I’m busting five of the biggest fitness and health myths that keep midlife women stuck, frustrated, and exhausted. If you’ve ever thought, “I'm destined to gain the menopause fifteen,” or “I have to do tons of cardio to stay fit,” this episode is for you.

I break down five common misconceptions about metabolism, strength training, cardio, and motivation — with evidence-backed truths that will help you feel strong, confident, and in control of your body.

By the end of this episode, you’ll know:

• Why midlife weight gain is not inevitable and how to maintain muscle.

• How one meal doesn’t derail your progress (and how stress about food can actually hold you back).

• Why strength training — not endless cardio — is the key to fat loss and healthy metabolism.

• Why lifting weights won’t make you bulky, but will make you toned, strong, and energized.

• How to start even when motivation feels impossible, and why small consistent steps win over perfection.

If you’re ready to bust the myths that keep you stuck and walk into the New Year stronger than ever, this episode is for you.

In this episode, I’m breaking down one of the most misunderstood topics in women’s fitness: the minimum effective dose of exercise. If you’re a woman in midlife who feels like you “don’t have enough time to make workouts worth it” or you’re constantly burning yourself out trying to do more… this conversation is going to shift everything.

I share exactly how much exercise you actually need to build strength, support fat loss, increase energy, improve mobility, and protect your bone density—without spending hours in the gym or living in an all-or-nothing cycle. As a midlife strength and weight loss coach, I see so many women assume they need long, intense workouts or daily cardio sessions to see results, and it’s simply not true.

Inside the episode, I walk you through:

• What the minimum effective dose really is

• Why midlife physiology makes “more is better” workouts counterproductive

• The science-backed weekly routine that delivers results

• How to overcome perfectionism and redefine what a “successful” workout looks like

• A simple, plug-and-play 2–3 day strength training plan you can start this week

• How walking, mobility work, and zone 2 cardio fit into the bigger picture

You’ll also hear a real client story about how she’s getting stronger, dropping inches, and feeling more energized—working out just two days a week.

If you’re ready to simplify your workouts, stay consistent, and finally get stronger in midlife without burning out, this episode is your new go-to.

Are you tired of saying yes when you really want to say no? In this powerful conversation, I sit down with leadership coach Robynne Weaver to explore the hidden costs of people pleasing—and why so many women, especially in midlife, struggle with it.

Robynne shares her own journey from the high-pressure events industry to coaching, where she now helps women recognize when people pleasing, perfectionism, and codependency are leading to burnout, resentment, and self-abandonment. Together, we unpack why women are socially conditioned to put everyone else’s needs first, how “being nice” is different from true kindness, and why discomfort is the currency of growth.

You’ll learn:

• What people pleasing really is (and what it’s not).

• Simple, practical tools to stop overcommitting—like Robynne’s rule of “no immediate yeses.”
