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.

The 15% That Changed Everything for Me: Why Everyday Movement Matters More Than You Think

We’ve all heard that weight loss is 80% nutrition and 20% exercise — but what if I told you that only 5% of that comes from formal workouts… and the other 15% comes from simple, everyday movement?

In this episode, I’m sharing the story of how my own weight loss journey began after my back went out — when I couldn’t do structured exercise. I had to rely on nutrition and gentle movement throughout my day. And that’s when everything started to change.

You’ll learn: 💪 The difference between structured and non-structured movement 🏡 Why simple, everyday movement (like walking, standing, cleaning, and stretching) matters so much — especially after 50 🍳 How pairing movement with balanced nutrition creates lasting results 💡 Easy ways to add more natural movement into your day — no gym required

If you’ve been feeling stuck or believe you have to “work out harder” to lose weight, this episode will show you a more realistic, sustainable path — one that works with your body, not against it.

🎙️ Listen now and start seeing how small steps can create big shifts.
