If you’ve gained weight again even while doing “everything right” — you are not failing.

For women over 40, weight regain is often tied to muscle loss + hormone shifts, not willpower. Cutting calories and doing more cardio makes it worse — because your metabolism needs muscle, not restriction.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why the scale creeps up in midlife

• How to rebuild muscle + metabolism

• The difference between losing weight vs recomping your body

• How to stop feeling like you’re “starting over”You are not going backwards — your body is asking to be rebuilt stronger.

If you’ve ever stepped on the scale after working hard in the gym and thought, “What the hell? I gained weight?” — this episode is for you.

Here’s the truth: after 40, your body plays by different rules. Losing fat while gaining muscle (aka body recomposition) means the number on the scale might not move at all — or even go up — while your body is actually changing for the better.

In this episode, I break down: ✨ Why the scale lies to women over 40 ✨ How hormones, stress, and muscle all play a role in recomposition ✨ The better ways to track progress beyond the scale ✨ What workouts and nutrition actually work for fat loss + muscle growth after 40 ✨ The mindset shift you need to stop quitting too soon

💡 You’re not broken. You’re not too old. And you don’t need to obsess over the scale. What you need is a plan that works with your hormones, not against them.

👉 If this episode hit home, DM me “READY” and let’s talk about building your body on your terms.

Faith on the Weight Loss Journey

Weight loss is more than workouts and macros — it’s a test of belief. There are days when the scale won’t move, when progress feels invisible, and when quitting looks easier than pushing forward. In this episode, Coach Danya Powers shares what faith really looks like on a weight loss journey, why it matters just as much as science, and how to keep going even when results feel slow.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why faith is the missing ingredient in so many weight loss journeys
• The “seed analogy” — how invisible progress mirrors growth underground
• Three practical ways to practice faith in daily weight loss: vision, micro-commitments, and anchor practices
• Why faith changes outcomes even before the scale does
• How to stay anchored through plateaus and slow seasons

Key Takeaway: Faith is the fuel when results feel invisible. Your work is not wasted — every rep, every meal, every choice is growth happening under the surface.

If I had to lose my menopausal weight all over again — knowing what I know now — this is exactly how I’d do it.

When I hit menopause, I did all the wrong things. I starved myself on 1200 calories, punished myself with hours of cardio, blamed my hormones, and thought I was broken. And maybe you’ve been there too — stuck in the same cycle, frustrated, and ready to give up.

In this episode, I break down the mistakes I made, the turning points that changed everything, and the exact steps I’d take if I had to start over today. This isn’t theory — this is lived experience, combined with what I’ve now taught to hundreds of women over 40 who’ve lost the weight and kept it off.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

• The 3 biggest mistakes women make during menopause weight loss (and why they backfire)

• The turning point that helped me reset my metabolism

• The 5 things I’d do differently if I was starting over today

• What actually doesn’t matter (myth busts that’ll free you from stress)

• Why menopause is not the end of your fat loss story — it’s just a shiftIf you’ve been told “it’s just your hormones” or that fat loss after 40 isn’t possible — this episode will give you hope and a roadmap.

Key Takeaways

• Undereating and overexercising are the fastest ways to wreck your metabolism.

• Muscle is your best fat-loss ally after 40.

• Protein, strength training, sleep, and stress management are non-negotiables.

• The clock doesn’t decide your results — consistency does.

• Menopause isn’t a dead end — it’s a new chapter that requires a new strategy.

If you’re tired of feeling stuck and want a step-by-step plan that works with your body — not against it — DM me READY on Instagram.

Let’s build your comeback together.

In Minneapolis, two children — only 8 and 10 years old — were gunned down during Mass at Annunciation Catholic Church, and 17 others were injured. And in Charlotte, a 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee named Iryna Zarutska, who fled the war for safety, was stabbed to death on a train.

These aren’t just headlines. They are lives, families, and futures cut short.

As a mom who raised my kids to be outspoken, to stand for truth, and to live their faith boldly — this week shook me deeply. In this episode, my husband and I sit down to process the grief, the fear, and the weight of it all. We talk about raising bold kids in a fractured world, how to anchor ourselves in scripture when hope feels thin, and why health matters even more in moments like these.

Because caring for our bodies isn’t vanity — it’s resilience. It’s how we keep showing up for our families, our communities, and the values we refuse to let go of.

What you’ll hear in this episode:

• Grief is real — and you don’t need to rush into answers.
• We live in a world where faith and truth come at a cost.
• Scripture reminds us that God is close to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18), calls us to overcome evil with good (Romans 12:21), and promises His victory even in trouble (John 16:33).
• Health isn’t about shrinking; it’s about staying here, strong and present, for the people who love you and the values you live for.
• Small habits — protein, sleep, prayer, movement — are daily acts of hope and resistance.

Scriptures Mentioned:

• Psalm 34:18 – The Lord is close to the brokenhearted.
• Romans 12:21 – Overcome evil with good.
• John 16:33 – In this world you will have trouble, but take heart.

If this week has reminded you how fragile life is, let it also remind you why your health matters. Take care of your body. Guard your heart. Stay close to God. And keep showing up — because your family, your community, and your faith need you here.
