Ever feel like your body’s just stopped listening to you?
You’re eating clean, getting your steps in, trying to “do all the right things” and somehow, it’s still not working.

In this episode, I’m breaking down why that happens for women over 40 and what your body is actually trying to tell you when it feels like nothing’s changing.

This isn’t another lecture about willpower or motivation. It’s a real talk chat about what’s really going on with your metabolism, hormones, and energy during this stage of life.

We’ll talk about why the typical “eat less, move more” advice fails women in midlife, the real reason you’re not seeing results, and how to start working with your body again instead of fighting against it.

If you’ve been stuck, bloated, or just tired of feeling like your body’s betraying you, this one’s for you.

Let’s be honest:

Women have a complicated relationship with the bathroom scale.

We say that number is “just data,” but the truth is this…
When that number goes the wrong direction, it messes with our heads.

In this episode, I break down:

• Why daily weight fluctuations aren’t fat gain
  
  

• How the scale ties into identity and worth (even when we say it doesn’t)
  
  

• The real danger of letting the scale dictate success
  
  

• How to use the scale as one tool instead of a bully
  
  

• And what progress actually looks like for women in midlife
  
  

If you’ve ever let the scale ruin your day, this conversation is going to change the way you see it.
