If you’ve ever felt like it’s “too late” to feel strong again this episode will change your perspective.

In this powerful conversation, I’m joined by Lydia Magnoli, founder of The Magnoli Method a movement helping women (especially 40+) reconnect with their bodies, rebuild strength, and rewrite the narrative that aging means decline.

Lydia’s story is real: she got sober at 24, walked away from a secure career as a school psychologist, and built her business rep by rep through consistency, boundaries, and deep self-trust. This isn’t just about workouts. It’s about the woman you become when you stop abandoning yourself and start showing up especially when life feels uncomfortable.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Lydia’s rock bottom and sobriety journey (and how it changed everything).
• Why fitness over 40 doesn’t need to be complicated and what actually works.
• The hidden reasons women hold onto weight (trauma, nervous system, fear of being seen).
• How to stop using food, over-exercising, or people-pleasing as coping mechanisms.
• The mindset shift that builds real strength: train your mind first, the body follows.
• Boundaries, self-worth, and why “no” is a complete sentence
  What rising really means after a breakup, grief, and reinvention
  Lydia’s upcoming book, live events, and how she’s becoming “hope in human form”.

If you’re in your 40s (or heading there) and you’ve been told “this is just what happens” more weight, less energy, more aches Lydia is here to remind you: that narrative is not the truth.
