Have you been eating healthy, working out, and still wondering why the scale won’t move?

In this episode we’re talking about one sneaky little habit that could be slowing your progress: alcohol. That glass of wine at the end of the day or that no sugar seltzer your friend invites you to have. All of it.

I’m breaking down how alcohol impacts fat loss, why it can increase cravings, disrupt sleep, affect hormones, and make midlife weight loss even harder—especially for busy moms navigating stress and changing hormones in perimenopause.

But sister, this is not about shame or perfection! It’s about awareness, stewardship, and making empowered choices that align with the woman God is calling you to be.

We’ll also talk about scripture, self-control, and practical ways to support your goals without feeling restricted.

What if your strongest, most energized years are still ahead of you?

In today’s episode of The Strong & Courageous Mama, I’m joined by one of the most inspiring women I know—a 56-year-old GiGi who is living proof that it’s never too late to prioritize your health, build strength, and pursue longevity!

She shares her honest journey of wanting more energy, more strength, and a better quality of life—not just for herself, but for her family. Instead of chasing extremes, she committed to simple, sustainable habits through the FASTer Way's 3-week program—focusing on effective workouts and balanced nutrition that actually fit her life.

In this conversation, we talk about:
💛 Why longevity became her biggest motivation
💛 How simple, 30-minute workouts made a huge impact
💛 What changed when she started fueling her body properly
💛 The mindset shift that helped her stay consistent
💛 Encouragement for any woman who feels like it’s “too late”

Friend, this episode is your reminder: you are not behind. You are not stuck. And your health is still worth fighting for—at any age.
