What if a refined, focused, and lower stress approach is the key to finally feeling, looking, and performing your best with lifelong sustainable success? 

In this heartfelt solo episode, Louise, one of the world’s leading health, fitness, and performance experts, invites high-achieving active women to pause, reflect, and embrace a new kind of summer challenge, one rooted in calm, confidence, and letting go of perfectionism. If you’re someone who constantly pushes for more: more results, more control, more effort, but still feels something’s missing, this episode is for you!

Louise shares personal insights, lessons from coaching hundreds of women through hormone challenges and perimenopause changes, and how simplifying her own approach led to unexpected breakthroughs. From her simple science-backed methods to summer vacation vibes, this conversation is a powerful reminder: You don’t need to do more to be enough. Sometimes, less really is more.
