Fit Girl Magic | Healthy Living For Women Over 40

I'm diving DEEP into the most underrated phase of fat loss: MAINTENANCE (aka the peaceful middle ground where your metabolism gets to breathe and your sanity comes back).

You don't need another diet. You need a reason to stop chasing skinny like it's still 1999. In this week's Fit Girl Magic podcast episode, I'm joined by Olivia Young—a coach who gets it. We both work with women who've spent years stuck in the “eat less, move more” loop… and it's just not working anymore. So we're doing what most people won't: we're having the real convo about what it actually takes to feel good in your body, without obsession. Here's what we get into:

If you're anything like me, you've spent more summers than you'd like to admit bouncing between being “on plan” or going completely off the rails—then beating yourself up for it. I used to believe that if I wasn't starving, sore, and checking every damn box on a to-do list, I was failing. In this Fit Girl Magic podcast episode, I'm calling BS on all of that. I'm sharing how I went from obsessive meal prep and gym workouts on vacation (yes, I was that girl) to actually enjoying my life and making progress. It's all about what I call my Non-Negotiables—a few simple habits I can take with me anywhere that keep me grounded, sane, and consistent no matter what life throws at me. What I Dive Into: Why extreme doesn't equal effective (and never did) The “perfect plan” lie that kept me stuck for years The 1–3 habits that helped me feel free, not frantic How I let go of the guilt around fun foods like rosé and ice cream How I learned to reflect instead of self-destruct “Fun isn't failure. One fun meal doesn't cancel out a week of consistency. But beating yourself up? That will knock you off track.”  If you're over 40 and done with starting over, this one's for you. No more chasing perfect. It's time to build a lifestyle that can hold up when life gets messy (because it always will). Want in on the Unsexy Summer Shred? This is my 8-week challenge for women who want to build real, repeatable results using boring-but-powerful habits. Nothing extreme. Just sanity, sustainability, and success.

Ever feel like you're crushing life… until life crushes you right back? You're meal-prepping, showing up for workouts, answering emails faster than ChatGPT, helping your kids survive college admissions, and wondering why you are running on fumes. You're not lazy. You're not broken. You're just burned the hell out. In this episode, I'm joined by Coach Ellen Schinke, burnout expert, high-achiever whisperer, and fellow recovering perfectionist, to break down what burnout really is (hint: it's not just being tired) and how to spot it before you're face down on the floor wondering if wine counts as a self-care strategy. We get into: The 4 types of burnout (yes, there's more than one!) Why your brain won't shut up at night (hello, overthinking) The sneaky ways you're numbing with "healthy" habits How to ditch the pressure for balance and aim for sustainable badassery What self-compassion actually looks like (spoiler: it's not bubble baths and mantras) Whether you're running on caffeine and cortisol or just feeling off lately, this conversation will give you the words, awareness, and tools to pull yourself out of burnout and back into your body. No guilt. No shame. Just real talk, real tools, and a reminder that doing less doesn't make you less.

Ever found yourself in a hospital room Googling “all the medical mumbo jumbo that you just heard from five different people in white coats? Or maybe you've sat there silently, praying someone would just translate what's happening to your mom or spouse? You're not alone. Hospitals can be overwhelming AF. When our loved ones get admitted, we're handed forms, not answers. We're expected to trust the process, even when our gut says something's off. And let's be honest—half the time you don't know who's in charge, what your rights are, or how to get your questions answered without being labeled “that family member.” That's why I'm happy to have Dr. Julie Siemers—nurse, educator, and medical truth-teller with 40 years of experience on the Fit Girl Magic podcast to teach you Hospital Survival 101. She's pulling back the curtain (and yep, throwing a little polite sass at the system). You'll learn how to advocate for your loved ones, speak the secret hospital language, and not be dismissed like a confused extra on Grey's Anatomy. Grab your notebook, open your Notes app, or just hit play and soak this in—because this episode might literally save a life.

Hey Magic Makers — let's talk about how the scale might be doing you dirty! Let me guess you are eating “clean,” tracking your food, working out when you can, and still feel like the scale is mocking you? You're not broken… but your metabolism might be straight-up exhausted. In this kickoff to the Metabolism Reset Series, I'm breaking down why your “eat less, move more” strategy isn't working anymore — and what's actually going on behind the scenes (hint: it has a LOT to do with stress, muscle loss, and hormonal chaos). Here's what we're diving into: ▶️ Why 1,200-calorie diets are wrecking your progress ▶️ What your body's really doing when you're “doing everything right” ▶️ Why strength training is your midlife BFF ▶️ The unexpected stress that's slowing your metabolism ▶️ What holding patterns, hormone shifts, and burnout really feel like ▶️ And how to tell if your metabolism is waving the white flag (

