What happens when you completely reinvent your life at 42?

In this episode of Boss Bitch Radio, I sit down with Beth Feraco to talk about the life-changing decision that set everything else in motion. After quitting alcohol at 42, Beth rebuilt her life from the ground up - finding sobriety, discovering fitness, growing a successful coaching business, and helping thousands of women over 40 take control of their health.

This conversation goes far beyond fitness. We get honest about alcohol, menopause, hormones, fat loss, strength training, GLP-1 medications, social media, and what it really takes to create lasting change. Beth shares the lessons she's learned over the past 11 years and why the simplest habits are often the ones that make the biggest difference!

If you're navigating midlife, struggling to lose weight, feeling overwhelmed by menopause, or wondering where to start, this episode is packed with practical advice and real-life experience.
