johnson #midlifewomen #womenleaders

There was a moment where my body simply said, “Nope.” And honestly… fair. I was pushing through symptoms, stress, and signals that deserved a real plan. So I built the meny.me framework - the structure I wish I had when everything started shifting. Tools, coaching, and a 5-phase system designed for real life, not perfect circumstances. If your body is giving you the “nope” signal, book a free discovery call with me (link in comments) Save this for when you need a reset. Nicole Johnson #midlifewomen #womenleaders

Today, the first wave of content is live on meny.me, tools for women who want clarity in their midlife instead of confusion Women are told what to do in midlife, but almost no one teaches us how to understand our own bodies. I learned that the hard way. I was working full-time, solo parenting, and trying to keep life steady when my body started shifting in ways I could not explain. I went looking for clarity. Instead I found loud voices that did not match each other or the research I was reading. One clinician online was completely certain about the “right” path. Another said something different. Influencers shared routines that worked for them, not for women with full, complicated lives. And the women around me were experiencing the same thing. Confusion. Dismissal. Mixed messages. A lot of “follow my plan,” and almost no “here are tools that will help you make decisions for your specific body.” The issue was never a lack of information. It was a lack of translation. Women needed support that respected their intelligence and their reality, not another routine to copy. During all of this, humor kept me grounded. Sharing memes with my friends and laughing at the absurd parts of midlife reminded me that nothing was wrong with me. My system was simply asking for a different kind of care. Women do not need more pressure. We need clarity, compassion, and tools that help us trust what we notice. That’s why I built meny.me and today the first wave of tools and programs are live. These tools and guides reflect my background in UX, my coaching work, and my lived experience navigating midlife with responsibilities, ambition, and a human body that does not always follow the rules. If you want support that feels clear and grounded, you can explore the tools at www.meny.me. And if you want help figuring out where to start or what your body might be trying to tell you, you can book a free discovery call. We will walk through your season together and map out what makes sense for you, not for someone else. Women deserve explanations that make sense. They deserve tools that fit their lives. They deserve support that feels human. meny.me

I used to think I could earn peace if I worked hard enough for it. When I became a solo parent at 39, that belief went into overdrive. I was determined to hold everything together, to stay active, to keep proving I could do it all on my own. I said yes to every project and every invitation. I told myself it was strength, but really, I was running on adrenaline. There was a stretch when I’d spend evenings and weekends with my son and realize I wasn’t actually there. He even started asking me where I was. My body was in the room, but my mind was racing through work, bills, and what needed to get done next. I missed so much. I thought calm would arrive once everything was handled, but it never did. Now I understand that peace takes discipline too. It takes the willingness to stop before you crash and the courage to say no even when it disappoints someone. It takes the self-trust to rest before you’ve earned it. This kind of discipline builds something more lasting than achievement. It builds capacity, clarity, and a life that finally has space to breathe. Peace is not something you find… it’s something you make. What would protecting your peace look like this week if you treated it as a non-negotiable part of your work? meny.me #midlife #woman #boundaries #womeninleadership #worklifebalance

Peace isn’t passive. It’s a choice you make again and again. It’s the quiet work of protecting what matters instead of trying to hold everything together. Boundaries are how you maintain it. Rest is how you protect it. Clarity is what follows when you finally stop pushing. I write about more of this in the Midlife Reset newsletter: reflections, research, and tools that help you rebuild your systems of energy and care.
