Episode 47 - Why I No Longer Focus on Weight Loss (and Why It’s Time We All Stopped)

In this powerful and honest episode, I’m sharing why I’ve completely shifted away from focusing on weight loss in my coaching—and why it’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made, both for myself and my clients.

We, Gen X women, were raised on diet culture. From the 20 Minute Workout to cabbage soup diets, we were taught that smaller was better, cardio was queen, and our value was tied to the number on the scale. But menopause changes everything—and those outdated rules don’t just fail us now, they were never meant for us in the first place.

We’ll dive deep into:

• Why most diets are not only ineffective but dangerous
• How the “ideal body” is rooted in anti-Black racism and white supremacy
• What menopause does to our metabolism, hormones, and mindset
• And why body neutrality and acceptance are the key to lasting health and freedom

I also introduce my upcoming 6-Week Midlife Glow Up—a transformative program that’s not about shrinking your body, but expanding your confidence, your strength, and your power.

If you’re done with dieting and ready to feel strong, seen, and supported this summer, this episode is your invitation.
