I’ll be your teacher and guide to show you that losing fat and gaining energy - plus maintaining it long term - is truly possible even at our age. I know because I’ve been there. In my 30s & 40s, I did all the diets, tried all the gimmicks, over-exercised, lost and gained the same pounds over & over. At 50, I had accomplished so much - except in this one very important area - and was through wasting time and energy on temporary fixes! This podcast will teach lifestyle changes to shed the fat in a healthy way that you can sustain long term and change your health trajectory so you age with energy, independence, and confidence.

And that is a GREAT reason to join. But somewhere along the journey, something shifts. They realize what they actually want isn’t just weight loss. They want fat loss. And here’s the discovery that shocks almost everyone: Not all exercise targets fat loss. Strength training is THE most effective way to target fat loss. It also preserves muscle so your metabolism doesn’t slow down as you lose fat. Muscle burns more calories — even at rest. So you don’t just get smaller… you get leaner and stronger. And that means you can sustain the loss long term. I wish I could change every woman’s mindset to this: Instead of working so hard to lose weight…Work to gain muscle. You’ll get a better aesthetic result. You’ll keep the fat off longer. You’ll be stronger. And you’ll live independently longer. I don’t know a single woman who wants to become tiny and frail as she ages. We want to be strong, independent, mobile, and maybe a little sassy. So here’s the question leading our lesson today: Are you strong enough? In today’s episode, I want to shift your thinking from getting smaller through weight loss… to getting stronger and watching fat loss become the side effect.
