March 19 4 | When Life Keeps Getting in the Way: How to Adjust Your Weight Loss Goals Without Giving Up
Do you ever feel like every time you try to get back on track, life blows up your plan?
Do you find yourself thinking, “I just need a normal week” before you can really focus on your health again?
Have you ever felt like if you can’t do it all, you might as well do nothing?
In this episode, we’re talking about what to do when life keeps getting in the way of your goals. I’m sharing why adjusting your expectations is not the same as giving up, how giving yourself grace actually helps you stay more consistent, and why setting minimums can keep you moving forward even in the busiest, hardest seasons.
This episode will help you stop starting over every time life gets messy and start building habits that can still work when things are not perfect. If you’ve been feeling frustrated, behind, or like you just can’t keep up, this one will help you shift your mindset and make progress in a way that feels realistic.

March 09 1 | Stop Labeling Foods “Good” and “Bad”: The Mindset Shift That Makes Weight Loss Easier
You’re a busy mom trying to “eat better,” but food feels like a daily test, cookies on the counter, dinner out, Chick-fil-A on a chaotic day, and your brain spirals: “That’s bad… I blew it… I’ll start over Monday.” You’re not alone.
In this episode, I break down why labeling foods “good” or “bad” keeps you stuck in the diet cycle, and how swapping rigid rules for simple guidelines creates boundaries without guilt or obsession.
Picture using this the next time you’re tempted: you pause, choose on purpose, and move on, no shame, no spiral, no starting over. This shift helps you build consistency, peace around food, and sustainable weight loss.

About Strength With Michelle | Start Strength Training, Perimenopause, Women Over 40, Build Muscle

From the publisher's feed

You know you should be strength training. You've heard how important it is for women over 40, especially during perimenopause and menopause. You want to build muscle, feel stronger, and stay active and independent as you get older.

So why aren't you doing it?

Maybe you've never lifted weights and have absolutely no idea where to start. Or maybe you used to lift, but somewhere between work, kids, and everything else life threw at you, you stopped.

And now you're wondering how to actually make strength training part of your life.

And there's something else that's probably been on your mind lately.

You're starting to see what getting older can look like. Maybe you're watching your parents struggle with things that used to be easy. And while you know you can't control everything about your future, you're realizing you want to do what you can now to stay strong, capable, and independent for as long as possible.

Because you don't just want to live longer. You want to keep doing the things you love while you're living.

Welcome to Strength with Michelle, the podcast for women in their 40s, 50s, and beyond who are tired of thinking about lifting weights and ready to actually do it.

I'm Michelle, a board-certified health and wellness coach, personal trainer, and exercise science nerd with a master's degree to prove it. I'm also a mom of three who loves lifting heavy and helping women discover what they're capable of.

Around here, we're talking about what's really keeping you from strength training, how to feel more confident in the gym or working out at home, and how to build a strength-training routine that works with your actual life.

Because you don't need another lecture about why you should lift weights. You need help figuring out how to make it happen.

And you definitely don't need to squat 250 pounds. But we might need to have a conversation about those 10-pound dumbbells you've been using for the last five years. 😂

Previously known as Weight Loss with a Side of Grace, Strength With Michelle is the same podcast with a new focus: helping women over 40 stop thinking about strength training and start making it part of their lives.

So grab that emotional-support water bottle, and let's get stronger.
