What if everything you’ve been told about confidence, desire, and pleasure in midlife is completely wrong? For so many women, midlife feels like a turning point—you’ve checked the boxes, followed the rules, and still wonder… is this it? In Episode 232: How to Own Your Power and Pleasure in Midlife, we’re diving deep into what it takes to break free from limiting beliefs, embrace confidence, and own your desires without apology. I’m joined by Sue Camaione, author of The Practical Seductress: How I Learned to Take My Hat and Run. She’s sharing her powerful journey of self-discovery, pleasure, and stepping into her full power. We talk about reclaiming pleasure and desire in midlife, shedding outdated expectations, and feeling confident and sexy after 50, even if you've been stuck in old narratives. Too often, women in midlife feel like they have to tone it down, play small, or shrink themselves to fit outdated roles. But what if this stage of life is actually your time to expand, own what you want, and live unapologetically? We break down the mindset shifts and real-life actions that make all the difference—reconnecting with your body, speaking up for your needs, or fully embracing the pleasure and joy you deserve. If you're tired of waiting for permission and ready to own your midlife confidence, this episode is for you. You’ll walk away feeling empowered to stop second-guessing yourself and start living boldly, thriving fully, and reclaiming your power. So, if you’re ready to step into your strength, claim your desires, and start living life on your terms, hit play now!

231. Finding Strength and Resilience During Uncontrollable Events 26:21

17 days ago26:21

26:21

Life is full of unexpected twists and turns. One moment, you’re managing your routine, tackling your to-do list, and feeling in control. And then, something happens—a phone call, a change in the weather, or news you weren’t prepared for—and suddenly, your world feels upside down. In Finding Strength and Resilience During Uncontrollable Events, we’re diving into what it means to navigate life’s most challenging moments with clarity and confidence. While we can’t control every curveball life throws, we can control how we respond. In this episode, I share personal stories, real-life examples, and practical tools to help you build resilience so you can stay grounded even when life feels uncertain. We’ll explore the emotional impact of unexpected challenges, why resilience is a game-changer, and how my S.P.A.R.K. framework can guide you toward clarity, action, and lasting momentum. We’ll also discuss how to build resilience after loss—whether that’s the loss of a loved one, a shift in identity, or a significant life transition. Acknowledging emotions like fear and frustration isn’t weakness; it’s the first step to finding strength during uncontrollable events. The more we understand our emotional responses, the more we can shift our mindset and focus on what we can control. Remember, life’s challenges don’t define you—how you respond does. Today, reflect on how far you’ve come and know that brighter days are ahead. Mentioned In The Show Episode 96.

38:55

Feeling like self-care is selfish? You’re not alone. For midlife women over 50, guilt often sneaks in and stops us from putting ourselves first. And let’s be honest—Why Self-Care Feels So Damn Hard for Midlife Women is something we’ve all wondered about. Here’s the truth: self-care isn’t about spa days or bubble baths. It’s about creating habits that help us thrive. Setting boundaries. Avoiding burnout. Showing up as our best selves. In episode 230, I’m joined by Lesley Logan, a second-generation certified Pilates teacher, author, and host of the Be It Till You See It podcast. Lesley is passionate about helping women prioritize themselves through movement, mindset, and self-care. She shares her journey of overcoming perfectionism and embracing guilt-free self-care. Her advice is simple: Focus on the basics—sleep, movement, and proper nutrition. These small but powerful habits create the foundation for thriving in midlife. We also discuss the guilt many women feel when prioritizing themselves. Lesley challenges this mindset head-on and reminds us that self-care isn’t selfish—it’s essential. When you take care of yourself, you can give more energy, love, and support to the people who matter most. Lesley shares practical tips to make self-care easier. Create a schedule that prioritizes you. Build habits that fit into your daily life. Ask for help when needed—and let go of the guilt. Self-care isn’t a luxury. It’s a necessity. Thriving in midlife starts with putting yourself first. Tune in to episode 230 to hear Lesley’s advice and learn how to make guilt-free self-care a regular part of your life!

6 weeks ago31:14

31:14

Ever feel like you’ve hit a wall and can’t figure out why your motivation has disappeared? Here’s the thing: losing motivation isn’t your fault. Motivation isn’t some steady, unshakable thing. It changes as we go through life, just like we do. What lit you up in your 20s and 30s might not feel right now, and that’s okay. Life throws us curveballs—work, family, caregiving—and sometimes it feels like there’s no room left for you. Add in sneaky traps like comparing yourself to others (or your younger self), trying to do everything at once, or waiting for the “perfect” moment, and it’s no wonder we feel stuck. But here’s the thing: losing motivation isn’t failure—it’s growth in disguise. In this episode, I’m breaking down why motivation fades, how to stop beating yourself up over it, and what you can do to feel excited again. Spoiler: it doesn’t involve drastic changes or all-or-nothing thinking. This episode is for you if you’re ready to ditch the guilt and rediscover your spark. Let’s talk about what really matters and how small, meaningful steps can make a big difference.

Maybe you’re searching for that spark—that extra push to finally put yourself first and see actual results. But what if it’s not about wanting at all but actually committing? Today, we’re diving into this big shift with Allan Misner, a fitness and nutrition coach for people over 40 who has been right where you are. He knows what it takes to turn the desire for change into real, lasting action. Together, we’ll explore his story, the lessons he’s picked up along the way, and some surprising truths about motivation that might flip your whole approach on its head. In this episode, I sit down with Coach Allan Misner. Allan is a NASM-certified personal Trainer, Precision Nutrition Level II Master Health Coach, and FAI-certified Functional Aging Specialist.

225. Building Strength Without Self-Judgement in Midlife 22:06

Ever feel like you’re showing up and putting in the work, but somehow, it doesn’t seem to add up? Building Strength Without Self-Judgment in Midlife can be tricky, especially when you’ve set a strength goal—like lifting heavier, trying a new move, or just feeling stronger every day—but it feels like no matter what you do, it’s never quite enough. Sound familiar? In today’s episode, we’re diving into that feeling we know too well: the self-judgment that sneaks in and makes us feel like we should be further along. We’ll unpack why this happens, especially for those of us in midlife, and how to let go of those 'shoulds' that don’t serve us. Instead, we’ll focus on a new way to look at progress that actually feels good. Take, for example, a recent conversation with a frustrated client about her pull-up progress. She found herself thinking, “I should be stronger by now.” And this wasn’t just about pull-ups; it was about that nagging feeling of “not good enough.” We often carry an invisible checklist of where we think we should be, which adds unnecessary pressure. In this episode, we’ll examine why “shoulds” are so common and how letting go of them can help us celebrate small wins. We’ll also discuss redefining strength as a physical measure, resilience, persistence, and showing up for ourselves. By the end, you’ll have simple, practical tools to shift your mindset, letting you celebrate the strength you’re building without frustration. This episode is about making fitness feel like a win for you—because you deserve to see and feel how far you’ve come. Tune in and start building strength with kindness and self-compassion. Take Action: If you want to become stronger mentally and physically, check out the Pursue Your Spark Blueprint.
