Welcome back to Get Fit in Your 40s. I’m your host, Kosar, and today we’re diving into one of the most overlooked — yet powerful — topics for women over 40: mindset.

The internet is full of information about menopause, hormones, diets, fasting, and workouts. But very few people are talking about what’s happening mentally and emotionally when your body starts changing in your 40s — and how those thoughts can keep you stuck.

Have you ever woken up and felt like you don’t recognize your body anymore?
Stubborn belly fat appears out of nowhere. The diets and workouts that worked in your 20s and 30s stop working. You try harder, restrict more, and blame yourself — while your anxiety and frustration continue to grow.

In this episode, we talk about how hormonal shifts in perimenopause impact cortisol, anxiety, and emotional resilience — and why so many women over 40 are being diagnosed with anxiety or depression when their bodies are actually asking for a new approach.

We break down why quick fixes and crash diets backfire after 40, how negative self-talk and scale obsession keep women in a downward spiral, and why self-compassion and curiosity are essential for long-term success.

This episode will help you shift from:

  • “My body is broken” → “My body is changing”
  • “It’s too late for me” → “My timing is perfect”
  • Punishment and restriction → sustainable habits that work with your hormones

If you’ve been feeling stuck, frustrated, or disconnected from your body, this episode is your reminder that your body is not working against you — it’s asking for a new strategy.
