You’re getting your cardio in. You’re eating well. You’re doing what used to keep you fit.
And yet your body suddenly feels like it’s playing by different rules.

The scale is creeping up.
Your jeans don’t fit the same.
That stubborn belly fat won’t budge.
And keeping up with work, life, and fitness feels exhausting.

That was me, too.

Doubling down on cardio left me with skinny arms and a puffy midsection. At the same time, I was balancing a corporate leadership role and traveling home to spend time with my dying mom. Long workouts weren’t realistic — and the trainers I worked with didn’t understand what my body needed in perimenopause.

I wasn’t chasing a six-pack.
I wanted steady energy, strength, and confidence — without sacrificing my career or life at home.

When I learned that my body’s needs in my 40s were different than in my 20s and 30s, everything shifted. I trained smarter, fueled my body properly, and stopped chasing exhaustion.

Now I sleep better, have consistent energy, and feel strong and capable. I even went on to win a Texas Master’s Boxing Championship in midlife.

Today, as a NASM-Certified Personal Trainer, I help women in midlife get toned, shed belly fat, and feel better in their bodies — without turning fitness into another full-time job.

Because fitness should work with your life, not compete with it.
