Today you’re going to hear a real conversation with two women who decided to do this journey together. Not perfectly. Not obsessively. But together.

They talk about:

• Losing weight and inches of fat
• The accountability that comes from having a friend alongside you
• And maybe most importantly… how their "why" shifted

Because this wasn’t about “getting skinny.”

It was about:

• Getting stronger
• Feeling confident in their bodies
• Showing up for themselves in midlife
• And actually enjoying the process instead of white-knuckling it

So take a listen — not just for the results they’re seeing, but for the mindset shift, the laughter, and the reminder that fat loss doesn’t have to be lonely or miserable.

Today's Friday Extra Credit episode is short, honest, and meant to save you time, money, and a whole lot of frustration.

Today’s extra credit question is this: Are you trying to force fat loss… instead of support it?

I'll share a long list of gimmicks and gadgets women our age are influenced to purchase as the missing piece we need to lose weight. The problem isn't that any of these things are “bad” — the problem is you are trying to buy a fix and force fat loss instead of support or allow fat loss with simple foundational strategies.

Today’s mini lesson is on FORCE VS. SUPPORT.

If you’re a woman over 50 struggling with your weight and you’ve ever said—or thought— “Menopause broke my body,” or “Something must be wrong with me,” this episode is for you.

Because here’s the truth no one explained to us: Menopause doesn’t need to be fixed. It needs to be supported.

Today, we’re going to connect the dots between common menopause symptoms— like stubborn weight gain, low energy, poor sleep, brain fog, cravings, mood swings— and the nutrition, fitness, and lifestyle habits that can dramatically improve them. Not extreme. Not miserable. And definitely not “eat less and move more.”
