It's me speaking with you this week offering my perspective on midlife health, focusing on building long-term vitality through strength training, mindful eating, and sustainable lifestyle changes. It's time to ditch the quick-fix mentality and embrace lasting results. Together, we'll explore the importance of being mindful about sugar consumption, the crucial role that muscle plays in metabolism, and the often-overlooked implications of relying on medications for weight loss.

We dive into the unique challenges women face during midlife and how to navigate them with confidence and clarity. One of the key topics we cover is the importance of maintaining muscle mass, not just for aesthetics, but for overall health and well-being. In a world dominated by dieting culture and the pressure of caloric restriction, we challenge these limiting ideas and encourage a healthier, more balanced approach to nourishment.

Hidden sugars in processed foods are another major topic, as they can impact cravings and derail our best intentions. We'll uncover how to make smarter food choices, emphasizing balanced nutrition rich in protein and fiber. We’ll also explore the distinction between weight loss and fat loss, empowering you to prioritize sustainable fat loss strategies that support long-term health.

Additionally, we take a closer look at GLP-1 medications and their role in health, helping you understand their potential benefits and limitations. Plus, we offer practical advice on incorporating regular exercise and hydration into your daily routine, helping you feel strong, energized, and ready to take on whatever comes next.

If you’re ready to take the next step and want to learn more about coaching or working with me, please don’t hesitate to reach out. There’s no pressure, just a chance for us to chat and explore what’s best for you. This is the perfect time of year to reassess your health and lifestyle. 

Take a moment to reflect on what you want to achieve in the next 6 to 12 months, but also think about the bigger picture—what do you want your life and health to look like in the next 10, 20, or even 30 years? The power to create lasting change is in your hands.

If you're a woman over 50, you likely find yourself facing the emotional and logistical challenges of caring for aging family members. Our guest, April Ibarra, a social gerontologist and my Faster Way client, is here to share her wisdom and guide you through this crucial journey. From teaching exercise classes in nursing homes to helping companies with health and wellness, April's path led her to her true passion—elder care advising.

As a podcast host, I receive countless pitches from PR agencies recommending guests for the show. While many of them sound great, sometimes the fit just isn’t right—whether the topic doesn’t resonate with our audience or the subject matter feels repetitive. My goal is to bring on women who are making a difference, breaking new ground, and sharing fresh perspectives. These are conversations we may not always have in our everyday circles, so when I received an email about today’s guest, I knew instantly it was a perfect fit.

Sue Willoughby is the founder of Willoughby Coaching, where she helps women over 40 face their personal obstacles and transform their lives through the power of Equus Coaching. This unique approach helps women tap into the profound insights that come from engaging with horses, offering a deeper understanding of leadership, communication, and self-awareness. It’s a powerful way to unlock personal growth and change the trajectory of one’s life.

Sue’s own life story is a testament to resilience. Raised by an alcoholic mother, and navigating her journey of coming out at 17, Sue’s experiences have deeply shaped her coaching philosophy. She is passionate about empowering women over 40 to embrace their authentic selves, drawing from her own journey of self-discovery and independence. Through Equus Coaching, Sue uses horses as a tool to help women gain clarity on their leadership and communication styles, fostering transformation and personal insight.

A pivotal moment in Sue’s life came when she confronted her relationship with alcohol. This decision opened the door to a new sense of clarity and emotional well-being, and ultimately, helped her reconnect with her true self. Her diverse career path—from bartending to stand-up comedy to becoming a pilot—underscores the importance of breaking free from self-imposed limitations and embracing the courage to reinvent yourself. Sue’s journey highlights the value of taking manageable steps when making life and career transitions, and we hope her story inspires listeners to challenge their own fears and pursue new ventures.

In this conversation, we invite women to redefine what midlife and beyond can look like, offering practical advice and personal stories that remind us: it’s never too late to change direction and embrace new possibilities with kindness, curiosity, and a sense of purpose.
