In this heartfelt and deeply personal episode, Kelly Dean reconnects with her longtime friend and colleague, Beth Learn of Fit2B Studio, for a powerful conversation on the transitions of life, aging, fitness, and self-discovery.
Both Kelly and Beth find themselves in a season of change—letting go of hands-on parenting, navigating the care of aging parents, and questioning the next steps in their careers and personal growth. Their conversation centers on the very real and relatable question: “What now?”
This episode is for anyone feeling like they’ve reached the “end” of a chapter—postpartum recovery, career burnout, caregiving exhaustion—and are wondering what comes next.
Key Takeaways:
- Life’s Transitions: Aging, empty nesting, and caregiving require adapting to new seasons with flexibility and self-compassion.
- Smarter, Not Harder: Progress in fitness and life comes from sustainable, individualized choices, not always pushing for more.
- Embracing Liminal Spaces: The in-between moments of uncertainty are opportunities for growth, even when progress isn’t visible.
- Resilience Through Choice: Voluntarily facing challenges, like a tough workout or life decision, builds strength and confidence.
- Permission to Pivot: It’s okay to say no, try new things, or step back to find balance in fitness and life.
