2026/02/19

Alright, Magic Makers… we are going there today. Intermittent fasting. Some people swear by it. Some people swear at it. And most midlife women are stuck in the middle wondering: 👉 Should I be skipping breakfast?👉 Is fasting helping my metabolism… or quietly stressing my body out?👉 And why does everything feel harder after 40? In this Fit Girl Magic episode, I'm joined by registered dietitian and diabetes care specialist Ashley Bazell to cut through the noise and give you the real, grown-woman

For years, you did what you were told. Eat less. Move more. More cardio. Smaller portions. Be disciplined. And for a while? It worked. Until it didn't. In this Fit Girl Magic episode, I'm sharing my own story as a former fitness competitor who spent nine years controlling every bite, every rep, every inch of my body… and what happened when menopause knocked me flat and the old strategies stopped working. If you feel like you're doing "all the right things" but your body isn't responding anymore,

Okay, let's be honest. You missed a day and your brain immediately went to "welp, guess I blew it" and now you're starting over for the 47th time this year. Yeah, we're stopping that today. This is bonus episode #1 supporting the Doable 26 - a 26-day habit experiment where you test one simple habit per day to find the 1-3 that actually fit YOUR life (not your trainer's, not your coworker's who loves 5 AM workouts, YOURS).

Ever notice how the more rules you add… the faster everything falls apart? Yeah. Same. In this Fit Girl Magic episode, I'm continuing the Doable 26 conversation and calling out the real reason most women over 40 feel "stuck" with their health. Psst.... it's not lack of discipline. It's doing too damn much. This isn't a how-to episode. It's a permission slip. We're talking about why: Checking all the boxes doesn't equal results "All or nothing" thinking keeps you spinning Consistency has nothing to

This is Part 2 of Doable 26, where we go deeper into why doing less actually works. If you want the backstory, Part 1 pairs perfectly with this episode. In this one, we're getting real about why "good habits" don't stick. It's not because you're lazy or inconsistent. It's because you're trying to do too much. We're talking about: Why checking all the boxes keeps you stuck How intensity pretends to be consistency What actually creates follow-through in midlife Why doing less is often the smartest

This Fit Girl Magic podcast episode is for you. If you're over 40 and stuck with stubborn belly fat, low energy, and a scale that refuses to cooperate, here's the uncomfortable truth I unpack in this episode: 👉 It's probably not because you're doing something wrong. 👉 It's because you're doing everything too right… using rules that no longer fit

Let's talk about January. You know… that time of year when everyone decides this is the year they finally "get it together." But if January diets actually worked… we wouldn't still be doing them every year, right? In this Fit Girl Magic episode, I'm calling out the real issue (hint: it's not your motivation, discipline, or willpower). It's timing. And after 40, timing matters a LOT more than trying harder. If you've ever thought: "Why does this feel harder than it used to?" "Why am I doing all the

If you've ever said, "My metabolism must be broken," this episode is your permission slip to stop blaming yourself. Because here's the truth: Your metabolism isn't broken. It's underfed, overtrained, and over the old diet games. In this Fit Girl Magic podcast episode, I'm breaking down why years of "doing it right" eventually backfire for women over 40 and why pushing harder is usually the exact thing keeping you stuck.

This winter, I'm not shrinking. I'm building. No crash dieting. No January panic. Just real strength and real momentum. Because here's the truth most women never get told: You cannot diet your way into better body composition. If you've been restricting for years, your body isn't broken… it's guarded. Muscle is the midlife game-changer: Stronger metabolism Better hormone support More energy Less joint pain More confidence in your body And the scale? It only shows gravity's opinion. That's it.

Back in my competition days, rest days weren't a thing. My "recovery" was half-assed yoga followed by guilt because I wasn't drenched in sweat. If I wasn't training six days a week with a side of cardio, I thought my gains would evaporate. Sound familiar? Fast-forward to today, I've softened my stance. Most women I coach are juggling work, kids, parents, and a full-on life. 90 minute workouts just aren't it anymore. So let's talk about how to get strong without burning out.
