Are you starting to think about your wellness plan for 2025? If so, you might be asking yourself: Should I focus on cardio or strength training? It’s a common question, especially for women over 50, and the answer isn’t as simple as you might think.

In this episode, we’ll break down why both cardio and strength training are essential for your health, from keeping your heart strong and preventing heart disease to maintaining lean muscle mass and avoiding the effects of aging like sarcopenia. If you’ve only got 20-30 minutes a day, we'll talk about splitting your time wisely and create a routine that fits your life—and your longevity.

Don’t wait until January to get started; your future self will thank you! Tune in and let’s build a plan that works for you.

After an eight-month hiatus, I'm back on the mic, diving into everything that's happened since March. From leaving a 35-year career to jumping into the plumbing franchise world with my husband, this year has been nothing short of a wild ride.

I'm sharing all the ups, downs, and lessons learned about managing big life changes, staying healthy during the grind, and making yourself a priority when the demands of work and life feel overwhelming. If you've ever wondered how to juggle self-care, career, and family—or just need a reminder to give yourself some grace—this episode is for you.

Let's reconnect, reflect, and navigate midlife together!

Do you wear your stress like a heavy jacket that you never take off? Does it keep you from doing the things you know you need to do for your midlife health? Does it cause you stress eat or skip your workouts?

You wouldn't be alone. Being stressed and skipping workouts is a vicious cycle. One you need to break. Because when you workout, your stress levels ebb and you feel better. And when you feel better, you eat better. It's a much healthier cycle. One that is very important in our midlife.

Get in here and hear about all stress and cortisol levels and how exercise could be the solution you are looking for.

Why do so many – and not just midlife women – struggle with their health, with their fitness, with making nutrition a priority? Especially when they know that focusing on these things will bring them overall vitality and longer life?

I’ll tell you why. Because it is hard to do all the right things, especially when we’ve been conditioned that things that inherently bad for us feel or taste so good. Instant gratification rules.

Many people sign up for better health and are willing to do what is necessary …. Until it becomes uncomfortable or inconvenient. Has this been you in the past?

Let's talk about it today! And then get our midlife bodies moving!
