• Why rest is essential for creativity, focus, and sustainable fat loss

In this episode of the Muscles and Mindset Revolution Podcast, Coach Anne Jones breaks down a frustrating but common reality: you’re eating clean, maybe even working out… and still gaining weight in your 30s or 40s.

Anne reveals what’s actually slowing your metabolism (spoiler: it’s not age), and the three most common mistakes healthy women make that unintentionally lead to fat gain, muscle loss, and burnout.

You’ll learn:

• Why muscle loss—not age—is the hidden driver behind weight gain
• How undereating and overdoing cardio backfire after 30
• What to do instead to stop the gain—and finally feel like yourself again
• How real clients reversed midlife weight gain without tracking, restricting, or burning out

If you’ve gained 10–15 lb despite doing everything “right,” this episode is your wake-up call and your next step.

💥 Anne’s private 1:1 coaching project is now accepting applications specifically from six women who have gained 5-10 lb in the past few years despite 'eating clean.' DM the word ENOUGH on Instagram @annejonesfit or click here to apply.

🕒 Episode Breakdown:

• 00:00 – Struggling with weight gain even while 'eating healthy'
• 00:48 – Why metabolism doesn’t slow the way you think
• 02:56 – The real culprit: loss of muscle, not age
• 03:17 – Mistake #1: Undereating calories & protein
• 04:25 – Mistake #2: Over-relying on clean eating & cardio
• 06:54 – Mistake #3: Ignoring hunger cues, stress, and recovery
• 09:10 – What to do instead: strength, fuel, recovery, mindset
• 11:34 – Final thoughts & private coaching invitation

In this raw, unscripted episode of The Muscles & Mindset Revolution Podcast, we explore the life-changing impact of being honest with your yeses and nos.

I share personal stories—from soul-sister friendships to coaching conversations—that reveal how direct communication and clear boundaries create deep trust in your relationships. Whether it’s your partner, your team, your parents, or your best friend, knowing when to say “no” (without guilt) and “yes” (with full alignment) is one of the most powerful self-leadership skills you can build.

You’ll learn how to:

• Use honesty as a trust-building tool (not a conflict starter)
• Let go of emotional gymnastics and people-pleasing
• Recognize how saying “yes” when you mean “no” dilutes your identity
• Navigate the discomfort when others don’t like your boundaries
• Prioritize ease, peace, and real connection—without losing yourself

If you’ve ever felt like a “puddle of yes,” this episode is your reminder that protecting your peace is never selfish—it’s sacred.

00:00 – Welcome to The Muscles & Mindset Revolution

00:34 – Why this episode is unscripted (and inspired by my best friends)

01:01 – What it means to be authentically direct

01:53 – How trust is built through honest communication
