Show Notes:

Midlife stress can feel different—less tolerance for overwhelm, more nervous system activation, and that "wired but tired" feeling that affects sleep, mood, cravings, and energy. If you've been telling yourself you should be coping better, let this episode be your permission slip to stop pushing and start supporting.

In today's Tea & Truth, Lynne shares a simple calm reset that actually works—real-life breathwork you can do in under a minute, daily micro-rituals that help shift your baseline, and gentle herb support with a quick Q&A (what to use, when to use it, and what to be careful with).
