In this two-part conversation, I’m joined by my friend and fellow coach Sarah Hines, founder of Life Shines Big, a community for midlife and perimenopausal women. We’re diving deep into what it really looks like to start small, take care of yourself, and create a life that feels good — without waiting for the scale to change.

We talk about:

• How we met and what brought us together in this work

• Why starting small is the key to lasting change

• The role of self-help books, research, and curiosity in personal growth

• How the way we talk to ourselves shapes everything

• Seeing life as an experiment — learning to adjust and pivot

• What keeps so many women stuck

• The why behind weight loss (and why it’s never just about the number)

• Finding movement you actually enjoy — walking, mobility, stretching, and more

• Why being over 50 is NOT an excuse to settle for a so-so life

This episode is full of encouragement and real talk for women who want more energy, joy, and confidence — at any age.

🎧 Tune in and get ready to be inspired to make small, meaningful changes that last.
