    #169: Can You Build Muscle After Menopause?
    May 26 2026

    Can you actually build muscle after menopause? Or have you missed your window?

    This is one of the most common questions I get. And I think it comes from a myth a lot of women still believe: that strength training is for younger people, and maybe even dangerous once you're in midlife. After helping hundreds of women get started lifting, this is a myth I really want to talk about.

    In this episode I get into what the research really says about muscle and menopause, why so many women are doing the work and still seeing nothing change, and what your body actually needs from you now that it's not 20 anymore.

    If you've been wondering whether it's too late for you, listen to this one.

  • #168: What Tracking Revealed to My Clients About Their Diets

    #168: What Tracking Revealed to My Clients About Their Diets
    May 19 2026

    What if dieting was actually easier than you thought?

    When the women in my Summer Shape Up coaching group started tracking what they ate, every one of them spotted something they hadn't noticed before. One was already doing keto AND intermittent fasting, was already losing weight, and tracking STILL revealed something important about her diet she was missing.

    In this short episode I share their real discoveries and why tracking might be the most useful thing you've never tried.

    #167: Why Your Workouts Aren't Working Anymore
    May 12 2026

    Are the workouts that used to work not working anymore?

    I've been there. At 49, my body changed. I didn't recognize myself anymore. My toned, lean, athletic physique suddenly turned blobby. And it was horrifying.

    I was not ready to give up though. I figured out how to turn things around.

    In this episode I'll explain how I changed my workouts and changed my body!
