If you’re a woman over 40 who’s tired of feeling like fat loss has to mean restriction, misery, or starting over every Monday—this episode is for you.

In this episode, I’m breaking down the 10 foundational habits that actually drive fat loss-without extreme dieting, cutting out all your favorite foods, or living in burnout mode.

These are the same habits I coach my clients on and practice myself. They’re simple, realistic, and sustainable-especially for women navigating busy lives, changing hormones, and real-world schedules.

We’ll talk about:

• Why liquid calories can quietly stall progress
• How protein, fiber, and hydration make fat loss feel easier
• The truth about tracking (even when it’s messy)
• Alcohol, dining out, and mindful eating- without guilt
• Why lifting weights and walking matter more than doing “more cardio”

This episode isn’t about perfection.
It’s about consistency, awareness, and habits you can actually stick with.

If you’re ready to fuel fat loss without losing your mind, press play.

🎧 Listen now and choose 2–3 habits to start implementing this week.

Last January, I set a simple- but uncomfortable- goal: walk outside every single day for the month.

Not for more steps.
Not for better fitness results.
But because I had gotten a little too comfortable staying inside.

Michigan winters don’t exactly make that easy. Below-zero wind chills, travel days, tight schedules- it took grit. But I did it. Every day. And then… I kept going.

What started as a 30-day challenge quietly turned into a habit.
Then an identity.
And eventually- a 365-day streak.

In this episode, I’m reflecting on my year of outdoor walks:
• The brutally cold days
• The travel days that required creativity
• The almost-midnight walks to “save the streak”
• And the moments that made it all worth it- sunrises, fall evenings, quiet woods, walk-and-talks, and miles with my dog and my family

But I’m also sharing something important: why I’m intentionally letting the streak end.

Because even healthy habits can become unhealthy when they turn rigid.
Because “all-or-nothing” thinking doesn’t just show up in dieting- it shows up in fitness, routines, and goals, too.

And because real, sustainable behavior change requires flexibility-not perfection.

If you’re heading into a new year thinking about habits, consistency, or becoming “a different version of yourself,” this episode will help you rethink what success actually looks like- and how identity is built over time.

This one isn’t about walking. It’s about who you become when you show up- imperfectly, consistently, and on purpose.

As the New Year approaches, a lot of women over 40 are already thinking about dieting harder, cutting more calories, and starting over again.

But what if the reason fat loss hasn’t worked in the past… isn’t you?

In this episode, we’re calling out the biggest fat loss myths women over 40 have been fed for years- the exact ones that show up every January and keep women stuck in the same cycle:

🚫 Starve yourself to lose weight
🚫 Lifting weights makes you bulky
🚫 Crash diets = long-term success
🚫 Your metabolism is doomed after 40
🚫 Do endless crunches to lose belly fat
🚫 All calories are equal
🚫 You have to give up your favorite foods

None. Of. This. Is. True.

If you’re heading into the New Year wanting real results—not another reset, detox, or short-term fix- this episode will help you unlearn the BS and finally adopt a strategy that works with your body, hormones, lifestyle, and age.

We’ll talk about what actually matters for fat loss after 40, why “trying harder” backfires, and how to approach the New Year with clarity instead of restriction.
