Hello my friend, and welcome back to the Vibrant Menopause Podcast! Today, I am thrilled to introduce you to my guest, Missy Hughes, a certified personal trainer, nutrition coach, and life coach who will be joining us inside my upcoming Reset & Release group program this September.

Missy brings a wealth of expertise and lived experience to the conversation, and together we dive into why strength training is such a powerful tool for midlife women—not just for weight loss, but for metabolism, bone health, sleep, stress, and even mood. We’ll talk about what really happens to your body during menopause, how movement helps reduce stiffness and inflammation, and why even five minutes a day can make a huge difference.

If you’ve ever wondered how to fit strength training and mobility into your busy professional life—or if you’re ready to finally feel stronger, calmer, and more at home in your body again—this episode is full of practical strategies and inspiration for you.

✨ Don’t miss the part where Missy shares her simple tips for weaving movement into your day, even when life feels packed to the brim.

About Missy:

Welcome to my journey of transformation! As a Personal Trainer and Nutrition Coach, my journey began with a focus on overcoming personal challenges.  Insights into stress management from the Chek Institute helped me realign my hips and low back. Practical food habits, learned through Precision Nutrition, led to a 22lb weight loss by adopting one habit at a time.  

In 2015, a profound experience at the Hoffman Institute taught me that habits are learned behaviors, separate from our identities. Distinguishing between myself as a person and the habits I repeated showed that my enjoyment of a tidy house turned detrimental as I consistently left late to complete tasks.

In 2019, everything really clicked. Discovering Life Coaching equipped me with the tools I needed to stop procrastinating and trying to be perfect. Instead, I learned how to pursue what truly matters to me.

I’m deeply grateful for these shifts, allowing me to close each day with a sense of accomplishment.
