In this episode, I’m calling out a pattern I see constantly with high-achieving women over 40: you’re not stuck because you’re doing something wrong…you’re stuck because you’re applying the wrong productivity model to your body. The same “work harder, stay longer, do more” approach that may have worked in corporate settings is often the exact thing that slows results when it comes to workouts, nutrition, and feeling good in your body. I share stories from my 20+ years in corporate leadership, including how efficiency was often rewarded with more work, not better outcomes, and why hours logged never actually equaled impact.

If you’re already working out and trying to eat well, but still not seeing or feeling the changes you want, this episode will help you reframe where your time and energy actually matter. Consistency beats intensity. Support beats discipline. And doing the right things beats doing more things. I also share exactly why simple, effective workouts and a realistic nutrition plan are the key for busy moms, and how you can stop overworking your body the same way you once overworked your career. If this resonates, I share how to go deeper with my free Hot Mom guide, where I walk you through exactly how I lost 10 pounds in 10 weeks as a busy single mom in my 40s without blowing up my life.