Feeling stuck AF? You're not broken — your intuition's just been on mute. Today, I'm chatting with the amazing Isabel Chiara to uncover how to stop sabotaging yourself, trust your gut again, and actually nourish your mind, body, and soul — without feeling like you're a DIY project that needs constant fixing. We're swerving off the usual path and getting real about what's actually driving your behaviors. (Hint: It's not your willpower, it's not your macros, and it's definitely not a broken metabolism.) Inside this episode, Isabel and I dig into: ✨ Why ignoring your gut keeps you stuck (and how to trust it again) ✨ How one playground insult can haunt you for decades (and how to finally let it go) ✨ How to shift your vibe from "I suck" ➡️ "I'm magical AF" ✨ Why the scale needs to lose your number (and how to break up with it for good) ✨ How “nourish” became Isabel's power word for radical mindset shifts ✨ The real reason you reach for unlimited carbs (spoiler: it's not because you're weak)   PLUS — Isabel shares her Nourish App — a simple, powerful way to rewire old patterns without spending the next 10 years in therapy. (She's even giving you a FREE month to try it out — don't sleep on this!) If your brain's been stuck on the same struggle-bus loop, this episode is the permission slip you didn't know you needed.

300 episodes?! I KNOW. I can't believe it either. Today, I'm throwing confetti, having a moment, and keeping it as real as ever. In this special milestone episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on the actual behind-the-scenes of building and sustaining this podcast—no highlight reel BS, just truth bombs, bloopers, breakdowns, and breakthroughs. Whether you've been here since Episode 1 or found me while Googling “How can I lose belly fat?”—this one's for YOU. I break down: my struggle with imposter syndrome and why I almost didn't start this podcast The power of temper tantrums (and how to not set up camp there) Why I gave up the hustle life and picked a pace I could actually keep How I treat consistency like my ride-or-die (not some flaky ex named motivation) My boring AF but needle-moving routines (spoiler: protein and planning FTW) Why sprint-to-the-finish-line diets set us up for disappointment The REAL strategy behind lasting results after 40—and why boring is the new sexy Boundaries, rest, and refusing to answer emails on Sundays (even when I'm bored) And the number one lesson: You don't need to be Beyoncé… you just need to start Plus, I'm sharing how I coach, how I don't coach, and why your sustainable path forward isn't a one-size-fits-all bootcamp. This isn't just a celebration. It's a roadmap. It's proof that progress doesn't always look sexy—but showing up does the trick every time. Hit play and let's get into it.

If you think health has to be hard, restrictive, and basically suck the joy outta life—this episode is your wake-up call. I'm joined by Justin Nault, founder of Clovis (and one of the very few dudes I've let crash the mic), and trust me—he earns his seat. He and I talk food freedom, telling diet culture to go pound sand, and finally learning how to feel unbothered by what other people think even if it's your inner mean girl. We cover:

In this Fit Girl Magic episode, I'm talking all about when you're saying,  “I'm fine, everything's fine” when everything is not as fine as you want it to be. Yeah, this vibe might be the very thing blocking your weight loss, stealing your sleep, jacking your mood, and wrecking your energy like a toddler on a sugar bender. I'm breaking down the hidden stressors you've been brushing off as “just how life is”—but your body's waving red flags like it's landing planes on the runway. I'm talking:

If you've ever wondered whether fasting is your golden ticket or just another wellness trend that will leave you frustrated—this episode is for YOU. I sat down with Renee Fitton from Prolon to break down intermittent fasting vs. fasting mimicking—and spoiler alert: yes, there's a difference, and yes, it matters, especially if you're a woman in perimenopause or menopause. Renee and I dove into: How the Prolon Fasting Mimicking Diet gives you food and the benefits of fasting (without white knuckling your way through the day) Why five days is the sweet spot for fat loss, inflammation, and muscle protection What the hell “autophagy” is and why it's like a Dyson vacuum for your cells How you can turn back the biological clock—for real—in just 15 days a year What happens after the 5 days (spoiler: don't sprint to 7-Eleven for chips and wine) The one big fasting mistake women over 40 keep making We talked why your metabolism is not mad at you and how Prolon makes it dummy-proof with everything you need in one box. No Googling. No guesswork. Just results. Key Takeaways: Fasting mimicking = food without breaking the fast = results without wrecking your hormones Too much of a good thing? Still too much. (Yes, even fasting.) Your muscle is your metabolism. Don't lose it trying to lose fat. You only need to do this 3x a year for noticeable longevity and fat-loss benefits Refeeding = just as important as fasting.

Ladies, we are NOT here for workouts that leave us exhausted, burnt out, and questioning all our life choices.

If you've ever wondered why your two-hour gym sessions aren't giving you the results they used to—or if you're struggling to find time for fitness in the chaos of midlife—this episode is for YOU. I'm breaking down how to train smarter, not longer, and why it's time to ditch the gym bro splits in favor of workouts that keep you strong, energized, and ready to chase those grandkids (or at least keep up with your overly active Golden Retriever).
