After I had my first baby, I was the smallest I’ve ever been.

5kg lighter than I am now.

Everyone told me how great I looked.

But the truth is, I was exhausted, depleted, and a shell of myself.

That experience changed the way I think about weight. Because what I realised is… you don’t actually care about the number on the scales. You care about how you feel in your body.

The scales are a distraction. They don’t tell you whether you’re getting stronger, building muscle, feeling more confident, or having more energy.

This week on the podcast, I’m breaking down one of the biggest myths I see women over 40 still battling with:
👉 the role of strength training in weight management.

Why cardio isn’t the full story.
Why “toned” actually means muscle.
And why strength training is the missing piece so many women overlook.

If you’ve been stuck in that old 90s mindset of “burn more calories, do more cardio,” this one’s for you.

I’ve always wanted to like yoga… but I felt too awkward, too inflexible, too far behind.

So I avoided it. Told myself I was “a Pilates person” instead.

But lately I’ve been doing short sessions at home - not to be good at it, just to feel better.

And it’s reminded me:

We don’t hate moving.

We just hate the feeling of not being good at it yet.

That’s allowed. And it gets easier.

If strength training is your yoga - I’ve got a free plan to help you start.

Forget before and after photos that shrink you.

This is my kind of transformation - the kind that happens in the middle of a messy day.

👉 3pm slump.
👉 In between Clients.
👉 Brain fried.
👉 Coffee or movement?

I chose 10 minutes of GLOW10.
No plan, no pressure. Just a few dumbbells and a decision.

This isn’t about looking different (although that happens too). It’s about feeling different; calmer, stronger, more like myself.

Because when you train for energy instead of exhaustion, everything shifts.

And yes, even 10 minutes can flip your day on its head.

Let’s have a little chat about weighted vests and women’s bone health.

Firstly, weighted vests aren’t some magic shortcut. They’ve been around for decades, but evidence supporting their benefits is still limited.

Here’s what most people forget:
👉🏻 If your body isn’t ready (i.e you have injuries, pelvic floor issues, low back pain, knee joint pain), adding weight can backfire big time.
👉🏻 Building foundational strength, balance, and impact is where the magic happens. Weighted vests are like a cherry on top, not the sundae.

So, what’s the takeaway?
⭐️Start with the basics.
⭐️Build a strong, resilient body first.
⭐️Consider your goals and what else is going on in your body.
⭐️Use tools like weighted vests to complement your journey- not replace it.

Have you ever tried a weighted vest? Or maybe you’ve been curious but unsure?

Share your thoughts in the comments, and if you’ve got a friend who’s been talking about this trend, send this their way. Because what else are friends for? 💙

We can do better as health professionals.

And chances are, you can do better too- not by trying harder, but by learning what YOU actually need to succeed.

Most plans just give you the what.

But without structure, support, and strategy, it’s no wonder most women end up “falling off the wagon.”

That’s exactly what I’ve built into my new Everyday GLOW Program.

Yes, there’s a plan. But more importantly, there’s a system to help you follow through - and adapt it to your season of life.

If you’re ready for something that sticks, not just something to start over again and again… this is for you.
