In this episode, Joan invites you to pause, reflect, and refocus on what truly matters in midlife -  your health, strength, and energy. Through a powerful reflection exercise, you’ll look back ten years and ahead ten years to connect with the version of you that’s counting on your choices today.

Joan breaks down the three pillars that have the power to completely transform how you feel: fitness, nutrition, and healthy habits. You’ll learn why these areas are the foundation for your strength and longevity, and how your daily routines determine your future well-being.

Backed by science, Joan highlights two game-changing habits every woman 40+ needs to prioritize: lifting weights and prioritizing protein. These two simple, but powerful, actions can reshape your metabolism, bone health, confidence, and energy  - and they’re easier to fit into your life than you think.

This episode is an empowering reminder that midlife isn’t the end - it’s the turning point. Your habits today are building the foundation for your future self.

• A guided reflection to connect with your past and future self
