Meal Planning That Finally Fits Your Real Life
Meal Planning Playbook
The meal planning system that bends with your life instead of breaking when real life happens.
A simple, flexible, midlife-friendly approach to planning meals - one that honors your energy, your schedule, and your actual life.
Do You Feel Like...
Meal planning isn’t hard because you’re unmotivated.
It’s hard because most systems are too rigid for a real midlife life: shifting schedules, changing energy, caretaking, hormone chaos, work demands, and the mental load of feeding yourself (and often everyone else).
You don’t need more discipline. You need a system designed for an actual human.
The Meal Planning Playbook gives you a flexible framework that adjusts to your energy, your week, and your appetite, not a “perfect” plan you’ll abandon by Thursday. You’ll learn how to plan realistically, prep minimally, and eat in a way that supports your health without taking over your life.
Instead of planning like the ideal version of you, you’ll learn to plan like the current you ...
... which is the only version that can actually follow through.

Hello!
I'm Elizabeth
I’m Elizabeth Sherman, a Master Certified Life & Health Coach who works with midlife women who are tired of feeling behind, overwhelmed, or defeated by health advice that never seems to apply to their real lives.
I know that feeling well. For years, I made beautiful meal plans I couldn’t stick to. I thought I needed to home-cook every meal in order to be 'healthy'. So, I tried to force myself through complicated recipes, rigid routines, and “perfect” plans that required way more time and energy than I actually had. When they inevitably fell apart, I assumed the problem was me - not the structure I was trying to live inside.
Everything shifted when I stopped trying to be the ideal version of myself and started planning based on who I was that week - my schedule, my energy, my mood, my capacity. That’s when meal planning stopped feeling like a test and started feeling like support.
Now, through my coaching services, and the Total Health in Midlife podcast, I teach women how to create sustainable, compassionate health habits that honor their real lives.
The Meal Planning Playbook is an extension of that philosophy. It’s a simple, thoughtful system to help you plan meals without pressure, shame, or unrealistic expectations - and it’s built specifically for women who want to feel grounded and nourished, not overwhelmed.
Because you don’t need another rigid plan.
You need support that adapts to you.
