I said what I said I’m probably going to piss some people off…But hear me out: Weight loss can actually be simple. Not magical. Not effortless. But simple. And for women over 40, simplicity is exactly what your body needs. The problem? The diet industry has spent decades convincing us that weight loss requires suffering, restriction, and jumping through hoops. I believed it for years too. I thought I needed to eat less, move more, and constantly “try harder.” But when you wip

For a long time, the holidays were a stressful time for me. Even when I wasn’t actively struggling with an eating disorder, the season would stir up anxiety—pressure to eat “perfectly,” endless family gatherings, and the constant swirl of expectations. I still remember one Christmas in particular: I was standing in the kitchen, staring at a plate of cookies, feeling torn between enjoying them and fearing I’d “ruin” everything I’d worked for. Add in the wine and festive cockta

I want to start this with something honest — the version of me who I've created StrongHer 30 for wasn’t the grounded, confident, aligned woman you see today. She was doing her best… but barely keeping up. She was pouring into everyone — her boys, her husband, his business, her home — and grabbing whatever tiny pieces of herself she could find between the chaos. And even though I’ve been in the fitness and wellness world for years, there was a period where I felt lost inside m

Black Friday is here. And with it comes the tidal wave of once-a-year deals, doorbusters, “today only” discounts, and countdowns that make you feel like you’re missing out on the deal of a lifetime. Everywhere you go — from your inbox to your Instagram feed — the message is the same: Buy now. Don’t miss it. It’ll make your life better. But there’s one type of investment most people won’t  make this time of year. And it’s the one that actually would  change their life. We’ll S

Healthy, Simple, and Family-Approved Eating healthy doesn’t have to mean cooking separate meals for yourself and your family. I know what it’s like to want to hit your goals while also feeding hungry kids (and a husband who swears he’s “not eating diet food” ). The truth is — macro-friendly meals can be satisfying, delicious, and simple enough for busy weeknights. These five dinners are balanced with protein, carbs, and healthy fats to keep your energy steady, your hormones h

A few months ago, I started ending my day with three words: I am proud of you. It started as part of my bedtime routine — just a few minutes of deep breathing before sleep. I’d lie there, eyes closed, and notice how my mind immediately went to what I didn’t do that day. What I forgot. What still needed fixing. That was my pattern for years — constantly looking at the gaps instead of the gains. No matter how much I did, it never felt like enough. So I decided to c

You start strong every Monday — new routine, new promises, new motivation. By Thursday, you’re tired, behind, and telling yourself you’ll start again next week. Sound familiar? A few of my favourite books If you’ve ever felt frustrated wondering why you can’t seem to stay consistent , you’re not alone — and it’s not because you’re lazy or undisciplined. After 40, life looks different. You’re managing more responsibilities, your energy shifts, and your body and brain don’t res

Journal Entry – January 29, 2021 “I literally forgot I had a soul. I lost me.” I want her back so badly — but where do I start? What do I do? I have no idea, but living like this is no longer an option. Every day feels like a loop — wake up, get everyone ready, work, drive to activities, cook, clean, sleep, and repeat. This isn’t what I asked for. This is so far from what I want. I am so tired. So broken. My bones ache. I can’t remember the last time I felt joy — I’m not even
