Start Before You're Ready

Ep 39. One Step at a Time: Elyse Shaya's Journey from Overwhelmed to Empowered


Listen Later

If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to start, this episode is for you. Elyse shares her honest journey of transformation as she approaches 40, redefining health and strength after motherhood. She opens up about the ups and downs of weight, fertility, and postpartum life, and how her mother’s health journey inspired her to make lasting changes for her family.


Encouraged by her neighbor Tina (from Episode #22), Elyse joins Kelly’s Bootcamp and discovers the power of community, the magic of her first class, and the emotional release that kept her coming back. She reveals the most important lesson she’s learned: you don’t have to do it all at once—just take one step.


Elyse talks about building strength, shifting her mindset after setbacks, and the advice that keeps her moving: “If it hurts, pick an alternative, but just keep moving.” Her tip for anyone starting out? Change one thing at a time, let it become routine, and keep going—even when it’s hard.


Tune in for an inspiring, relatable conversation about starting before you’re ready, finding your people, and building a joyful, sustainable approach to health—one step at a time.
