The Badass Reset Club

Who decided that women over 40 or 50 can't wear certain clothes? And why the hell are we still listening?

Our bodies change. Our careers evolve. Our kids grow up. And somewhere along the way, we look in our closets and wonder, Who am I dressing for these days?

This week on The Badass Reset Club, I'm joined by personal stylist and founder of The Closet Edit, Tannya Bernadette, for a fun, honest conversation about midlife style, body confidence, and breaking the fashion rules that have been holding women back for way too long.

Because here's the thing: Just because your body is changing doesn't mean you need to start hiding it under oversized sweaters or live in leggings for the rest of your life. (And trust me, I love my leggings!)

Tannya has spent 18 years helping women rediscover their personal style, and she's sharing why getting dressed isn't just about looking good. It's about feeling confident, showing up for yourself, and embracing the woman you are TODAY.

We're getting into:

• Why midlife is the perfect time to reinvent your personal style
• How to dress your changing body without waiting to lose 20 pounds
• Why "Am I too old to wear this?" is a question we need to stop asking
• How to be comfortable AND look put together
• Why so many women lose their sense of style during life transitions
• The connection between what you wear, your confidence, and how you show up at work and in life
• Why I was once told my sleeveless tops were "unprofessional" onstage. Seriously, what is this, 1956?

We also talk about letting go of outdated expectations, finding clothing that fits the body you have right now, and why one great outfit can change the way you carry yourself into a room.

Whether you're navigating menopause, a career change, an evolving body, or simply staring at a closet full of clothes wondering what the hell to wear, this episode is for you.

Had your hand in the Halloween candy bowl a few too many times? Same, friend. If you’re wondering how to get back on track after too much sugar and keep healthy habits through the holidays, this episode is for you. No punishment workouts, skipped meals, or waiting until January required.

In this episode of The Badass Reset Club, Heather Yancey shares practical holiday nutrition and fitness tips for women in midlife. Learn how to navigate sugar cravings, support steady energy, and enjoy your favorite holiday treats while staying consistent with the habits that help you feel strong and confident.

We’re talking about protein at every meal, fiber for digestion and fullness, pairing carbohydrates with protein and fat, and taking a simple 10-minute walk after meals. Plus, why keeping your strength training routine matters more than trying to “burn off” what you ate.

Heather also gets into nighttime snacking, mindful eating, hydration, hunger cues, and why a temporary jump on the scale after holiday eating doesn’t mean you need to restrict everything. You’ll hear simple ways to make your environment less tempting and choose treats intentionally, including one question with a little Seinfeld-inspired attitude: Is this actually worth it?

Whether you’re navigating healthy eating in midlife, getting back to your routine after Halloween, or planning for Thanksgiving and December celebrations, these habits can help you enjoy the season and feel good in your body.

The holidays are a few days on the calendar. They don’t need to become two months of putting yourself last.

Thanks for listening, whether you were folding laundry, going for a walk, or whatever other multitasking you were getting after. I am having so much fun sharing and connecting with you, badass!

What does physical strength have to do with your career? More than we usually talk about.

In this episode of The Badass Reset Club, I’m digging into why strength training matters for busy, high-performing women, especially in midlife. We talk about muscle as capacity, not just aesthetics, why strength supports career longevity and everyday performance, and why you do not need hours in the gym to make progress.

I’ll also cover the importance of progressive overload, how to keep strength training simple when life and work are demanding, and why investing in muscle now can pay off for decades.

Because career longevity is not only about keeping your skills current. Your body has to support the life and work you are building too.

Menopause at work is about much more than hot flashes. For many women, perimenopause and menopause can bring changes in sleep, energy, brain fog, concentration, mood, recovery and physical comfort- right as they’re stepping into some of the most demanding years of their careers.

In this episode, Heather Yancey explores how menopause can show up in workplace performance and leadership, including her own experience managing severe challenges in perimenopause while trying to do her job.

We’ll talk about what high-performing women can do to support their health, strength and energy, and what HR leaders, employers and women’s ERGs can do to create better workplace support without lowering the performance bar.

Because women’s health and workplace performance are not separate conversations.

