This episode is a little more personal.

I’m talking about something so many of us carry quietly: the complicated relationship we’ve had with our bodies for decades. From pinching belly fat as a teen to being picked last in PE to trying to “fix” the things we don’t like… it’s a journey so many midlife women know all too well.

In this episode, I’m sharing my own story - how sports and strength training helped me shift from hating parts of my body to actually loving what it could do. Not just in the gym, but in everyday life. And why that shift matters more than ever now, as we age.

This is about more than aesthetics. It’s about seeing our bodies not as a problem to fix, but as a partner in the life we want to keep living - fully and actively - for decades to come.

If you’ve ever felt frustrated with your body but also proud of what it’s capable of, this one’s for you.
