Losing weight in your 40s is not the same as losing weight in your 20s, and if you’ve been feeling frustrated, discouraged, or stuck, you’re not imagining it.

In this episode, I’m sharing my personal journey of losing around 20 pounds naturally, without dieting, medication, or extremes — and the mindset and lifestyle shifts that actually made it sustainable. We talk honestly about why motivation doesn’t last, what my trainer taught me about protein and nourishment, and how to work out without stressing your body, joints, or nervous system.

I break down my realistic approach to clean eating and organic whole foods, reflect on what Susan Powter taught so many of us about food and empowerment, and explain why low-impact workouts can be incredibly effective in midlife. We also dive into the realities of perimenopause, including insulin resistance, visceral fat, blood sugar crashes, and why the “rules” from our 20s no longer apply.

I also open up about my personal experience with fibroids, weight gain, and the stubborn stomach bulge that so many women quietly struggle with — along with how fast food, stress, mental health, and the way we talk to ourselves can impact our progress more than we realize.

Inside this episode, I share:

• How to adjust your routine when you feel overwhelmed (without quitting)
• A simple food hack to stay on track on busy or hard days
• My secret sugar substitute tip and how to avoid crashes
• Why blood work matters, including iron deficiencies
• My favorite grass-fed protein supplements
• The role fiber plays in weight loss
• How I use the 80/20 rule without all-or-nothing thinking
• An “excesses” hack for eating out, parties, and special occasions
• 
  

This episode isn’t about perfection or punishment. It’s about learning how to support your body in this season of life — calmly, compassionately, and in a way that actually works long-term.

Remember… the more you know, the more you glow.

As we step into 2026, I wanted to take a moment to slow down, reflect, and share what’s next — not just for this podcast, but for the way we approach beauty together.

In this New Year episode, I’m opening up about how the podcast is evolving, why I’m making a few intentional changes, and some big news I’ve been so excited (and a little nervous) to share. This next chapter feels more aligned, more grounded, and more honest, and I think you’ll feel that shift right away.

We’re also getting back to the basics when it comes to skincare. Not trends. Not hype. Just what actually matters if you want healthy, resilient skin, especially as we move through our 40s and beyond. I’ll be sharing the skincare principles I’ll be focusing on going forward, why simplifying your routine can be so powerful, and how consistency, barrier support, and intention make all the difference in achieving real beauty goals.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the beauty industry, disconnected from your routine, or ready for a reset that feels supportive instead of stressful, this episode is for you.

Here’s to a new year, a clearer path, and choosing what truly serves us — skin, heart, and soul.

Remember, the more you know, the more you glow. 💛

What if the way you speak to yourself is quietly shaping the way you look?

In this Beauty Sermon, Jentri shares the powerful “I AM” principle taught by Dr. Wayne Dyer and how it directly affects your confidence, your nervous system, and even your skin. We talk about why focusing on what you don’t want, like wrinkles, aging, or comparison, actually keeps you stuck there, and how shifting your identity first is what creates real, visible change.

We also unpack the illusion of social media perfection versus real life, and why comparing your behind-the-scenes to someone else’s filtered highlight reel can disconnect you from your own beauty and possibility.

This episode is a gentle but empowering reminder that belief comes before evidence, and that your glow begins in your thoughts long before it shows up in the mirror.

Glow Note: Stop letting what you see deny what you’ve already decided in your spirit. You don’t believe it when you see it — you see it when you believe it.

The more you know, the more you glow!