Topics include: menopause at work, perimenopause, women in leadership, brain fog, fatigue, sleep, strength training, recovery, workplace wellness, women’s health, HR and women’s ERGs.

You’re getting everything done but you’re exhausted, overwhelmed, and running out of patience. Sound familiar?

For midlife women juggling careers, family, and everyone else’s needs, this is a practical conversation about workload, boundaries, recovery, and protecting your energy, because another weekend of catching up isn’t the reset you need.

How do you stay fit while traveling without letting workouts take over your vacation? In this episode of The Badass Reset Club, Heather shares a short, practical guide to travel fitness, vacation workouts, and staying active on the road-from trying new classes and running new routes to using whatever gym is available. You’ll get simple ideas for keeping up with strength and cardio, making movement part of the adventure, and using travel as a chance to get outside your comfort zone. Fitness professionals...you will hear why taking other instructors’ classes can spark new ideas, improve coaching, and reconnect you with what it feels like to be a beginner.

Fitter does not have to mean smaller and if your pants are getting snug while you’re strength training, that might be the best sign you’re actually doing it right. Heather Yancey delivers a blunt midlife reset on what women have been taught to celebrate, and why it’s time to stop treating clothing size like a fitness scorecard.Using a client story about building muscle, getting stronger, and protecting bone health, Heather breaks down the real reason your legs or glutes may take up more space when your training is working. This is the conversation women rarely get: the difference between shrinking and becoming capable. You’ll discover:

• Why tighter pants can signal muscle gain, not failure
• How progressive overload changes body composition without relying on the scale
• Why glutes, quads, and other lower-body muscles matter for long-term independence
• How resistance training supports bone density, mobility, and longevity
• Why muscle is metabolically useful, especially in midlife

Heather also challenges the old fitness script built around “tone,” “lean out,” and “lose the last 10 pounds,” replacing it with a more powerful question: are you smaller, or are you stronger? She reframes the goal from disappearing to building the kind of body that can carry groceries, climb stairs, hike farther, travel, lift, and keep saying yes to life.If you’re tired of measuring progress by the waistband and want a smarter, stronger standard for fitness in your 40s, 50s, 60s, and beyond, this one will hit hard. Essential listening for any woman ready to build muscle, protect her bones, and stop apologizing for taking up space.

Cellulite, bright shorts, and zero apologies. In this episode, Heather shares how turning 50, hiking the Grand Canyon, running the NYC Marathon, and chasing magical mountaintops changed the way she saw her body. We’re talking about why fit women still have cellulite, how confidence is built by doing hard things, and why it’s time to stop waiting for perfect. Inspired by Robin Arzón’s message, consider this your official invitation to join the Wear the Damn Shorts Club.

Most of us overlook the real purpose of fitness - it’s not just about looking good or hitting numbers on a scale. Heather shares how her recent weekend in a 200-mile relay race taught her that the true goal is building a resilient body capable of LIFE’s unexpected adventures. When your body is prepared, every challenge becomes an opportunity, from racing to chasing grandkids or bouncing back after a fall. In this episode, you'll discover:

• Why training is about more than aesthetics - it's about freedom to say yes to adventures
• How every workout, from strength to mobility, prepares you for real-life obstacles
• The surprising connection between performance and overall health, not just athletic achievement
• Why neglecting strength, cardio, or recovery shifts the ‘miles’ you can handle onto others or your future self
• Practical steps to tune your body for everyday life, so you’re always ready to respond, recover, and thrive

Heather breaks down how performance is a health skill that empowers you to live fully-whether that’s hiking a waterfall, helping a loved one, or just keeping pace with life’s surprises. The difference between merely surviving and truly thriving lies in training your body to carry you through whatever comes next.Perfect for women tired of chasing perfection and ready to feel confident and capable in their everyday lives, this episode will shift your perspective from aesthetics to FUNCTION. Heather’s inspiring insights remind us: it’s not about perfect workouts; it’s about creating a body that makes every moment richer.If you’re ready to move beyond vanity metrics and build a resilient, capable body that lets you say “yes” to your next adventure - this episode is your wake-up call. Because in the end, the goal isn’t to look better...it’s to live better.
