Hello Beautiful!

Is friendship supposed to feel this hard in midlife?

Whether you’re navigating an empty nest, moving into a new season of life, or just realizing that the built-in friendships from motherhood, work, or church aren’t there anymore—this episode is for you.

In today’s conversation, I’m joined by Cecelia Curtis, host of The Friendship Tour podcast, for a powerful and honest chat about what friendship looks like in midlife—and how to rebuild the kind of connection that truly makes life beautiful again.

We talk about:

• Why friendship shifts in your 40s, 50s, and beyond
• The emotional toll of losing built-in friendships
• How COVID and digital life changed the way women connect
• Myths we believe that keep us stuck in loneliness
• Practical, real-life ways to build meaningful friendships
• Why friendship is part of self-care and spiritual growth

Whether you’ve felt lonely, hesitant to reach out, or just unsure where to start—this episode offers real hope and fresh perspective.

XO,

Michelle

Hello Beautiful!

You don’t have to lose 20 pounds, change your whole wardrobe, or become someone else to feel confident again. In this episode, I’m walking you through a 4-part makeover framework designed specifically for Christian midlife women who are ready to stop hiding and start showing up — right now, exactly as they are.

We’ll cover: - Face: Skin, makeup & face exercise that lift without the needles - Body: Fueling instead of punishing - Style: Wearing what you want to highlight - Mindset: The most important shift that makes it all stick

I’ll also share a bit of my own story — and why weighing over 200 pounds doesn’t stop me from living fully, freely, and on purpose.

Grab your tea, hit play and let’s get back to living that beautiful life!

XO,

Michelle

Hello Beautiful!

Have you noticed your belly changing after 40—even though your habits haven’t? You’re eating well, trying to move more, maybe even squeezing in extra crunches or cardio, but nothing seems to work. That stubborn midlife belly fat can feel frustrating and defeating.

Here’s the thing: it’s not just about calories or willpower—it’s about hormones.

In this week’s episode, I sat down with Amy Bryan, host of the Fat Loss School podcast. Amy specializes in helping midlife women lose hormonal belly fat with strategies that actually work with your body, not against it.

Together, we talk about: ✨ Why belly fat shows up in midlife (and why it’s not just aging) ✨ The real connection between hormones, stress, and stubborn fat ✨ Why cardio and crunches don’t solve belly fat—and what does ✨ Simple, sustainable steps to balance hormones, build strength, and boost energy

This is a kinder way to lose belly fat—no fad diets, no punishing workouts. Just doable shifts that help you feel stronger, more confident, and more energized in this beautiful midlife season.

If you’ve been struggling with belly fat after 40, this conversation will give you the hope and tools you need to finally see change—and to start living more beautifully again.

Hello Beautiful!

If you’ve ever rushed past the mirror only to scan for flaws… or whispered something cruel to yourself you’d never say to a friend… this episode is for you.

Hello Beautiful!

Tired of watching wrinkles deepen—even though you’re using great skincare, sleeping well, and staying hydrated? The truth is, aging isn’t always the culprit. In this episode, I reveal the surprising role tension, circulation, and facial muscles play in how your skin looks and feels.

You’ll learn: - Why forehead lines, smile lines, crow’s feet, and sagging eyelids aren’t always caused by age - How facial massage releases tension and reawakens circulation for a natural lift - Why skincare alone can’t fix wrinkles (and what’s missing in your routine) - How facial massage works as a natural alternative—to Botox - Simple ways to start supporting your skin from the inside out

This is NOT about hour-long spa treatments with cucumbers on your eyes. 😉 Just a few intentional minutes a day can change how your face looks and feels.

If you’ve been searching for real anti-aging solutions that work with your face—not against it—this episode will open your eyes to what’s possible.

Hit play and let’s get back to living that beautiful life!

In this episode, we’re digging into:

• The emotional reason your closet feels overwhelming (and what to do about it)
• How to reconnect with your true style without shopping for a new wardrobe
• A simple mindset shift that’ll change the way you get dressed forever

You’ll also learn my go-to strategy to shop your own closet like a stylist and build a YES rack — even if nothing in your wardrobe feels right today.

• Simple, doable steps you can start this week to build stamina, strength, and vitality
• How living with more energy changes the way you show up in your family, your purpose, and your beautiful life

If you’ve been feeling drained, discouraged, or like your best days are behind you — this conversation will encourage you and give you hope that it’s not too late. Small steps can bring your energy back, and it’s never too late to start.
