Ladies… have you ever looked in the mirror and thought, "Ummm, excuse me, body?! What the actual heck is happening?!" 😂

You're eating healthy, working out, doing ALL the things, and somehow your jeans are getting tighter, your sleep is a hot mess, and your hormones have apparently decided to throw a party without inviting you.

WELL, FRIENDS… this episode is for YOU! 💕

On this episode of Everything's Messy Podcast I'm sitting down with the amazing Lindsey Mathews AKA @trainerlindsey, a certified strength and conditioning specialist with over 20 years of experience, and we're getting REAL about perimenopause, weight gain, hormones, gut health, stress, and why what worked in our 20s and 30s might not be working anymore.

And here's the kicker… even Lindsey, a fitness professional, found herself navigating unexpected weight gain and hormonal changes!

We talk about her personal healing journey, why eating LESS isn't always the answer, how chronic stress can wreak havoc on our bodies, and why sometimes we need to stop pushing harder and start giving ourselves a little more grace.

We're getting messy about:

• 🔥 Perimenopause and why our bodies suddenly feel like strangers
• 💪 Why working out harder and eating less might be backfiring
• 🦠 Gut health, hormones, blood sugar, and the bigger health picture
• 😴 Sleep, stress, and the power of slowing the heck down
• 🥑 Why nourishing your body matters more than punishing it
• 🚶‍♀️ Simple daily habits that can make a big difference
• 🍪 Surviving the holiday season without food guilt or an all-or-nothing mentality
• ❤️ Learning to work WITH our changing bodies instead of fighting them

My biggest takeaway? Our bodies aren't the enemy. They're trying to tell us something, and maybe it's time we started listening.

Whether you're in your 40s, approaching perimenopause, already in the thick of it, or simply wondering why you feel so different lately, this conversation is full of perspective, practical tips, and reminders that you're not alone.

So grab your coffee, your walking shoes, or maybe that third load of laundry you forgot to fold (no judgment here 🤣), and let's get into it!

Because life is messy, hormones are messy, and we're figuring it out together.

📚 PLUS, Lindsey has a NEW BOOK coming out! Perimenopause Fitness and Nutrition For Dummies is available for PRE-SALE NOW and starts shipping December 2nd!

Oh, here we go again! 🍂 The BRRR months are rolling in, the clocks are about to do their little time-change dance, and suddenly it's dark before I've even figured out what I'm making for dinner. Seriously, who approved this?!

In this episode of Everything's Messy Podcast, I'm talking about how to keep our health, energy, and sanity somewhat intact as the seasons change. Because shorter days, colder weather, and messed-up sleep schedules? Yeah, that's a whole vibe… and not necessarily a good one.

I'm sharing simple, realistic ways to support our bodies through the seasonal transition without adding another 47 things to our already overflowing to-do lists.

Here's what I'm getting into:

• 😴 Sleep, glorious sleep! Why keeping a consistent sleep routine matters when the clocks change.
• ☀️ Chasing the sunshine: How getting outside for natural light can help support our internal clocks, mood, and energy.
• 🥑 Feed your body, not just your cravings: Nourishing foods that help us feel our best when comfort food is calling our names.
• 🍁 Seasonal self-care: Little habits that make a big difference when the days get shorter.
• 💛 Giving ourselves some grace: Because wellness isn't about being perfect. Thank goodness, because I'd be in trouble.

I'm keeping it practical, relatable, and just a little sarcastic, because life is messy enough without turning self-care into another full-time job.

So grab your coffee, tea, or whatever's keeping you functioning, and let's figure out how to survive the BRRR months feeling a little healthier, a little happier, and hopefully a lot less exhausted.

🎧 Hit play, follow Everything's Messy Podcast, and share this episode with that friend who's already ready to hibernate until spring!

Because life is messy, wellness is a journey, and we're figuring it out one chaotic season at a time. 💛

Keep it messy....

Can we talk about how absolutely EXHAUSTING it is to feel like we're supposed to have it all together?

The perfect career. The perfect relationships. The perfect health. The perfect attitude. Oh, and we're supposed to be happy while juggling all of it? Seriously?!

In this episode of Everything's Messy Podcast, I'm getting into something that's been on my mind lately: the difference between happiness and fulfillment. Because what if living a fulfilling life doesn't actually mean being happy all the time?

I'm talking about finding purpose in ordinary moments, recognizing that our definition of success changes as we grow, and learning to embrace the unfinished versions of ourselves.

And here's something I really want you to remember: You can be a work in progress and still have a beautiful, meaningful, fulfilling life.

We're also talking about why our basic needs matter, why compassion is so important when life gets hard, and why comparing our journey to someone else's is a losing game.

Because, friends, normal is overrated. And maybe the mess isn't something we need to fix before we can start living.

Maybe it's part of the journey.

So grab your coffee, throw on those comfy pants, and let's get messy!

A little reminder: You don't have to have everything figured out to live a fulfilled life.

If this episode resonates with you, share it with a friend who needs to hear that she's doing better than she thinks. And don't forget to follow Everything's Messy so we can keep navigating this beautifully messy life together.

Keep it Messy 💕
