In this episode, we're diving into the real powerhouse moves of strength training-compound lifts. I’ll break down exactly what they are, why they matter so much for women over 40, and how they can help you burn fat, build muscle, and boost your metabolism in less time. 

We’ll also talk about isolation exercises and why they often deliver little return for your effort, especially if you're juggling a busy life and want results that last. If you're ready to train smarter, not harder, this episode is your wake-up call.

In this episode, I’m opening up about something I’ve never shared publicly: I’ve been gluten-free since the end of January, not because I think everyone should be, but because I started paying attention to how my body was feeling. 

I’ll walk you through the symptoms I was experiencing, how I made the shift, and the changes I’ve noticed since reducing gluten in my diet. If you’ve been dealing with fatigue, bloating, headaches, or gut issues and feel like “something is off,” this might be the episode that helps you tune in more closely to your own body.

If you’ve been feeling off-track lately - whether life got busy, you lost motivation, or you’re just a little bored with your routine, this episode is your reset. I’m diving into why we tend to drift from what actually works, how distractions and all-or-nothing thinking sneak in, and what you can do to refocus without starting from scratch.

You’ll walk away with simple, actionable steps to get back to basics - like prioritizing protein, movement, sleep, and mindset, and a powerful reminder that you don’t need a brand new plan… you just need to work the one that already works.

Did the weekend leave you feeling a little off track? Maybe it started with a glass of wine and turned into skipping your workouts, eating out more than you planned, and telling yourself you’d “start fresh Monday.” Well, Monday’s here. Now what?

In this episode, I’m giving you the exact mindset and simple action steps to hit reset without spiraling into guilt, punishment, or restriction. Because one weekend doesn’t define your progress, and you don’t need to overhaul your life. You just need to get back to what works.

Tune in for:

• The 3 things to focus on today (hint: none involve cutting carbs)
• A quick mindset shift to break the “start over” cycle
• Why progress is built on what you do most of the time- not perfectly

Let’s reset together- grace first, then structure.

You’ve got this.

Feeling stuck, tired, or like your progress has stalled? You might just be in the messy middle, and that’s exactly where change really happens.

In this episode, Casey shares a behind-the-scenes look at the chaotic renovation project she and her husband just took on - and how it mirrors what so many of us experience in our fitness journey. From broken cabinets and cracked walls to overwhelming to-do lists, she gets real about what it means to keep going when progress is hard to see.

You’ll walk away with a powerful mindset shift, practical encouragement, and a reminder that showing up imperfectly is still showing up.

This one’s for you if you’re in a season of “will this ever get easier?” - because spoiler: it will.
