“I feel like everything is settling around my midsection.”
“I can’t get my abdomen to flatten.”
“I feel strong… but it’s not obvious.”

If that sounds familiar, this episode is for you.

So many women in their 40s and 50s feel frustrated when their waistline starts changing - even though they’re lifting weights, eating better, cutting back on alcohol, and doing “all the right things.”

Here’s the truth:
Your body isn’t broken.
But the strategy may need to shift.

In this episode, we’re breaking down:

• Why fat storage patterns change after 40
• The real difference between belly fat, bloating, loose skin, and weak deep core
• Why more crunches won’t flatten your stomach
• How cortisol, sleep disruption, and stress impact midsection fat
• The role of progressive overload in tightening your waist
• What your protein intake really needs to look like
• A simple 30-day reset plan to move forward with structure — not frustration

If your goal is better fitting jeans, more confidence in photos, or feeling strong instead of “just trying to lose weight,” this episode will give you clarity and a plan.

No detoxes.
No starving.
No starting over on Monday.

Just smart, sustainable strategy for women 40+ who are ready to train and fuel with intention.

If you feel like you’re crushing it Monday through Friday…
and then the weekend completely derails you - this episode is for you.

For so many women 45+, the cycle looks like this:

✔️ Structured during the week
✔️ Workouts done
✔️ Food tracked
❌ Weekend hits
❌ Structure disappears
❌ “I’ll start over Monday”

And that restart cycle? It’s exhausting.

In this episode, I’m breaking down 5 real reasons women over 45 fall off track on the weekends - and exactly how to fix them so you never feel like you’re starting over again.

We talk about:

• Why losing structure matters more after 45
• The sneaky “I deserve it” mindset
• How under-eating during the week sets you up to overeat on the weekend
• Social pressure and navigating events without guilt
• Why one “bad” meal turns into two “off” days
• How to use the “Next Best Choice” rule instead of spiraling

If you’re tired of the Monday reset…
If you’re frustrated that your body isn’t changing despite your effort…
If you want consistency without extremes…

This episode will give you a practical weekend strategy that actually works for this phase of life.

Because real results don’t come from five perfect days.

They come from seven intentional ones.

(Replay Episode) Lift Smarter, Get Stronger: RPE & Progressive Overload Explained for Women 40+

If you’ve ever wondered…

• Am I lifting heavy enough?
• Why am I not getting stronger—even though I’m consistent?
• How do I know if I’m actually challenging myself the right way?

This episode is your clarity.

Today, we’re breaking down two concepts that completely change results for women over 40: RPE (Rate of Perceived Exertion) and progressive overload-without overcomplicating things.

Inside this episode, you’ll learn:

• What RPE really means and how to use it in your workouts
• What an RPE 7, 8, or 9 should actually feel like
• Why strength and muscle gains happen in those final challenging reps
• How progressive overload works—without complicated programming or gym math
• Why “comfortable” workouts don’t lead to body composition change
• How to push yourself safely without burnout or injury

I also explain how we use RPE inside Inspire Fitness to help women lift confidently and effectively at home-no matter their age, experience level, or equipment.

You’ll walk away knowing exactly how to approach your lifts so you can build strength, muscle definition, energy, and confidence—without guessing or overdoing it.

If you want better results from your workouts, this episode is a must-listen.
