Tired of feeling like every day is diet season?
It’s not your plan — it’s your timing.
Press play and find out what season your body is really in.

If you’ve been treating every single day like it’s fat loss season, we need to talk. In this Fit Girl Magic episode, I’m breaking down my Weight Loss Seasons Framework, winter build, spring downshift, summer maintain-and-live-your-life, and fall recalibrate, so you can stop running on the all-or-nothing hamster wheel.

I’ll show you how to zoom out, look at your year, and match your workouts and nutrition to what’s going on in your life right now. No more pretending you can train for a marathon when life’s only giving you 5K energy.

You’ll hear my own pivots, my clients’ “aha” moments, and why your plan isn’t broken, it’s just in the wrong season. Plus, how to stop spiraling when things don’t go as planned (because, spoiler: they won’t).

No gold stars for grinding. No guilt for changing gears. Just a realistic strategy that works with your life instead of against it.

Press play, figure out your season, and finally start working with your body instead of putting it in a headlock.

If you’ve ever opened the fridge, stared blankly, and considered making cereal again for dinner… this one’s for you.

In this Fit Girl Magic podcast episode, I’m joined by the magical Allison Schaaf, a combo of registered dietitian and trained chef, to tackle the #1 question I get from clients:

“What the heck do I cook?!”

We chat about:

Why meal prep doesn’t have to mean sad boiled chicken and hours in the kitchen

How to plan dinner without crying or calling for takeout (again)

The myth of the “perfect prep day” and what to do instead

Why variety doesn’t mean complicated

Plus… how Allison went from personal chef to helping thousands with her easy-as-heck meal plans

And yes, we also talk about goat feed and Brussels sprouts. Naturally.

If you’re ready to stop letting dinner boss you around, press play now.

Ever feel like your health goals are playing hide-and-seek every time life throws a curveball before your coffee even gets cold?

You're not alone.

In this episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on the real reason your “plan” might not be working anymore, and spoiler alert, it’s not because you’re lazy, unmotivated, or lacking discipline.

Here’s what we cover:

✅ Why trying to get it perfect is keeping you stuck (and what to do instead)

✅ How your old strategies are sabotaging your current reality

✅ The difference between “falling off” vs. simply evolving

✅ Why good-better-best beats all-or-nothing

✅ What to do when you feel like your workouts, meal prep, or sleep keep dropping off the radar

And the best part? I’m building something juicy for women over 40 who are done with the one-size-fits-all, diet-y BS, and I want YOUR input.

Would you mind taking a few minutes (seriously, it’s that quick) to fill out this anonymous survey and tell me what you really need → https://forms.gle/geXov2ymEfg3Gdwf6

If you include your email, I’ll even send you a little treat, a free cup of coffee on me ☕ (because you’re a queen and deserve it).

You’re doing everything “right” and your body’s still like… nope.

Can’t drop the weight.

Can’t sleep.

Can’t stop yelling at your husband for breathing too loud.

If you’ve ever blamed your hormones but couldn’t explain which ones or why this episode is your wake-up call. I brought in hormone ninja Becca Chielankowski to break down the real hormone hierarchy (spoiler: insulin gets VIP access, not estrogen), why inflammation might be the real villain, and what’s ACTUALLY driving your “fluffiness” in midlife.

Becca and I cover:

• Why it’s not just estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone
• The metabolic chaos of overtraining and undereating
• HRT myths, misfires, and must-know truths
• How cortisol got unfairly labeled the villain (and why it’s not)
• The non-sexy foundations that actually fix your hormones
• And yes, why less hustle might save your health (gasp!)

This is the conversation every midlife woman needs to hear before Googling another supplement stack or fasting protocol. Because guess what? The long way really is the shortcut.

If we were besties sipping coffee (or wine, let’s be honest), and I wasn’t afraid of hurting your feelings, this is the conversation we’d have.

This episode? It’s for the woman who says she’s “stuck,” who’s tired of tracking every bite, who keeps saying “I just need to get back on track” without asking what that even means anymore.

⚠️ Spoiler alert:

Your plateau isn’t punishment. Your metabolism isn’t broken.

But your beliefs? They might need a full-blown rewrite.

We’re burning the old rule book and building a strategy that fits your real life not your fantasy version from 20 years ago.

Tune in for:

✅ What to do when “get back on track” feels like code for burnout

✅ Why your pace is perfect (and how to stop being pissed about it)

✅ 1–3 non-negotiables that actually work—even during hockey season, tax season, or total chaos

✅ What I’d tell you if you argued for your limitations one more damn time

Hit play and let’s get honest. Because you’re not broken, you’re just tired of doing too much for too little.

If this hits home, share it with your ride-or-die who needs to stop dipping her toe into quick fixes and finally dive in goals that actually work for you.

Welcome back to the third episode of our Metabolism Series – and today, I’m tackling the one topic that gets everyone in their feelings: FAT LOSS. But let’s be clear… I’m not talking crash diets, cabbage soup, or “skinny by Saturday” nonsense. I’m talking fat loss done right.

If you're a woman over 40 who’s been dieting harder than a 2000s fitness competitor and still not seeing results, this episode is your permission slip to break up with the BS and start playing the long game.

Inside this episode, I’m breaking down:

• Why your obsession with the scale is tanking your results
• What it actually means to change your body composition
• The 12–16-week fat loss phase (and why you should treat it like a season, not a lifestyle)
• Why that 1–2 lb per week “rule” is total trash
• How to wade into fat loss like a rockstar (without mourning your almond butter)

Plus, you’ll get the real scoop on why slashing calories, skipping meals, and fasting your face off is the exact opposite of what your perimenopausal body needs.

Spoiler: There is a better way. And it starts by finally stop bullying your body and start to treat it like the partner it is.

Bonus: I’ve got a Metabolism Quiz linked below that’ll tell you exactly what phase you're in right now—fat loss, maintenance, or reverse. No more guessing, no more Googling.

And if you’re tired of white knuckling your way through another diet plan, grab my upcoming Metabolism Reset Guide to start building a sustainable fat loss roadmap that actually fits your real life.

Hit play, grab a notebook (or your favorite protein smoothie), and let’s get real about what it takes to get results at this stage of life, without burning out, bingeing, or blowing up your social life.

Because my queen, fat loss isn't forever… but freedom from diet drama? That’s the goal.

Is Your Metabolism Tired AF https://www.fitgirlmagic.com/metabolism-makeover-_podcast

FREE Guilt Free Alcohol Guide https://www.fitgirlmagic.com/alcohol_evergreen_2025podcast

Ladies, if money talk makes your eyes glaze over... or you secretly worry you’re “bad” at it... this is THE episode for you.

I’m bringing in my girl Tess Smith, a financial educator who is the exact OPPOSITE of some stiff suit yelling on TV. (No jargon. No shame. No calculator required.)

She’s keeping it SIMPLE and real, because money stress is one of the biggest weights we all carry… especially in midlife. And Magic Makers, you deserve better than flying blind or feeling stuck.

In this fun conversation, we cover:

✅ Why “bougie broke” is keeping too many women trapped (good bye Stanley cup)

✅ The sneaky ways we’re held hostage by money beliefs

✅ How to build financial freedom, yes, even if you feel like its “too late”

✅ Why having a million bucks isn’t the only way to retire well

✅ What your 401k should actually be doing for you (and what Tess wishes every woman knew)

If you’ve ever said:

“I’m bad with money…”

“I missed the boat…”

“I’ll figure it out later…”

…it’s TIME to listen. This could change everything.
