    5 Mistakes You Might Be Making on Your Health & Fitness Journey

    Send a text Most women aren’t failing at their health goals — they’re just operating with incomplete (and often misleading) information. In this episode, I break down five common mistakes I see over and over again on women’s health and fitness journeys — especially in midlife. Not from a place of blame, but from context. We talk about: Why “doing everything right” still might not lead to progressHow decades of diet culture and conflicting advice created confusionWhy sustainable health isn’t about extremes, deadlines, or restrictionAnd what actually works when you focus on awareness, skills, and consistencyNothing in this episode is flashy or extreme — and that’s the point.  This is about building a health approach that fits your real life and lasts. If you loved today’s conversation, I’d love for you to take the next step with me! You can explore my Midlife Magic Membership at www.michellebazinet.com — it’s where women just like you learn how to thrive in midlife with confidence, strength, and ease.

    Slow Growth, Deep Roots: Why Sustainable Health Takes Time

    Send us a text We’ve been taught that health should happen fast — fast results, fast changes, fast proof that we’re “doing it right.” But what if the reason your progress feels slower in midlife isn’t because you’re failing…  What if it’s because you’re finally building something that lasts? In this episode, I explore the idea that slow growth creates deep roots — and why that matters so much for women in midlife. We talk about how diet culture has trained us to chase speed, why that approach rarely sticks, and how shifting your focus to stability, systems, and self-trust leads to sustainable results. If you’ve ever felt like you should be further along by now, this conversation is for you. If you loved today’s conversation, I’d love for you to take the next step with me!

    This Is What I Believe About Health

    Send us a text In this episode, I’m sharing something different. Not a strategy. Not a checklist. Not another “do more” approach to health. This is a spoken manifesto — a clear statement of what I believe about health, especially in midlife. I talk about why: Trying harder isn’t the answerWillpower breaks down when life gets fullWhat used to work often stops working in midlifeConsistency comes from systems, not disciplineExtreme rules lead to burnout, not sustainabilityStrength — physical, mental, and emotional — is foundationalStress, sleep, and emotional load are not side notesYou don’t “fall off” — your system defaultsI introduce the idea of a Health Operating System — and why midlife requires an upgrade, not a reset. This episode is for women who: Know what to do but can’t stay consistent anymoreFeel frustrated or confused by changes in their bodyAre done blaming themselvesWant a calmer, more sustainable way to care for their healthIf health has felt like a constant battle, this episode is an invitation to see it differently — and trust that nothing about you is broken.
