Feeling like you’re already “behind” on fall and it’s not even September? Mid-August has a way of mixing back-to-school chaos with that nagging pressure to overhaul your entire life overnight. But here’s the truth: in midlife, big overhauls lead to burnout.

In this episode of Smash the Crash, host Melissa Hinman shares why the all-or-nothing approach doesn’t work for high-capacity midlife women, and what to do instead. You’ll learn the SMASH framework (in a no-pressure, lite version) and how to build your own Power Plan: a simple, personalized roadmap to refuel your energy, reset your rhythms, and move into fall with clarity and ease.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why overhauls drain your energy (and what to do instead)
• The 5-step SMASH framework for building sustainable habits
• How to start your own Power Plan in under 10 minutes
• Three prompts to create momentum without overwhelm

Whether you’re a professional, caregiver, leader, or all three, you’ll leave this episode with a clear, doable way to reset before fall without sacrificing your sanity.
