Hi GlowGetter 🤍
Welcome back to The Midlife GlowGetter Newsletter — your weekly reminder that midlife is not a slowdown, it’s a level-up.
In today’s issue, I’m inviting you behind the scenes of one of the most powerful routines I use to stay grounded, consistent, and moving forward: my Monthly GlowGetter Reset. I’ll walk you through exactly how I review the past month, realign my habits, and step into the identity of the woman I’m becoming — without overwhelm or perfection.
I’m also sharing:

The GlowGetter Monthly Reset ✨
A simple ritual that keeps my midlife glow-up on track
One of the most powerful habits I’ve built in midlife isn’t a diet, planner, or productivity hack — it’s my Monthly GlowGetter Reset.
Once a month, I pause. I reflect. I realign.
This reset helps me stay intentional about my wellness, weight loss, money, mindset, confidence, and the woman I’m becoming — without overwhelm or perfection.
✨ In midlife, we don’t wait for things to change.
✨ We track it, reflect on it, and make it happen.
Here’s how the reset works.
1. Energy + Wellness
How did my energy feel most days?
Which habits supported my sleep, stress, or joy?
What’s one small upgrade for next month?
2. Weight Loss + Movement
How did my body feel in movement?
What progress did I notice (scale or non-scale)?
What will I continue or adjust next month?
3. Mindset + Self-Talk
What thoughts dominated this month?
Where did my confidence grow?
What belief do I want to strengthen next?
4. Productivity + Habits
What routines helped me feel on top of life?
What drained me?
What habit needs a simpler version?
5. Money + Financial Glow-Up
Did my spending match my priorities?
What money win did I have?
What leak can I fix next month?
6. Home + Organization
What spaces felt calm and efficient?
What needs a reset or simplification?
7. Relationships + Connection
Which relationships added joy or growth?
Where do I need better boundaries?
Who do I want to connect with next month?
8. Style + Beauty + Confidence
When did I show up as the woman I’m becoming?
What made me feel confident or radiant?
What can I elevate next month?
9. Personal Growth
What did I learn or practice this month?
What growth edge am I committing to next?
10. Wins + Celebrations
What wins am I proud of?
What brave thing did I do?
How will I celebrate progress?
Monthly Close-Out ✨
Finish with these two sentences:
This month, I became a woman who…​
​Next month, I’m stepping into the identity of a woman who…
That’s the real glow-up — identity shift.
Mid-Month GlowGetter Check-In
Halfway through the month, ask:
• How am I feeling physically?
• Am I honoring my health habits?
• What’s one win I’m proud of?
• What’s my ONE focus for the rest of the month?
Close with this mantra:
“I am in progress. I am showing up. I am becoming the woman I promised myself.”

Blueberry-Green Tea Smoothie
In a blender, puree 1/ cup frozen blueberries & strawberries, 1/ cup unsweetened green tea, 3/4 cup plain low-fat yogurt, and tablespoons ground flaxseed until smooth.
