  • The Confidence Gap - Why Capable Women Still Doubt Themselves
    Oct 30 2025

    Let's talk about confidence.
    Not the loud, flashy kind, but the quiet, steady kind that lets you walk into a room and know you belong there.

    Because here's the truth:
    Most women I know… successful, smart, strong, capable women, still question themselves.
    They wonder if they're good enough.
    If they're qualified enough.
    If they should speak up, take the lead, or go for that next step.

    And it's not because they lack ability, it's because they've learned to doubt it or have been taught to be small… lets unpack this!!

  • Permission to Evolve
    Oct 24 2025

    Hey there, and welcome back to "Own Your Shift" The space where we get real about navigating your 40s and beyond with humor, honesty, and a whole lot of self-awareness. I'm your host, Virginia Bain, mom, wife, corporate leader, and fitness expert and I'm here to help you own the shifts that come with becoming your best self, inside and out.

    You know, one of the hardest things about growth, isn't actually the growing.
    It's realizing that the person you used to be doesn't fit anymore.

    Maybe it's the version of you who said yes to everything.
    The one who poured into everyone else and left herself empty.
    The one who hustled for approval, or believed rest was lazy.
    The one who once fit perfectly into a certain role, or identity, or dream — and now… doesn't.

    And that's okay.
    You're not flaky. You're not inconsistent. You're evolving.

    And today this is exactly what we are going to discuss.

  • Nutrition Rules I Actually Live By
    Oct 2 2025

    Nutrition is noisy. Everywhere you look, there's a new diet, a new 'hack,' or a new food you're apparently supposed to eat every day. And honestly? Most of it's overwhelming. Today I want to cut through the noise and share the simple nutrition rules that I actually live by… rules that keep me strong, lean, energized, and sane.

    And let me be clear, I am not about complicated diets or rules that no one can stick to. What I'm going to share today are the nutrition principles I personally follow day in and day out. They're not flashy, but they work.

    so let's dive in!

    as always, if you liked this episode share it with a friend. If you need nutritional help or exercise programming send me a message.
