    The Consistency Conundrum: Navigating Health Habits Through Midlife’s Hormonal Changes

    In this episode, I’m joined by my dear friend and colleague Laini Gray for a dynamic conversation about reimagining consistency in midlife. Together, we explore how women can create sustainable health practices while navigating the complex terrain of hormonal changes. Key points from our discussion: Understanding the difference between rigid and flexible consistency, and why this distinction matters even more during perimenopause and menopause Practical strategies for adapting your health routines to work with your body’s changing needs, rather than fighting against them How to maintain momentum in your health journey while honoring the natural ebbs and flows of your energy and hormonal cycles The importance of building resilient habits that can flex and adapt as your body changes This conversation offers both practical tools and mindset shifts to help you approach consistency in a way that serves your current season of life. Whether you’re just entering perimenopause or well into your menopause journey, you’ll find valuable insights for creating sustainable health practices that honor your body’s wisdom.

    The Great Health Declutter: What to Keep & What to Let Go

    Are you drowning in wellness apps, expired supplements, and enough saved “life-changing” health articles to fill the Library of Congress? You’re not alone! In this episode, we’re tackling the elephant (or should we say the dusty treadmill?) in the room: health clutter. It’s time to Marie Kondo your wellness journey. A few things we explore in this episode: Understanding what health clutter is and its impact on midlife women Common sources of health clutter, from information overload to unused gym memberships A three-question decision-making framework for evaluating what to keep and what to let go Identifying and releasing less obvious forms of health clutter, including outdated commitments and draining relationships Strategies for gracefully letting go and creating a sustainable path forward If your wellness routine feels more complicated than assembling IKEA furniture blindfolded, it’s time for a change. The path to better health doesn’t require a PhD in nutrition or a master’s degree in fitness science – it just needs to be simple, sustainable, and true to you. Your future, less-overwhelmed self will thank you! You can listen here: https://graceandgrit.com/podcast-374 *** Loving the Grace & Grit Podcast?

    Your Body’s Dashboard: Understanding the Metrics That Drive Health w/ Laini Gray

    Looking to graduate from the “weight-is-everything” school of health tracking? Join me and my wonderful colleague, Laini Gray, for an eye-opening conversation about why your bathroom scale shouldn’t be your only health advisor (because, let’s face it, it’s not exactly giving you the full story). We’re diving into the metrics that actually matter for women in midlife – and trust me, it’s about so much more than the number staring back at you every morning. In this episode, we’ll explore: Why breaking up with your scale might be the healthiest relationship decision you make this year The real metrics that tell you how your body’s doing (hint: it’s not the scale) How to track your health without becoming a spreadsheet enthusiast Simple ways to measure progress that don’t involve pinching, weighing, or crying in the bathroom Whether you’re feeling frustrated with traditional health measurements or just ready for a more sensible approach to monitoring your wellness, this conversation will give you practical, evidence-based alternatives to the old “weight and wait” game. Get ready to discover what really matters in your health journey – no obsessive tracking required!

    From Fear to Freedom: The ‘What If’ Shift

    Let’s be honest—most of us are masters at playing the “what if” game. But instead of using it to imagine bold, exciting possibilities, we use it in a way that riddles with us with self-doubt and makes us hide from our potential: “What if I fail?” “What if everyone laughs at me?” “What if I accidentally become a meme?” In this episode, we’re flipping the script. Because, let’s face it, the fear-based “what if” game isn’t winning us any awards (unless there’s a prize for sleepless nights). Instead, I’ll show you how to play the version of the game that leads to courage, confidence, and so much possibility! We’ll tackle how to silence that inner critic and replace it with thoughts that move you towards the life you have imagined for yourself rather than away from it. So, grab your headphones and let’s turn those “what ifs” into your secret weapon for freedom and possibility.

    The Two-Step Formula for Midlife Health Mastery

    Early in my career, I believed that the key to improving my clients’ health—primarily midlife women—was to hyper-focus on diet and exercise. But as time passed, I realized this approach wasn’t delivering the lasting, meaningful results they truly deserved. Over a decade later, I’ve come to understand how this narrow focus was underserving them, holding them back from achieving the deeper health (cell to soul) they truly craved. In this episode, I’ll reveal the simple two-step formula I now use to help my clients elevate their health and well-being so they can live with greater power, purpose, and impact. Have a listen and consider sharing it with the women in your life who would benefit from hearing the message.
