Feeling like self-care is selfish? You’re not alone. For midlife women over 50, guilt often sneaks in and stops us from putting ourselves first. And let’s be honest—Why Self-Care Feels So Damn Hard for Midlife Women is something we’ve all wondered about.

Here’s the truth: self-care isn’t about spa days or bubble baths. It’s about creating habits that help us thrive. Setting boundaries. Avoiding Burnout. Showing up as our best selves.

In episode 230, I’m joined by Lesley Logan, a second-generation certified Pilates teacher, author, and host of the Be It Till You See It podcast. Lesley is passionate about helping women prioritize themselves through movement, mindset, and self-care. She shares her journey of overcoming perfectionism and embracing guilt-free self-care.

Her advice is simple: Focus on the basics—Sleep, movement, and proper nutrition. These small but powerful habits create the foundation for thriving in midlife.

We also discuss the guilt many women feel when prioritizing themselves. Lesley challenges this mindset head-on and reminds us that self-care isn’t selfish—it’s essential. When you take care of yourself, you can give more energy, love, and support to the people who matter most.

Lesley shares practical tips to make self-care easier. Create a schedule that prioritizes you. Build habits that fit into your daily life. Ask for help when needed—and let go of the guilt.

Self-care isn’t a luxury. It’s a necessity. Thriving in midlife starts with putting yourself first.
