About this listen

 Are you DONE feeling stuck, overwhelmed, unhealthy, going around in circles—but not sure where to start?

Whether it’s with stress, people-pleasing, overeating, alcohol, or unhealthy habits, you know it’s time for change——but figuring out how to take the next step toward taking back control feels overwhelming.

This podcast is for women over 40 who’ve reached that pivotal moment of saying, “I’m done.”

Each week, I’ll share stories, practical tips, and real conversations to inspire you and guide you toward a calmer, more balanced life that aligns with what you truly want.

Maybe you’re feeling trapped…ready to quit alcohol, stop overeating and let go of unhealthy habits that no longer serve you. If you’re ready to make the changes that you want in your life, this podcast will give you the tools and insights to take those next steps with confidence.

You’ll also hear from experts and guests who’ve been through their own transformations. They’ll share their insights and actionable advice so you can avoid the pitfalls they’ve encountered and conquered.

I’ll, of course, bring my own experience too - I’ve been through this journey myself. I know what it’s like to feel stuck, stressed out, unhealthy and unsure of how to move forward. Over the past 16 years, I’ve not only transformed my own life but also helped thousands of women over 40 navigate their “I’m done” moments and create healthy, fulfilling lives they love.

If you’re ready to move beyond “I’m done” and step into a life where you thrive, you’re in the right place.

    Episode 304: The Distraction, Time Suck + Trap That Is Work
    Feb 24 2026

    We give so much to work and leave so little time for ourselves. Why is that? Have you ever stopped to wonder why you work so much? Why you give so little thought and care to yourself?

    You work long hours, and then try to squeeze everything else into the few remaining hours of the day.

    In this solo episode, I explore why we hide in work, how it becomes a distraction and a time suck, and what it may be keeping you away from.

    Episode 303: Running On Empty, Doing It Alone & Mother Guilt
    Feb 18 2026

    In this episode I’m joined by Trisha and we answer three questions from listeners who are exhausted from carrying everything.

    We talk about rebuilding confidence after leaving an abusive relationship, imposter syndrome at work, stress, weight gain and coping habits, guilt when you’re tired, feeling lazy for resting, and being mentally fried from full-time work and parenting.

    If you’re doing it all, managing alone and quietly blaming yourself for struggling, this conversation will resonate.

    I’ve cracked it now — for myself, and as a fitness coach helping women show up to their workouts.
