When Vanessa started Life Upgrade, she’d spent years feeling like she had to push through, hold everything together, and pretend she was fine… even when her body was telling a completely different story.
And hearing her speak now?
🎉 The shift is undeniable.
🎉 She didn’t just change her eating.
🎉 She changed her relationship with herself.
Her wins?
• feeling calm instead of chaotic
• eating without guilt
• no more all-or-nothing cycle
• confidence she hasn’t felt in years
• finally trusting herself again
This is what happens when you stop trying to “fix” yourself with diets and start upgrading the way your brain, body, and habits work together.
It’s not quick fixes.
It’s not perfection.
It’s learning how to actually live in your body again.
If Vanessa’s story feels familiar and you want support on your own journey…
comment LIFE or send me a message and I’ll share free tools you can start using right now.

“Why am I always so tired… no matter how much I do?”
This is why so many women over 40 feel burnt out ⬇️
👉 You’re doing everything for everyone else.
👉 Your nervous system is in constant overdrive.
👉 You’re running on caffeine and survival mode.
👉 You’re ignoring your body’s whispers until they scream.
👉 You were never taught how to actually rest.
This isn’t sustainable.
But it is fixable.
You don’t need more willpower.
You need a new way one that restores you instead of drains you.

Let’s be real — how many times have you set a New Year’s resolution… only to forget about it by Feb?
It’s not because you’re lazy or unmotivated.
It’s because you’re setting goals without doing the real prep work first.
Here are 3 powerful questions I ask my Life Upgrade clients before they set their goals each year:
1️⃣ Is this goal what I want — or just what I think I should want?
Stop setting goals based on guilt or trends. Choose what matters to you, not what looks good on a vision board.
2️⃣ Have I made actual space for this goal in my routine and mindset?
We’re busy. If your goal doesn’t have time or structure, it won’t happen. Simple.
3️⃣ Do I believe I’m the kind of woman who can actually make this happen?
If the answer is “not really,” that’s the work.
Because no plan works without belief behind it.
✨ Want to get off the start-stop rollercoaster this year?
I’ve created a beautiful (and super practical) 2026 Goal Planner to help you get clear, intentional, and finally follow through.

For years, January looked the same.
A new plan. A new “cleanse.”
A promise that this time would be different.
But a few weeks in…
the bloating came back.
The cravings crept in.
The energy dipped.
And you found yourself restarting all over again.
That’s when you realize
you don’t need more motivation.
You need a fresh internal start.
2026 isn’t about forcing willpower or chasing detox trends.
It’s about supporting your gut, calming inflammation,
and rebuilding trust with food the right way.
Imagine waking up without bloating.
Eating without guilt.
Moving through your day with steady energy and clarity.
If your 2026 goal is to finally feel good from the inside out,
this is your sign.
Comment “CLEANSE” to start safely, sustainably,
and break the cycle for good. ✨

You’ve probably been told the exact opposite of everything in this post…
But after helping 100s of women in their 40s+ lose weight without dieting I
can tell you this:
🤯 You don’t need to burn yourself out with cardio
🤯 You don’t need to track every bite or cut carbs
🤯 You don’t need to give up your favourite foods
What works?
✅ Eating enough to feel full + fuel your body
✅ Lifting weights and moving in ways you enjoy
✅ Simple meals and repeatable habits
✅ Support + accountability to keep going
This is what we do inside Life Upgrade, and it’s why my clients are losing 5-
15kg and keeping it off without dieting or feeling like crap.

Weight loss after 40 is a completely different conversation.
And this is why I’m so passionate about the work I do.
Once we hit our 40s, our bodies start changing in ways we were never prepared for. Hormonal shifts affect not just weight, but mood, energy, sleep, patience, motivation… everything.
I speak to women every day who say things like:
“I feel like I’m going crazy.”
“I’m angry all the time.”
“I don’t like anyone lately.”
“I don’t feel like myself.”
And then, on top of all that, they’re trying to follow a diet or plan that was designed for someone under 40.
Different hormones.
Different stress levels.
Different responsibilities.
Different nervous systems.
Those plans don’t account for this stage of life.
And they almost never include mindset.
Weight loss after 40 isn’t about pushing harder.
It’s about understanding your body, working with hormonal changes, and supporting your mindset so you’re not fighting yourself every step of the way.
You’re not broken.
You’re just in a different season.
And you need a different approach.

Remember the last time you tried to lose weight? You were exhausted, relying on caffeine, and crashing by 3pm every single day.
That’s not health that’s burnout disguised as discipline.
Here’s what my client said just a few weeks in:
💬 “I’m only a few weeks in and I already feel more energised. I’m not crashing at 3pm anymore and I haven’t touched an energy drink in 10 days!”
Weight loss is amazing.
But feeling good in your body? 👉 That’s the real win.
This is what happens when you support your hormones, your mindset, and your body without dieting. 💛

Healing isn’t about rules.
It’s about reconnection.
Start with gentleness, curiosity, and acceptance.
Your body will respond with trust finally.

If your current blood type is caffeine, this is for you.
The holiday hustle leaves you running on sugar, coffee, and adrenaline.
Sleep suffers, your brain is foggy, and your body feels sluggish.
I’ve been there so tired I fell asleep on the couch at my own family gathering. I realized it wasn’t just fatigue. I was under-nourished.
Energy doesn’t come from another coffee. It comes from the food you eat.
