Feeling like your body’s working against you in your 40s? You’re eating clean, working out harder than ever, and yet… the weight just won’t budge. Your energy’s low, sleep is off, and your doctor says it’s “just hormones” or “normal aging.”

But here’s the truth: You’re not broken—and you don’t have to accept that answer.

In this episode, I’m breaking down what’s really happening in perimenopause, why so many women feel dismissed by traditional advice, and how foundational strategies like strength training, blood sugar balance, and stress recovery can completely change the game.

You’ll learn:

• Why “eat less and move more” doesn’t work in perimenopause.

• What your OB-GYN may not be trained to address.

• The 3 key levers that actually support your hormones: muscle, metabolism, and nervous system care

Whether this is your first episode or your 50th (!!!), I’m so glad you’re here. This milestone episode is a special one—because I’m pulling back the curtain and sharing the real story of how ACE Nutrition came to life.

Spoiler alert: It didn’t happen overnight.

No one handed me a thriving coaching business. There were years of uncertainty, late nights, mindset work, and yes—massive investments in myself and my growth.

In this episode, I’m getting real about: ✨ My personal journey from chronic yo-yo dieting to food freedom. ✨ How I juggled a full-time job in insurance while building my dream biz. ✨ The fears, doubts, and limiting beliefs I had to overcome to go all in. ✨ What it actually takes to grow an online coaching business from scratch. ✨ Why investing in mentorship changed everything for me. ✨ The message I wish every woman stuck in autopilot could hear.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, unfulfilled, or unsure whether you’re capable of more—this one’s for you. 

My hope is that my story lights a fire in you to take a chance on yourself, whether that’s with your health, your mindset, or your next chapter.
