    The Connection Between your Health and Wealth with Co-Host Chris Borsellino

    In this extra special episode, not only are we releasing it on Christmas (Merry Christmas if you're listening today!), but I'm joined by my husband, Chris, for a heartfelt and practical conversation about health, wealth, and everything in between. After 30 years together (yes, since high school!) and over 20 years of marriage, Chris and I have learned a lot about building a life, a family, and several businesses together. In this episode, we open up about our journey – the wins, the mistakes, and the lessons learned – especially when it comes to money, mindset, and financial health. Chris shares his expertise as a financial broker, and we both get real about the mindset shifts that helped us move from financial stress to confidence. Whether you're an entrepreneur, an employee, or somewhere in between, there's something here for you. Key Topics: Why health and wealth are so deeply connected, and how stress about money can impact your wellbeing (and vice versa) Our personal story: from being stuck in the "hamster wheel" to building multiple businesses and getting out of debt The importance of financial literacy, especially for women and entrepreneurs How we teach our kids about money, investing, and setting up for the future (even if you feel like you started late) The real deal on banks, RRSPs, TFSAs, insurance, and why having the right accountant can change everything How to spot "money leaks" in your life and business, and simple steps to plug them Why your financial plan should be as unique as you are – and how to start building one, no matter where you're at Chapters: 1:50 - Our Story: 30 Years Together 3:36 - Health & Wealth: The Connection  11:20 - Breaking the Hamster Wheel 12:14 - Financial Foundations & Money Leaks 15:38 - Long-Term Goals & Retirement Reality 27:03 - Investing Early & Teaching Our Kids 35:43 - Tax Strategies & Business Structure 49:50 - Building a Personalized Financial Plan    Let's dive in!

    Belly Fat, Inflammation and What's Driving Both

    In this episode, we're diving deep into one of the most requested topics: why so many women struggle with weight gain, hormonal shifts, and belly fat—especially as we move through our 40s, 50s, and beyond.   Key Topics: The real reasons behind changes in body composition and why "just doing more cardio" or "eating less" isn't the answer. The importance of building muscle, not just losing weight, for a tighter midsection and overall health. How lifestyle changes, hormonal fluctuations, and even being more sedentary than we realize can impact our results. Why advanced training strategies and a focus on progressive overload are key for women who are already fit but not seeing the results they want. The role of cortisol, stress, and recovery—including how to implement a "cortisol reset" and why rest days and nutrient timing matter. Practical tips for structuring your training, dialing in your nutrition (yes, you probably need more carbs!), and staying consistent for long-term results. My personal journey with body composition, muscle building, and the lessons I've learned through perimenopause and beyond.   Let's dive in! Thank you for joining us today.

The six foundational strength movements every woman should master: deadlifts, hip thrusts/glute bridges, rows, core stabilizers (planks, rotation), pushups, and squats (goblet, Bulgarian split, dumbbell). How to adapt your training as your body changes, and why rest and recovery are just as important as lifting.
