If you’re a woman over 40 who feels stuck in the cycle of starting over with weight loss, workouts, or healthy habits, this episode is for you.

In this episode, we talk about what real consistency actually looks like (hint: it’s not perfection), why all-or-nothing thinking keeps you stuck, and how habits built with grace lead to lasting weight loss, more energy, and confidence.

We also dive into why quick fixes and extreme approaches don’t work long term — especially during perimenopause and menopause — and how accountability can change everything.

You’ll learn how to stop restarting, build habits that stick, and finally move forward without pressure or burnout.
