What I want to share:
I’ve always been a bit all over the place—curious, interested in everything, asking a million questions. For a long time, that felt frustrating. Maybe it’s ADD, maybe it’s being a Gemini—but either way, I’ve learned to embrace it. It’s just who I am. And now, at 52, I feel a pull to create something more focused—something meaningful.
I’ve become deeply interested in women’s health, brain health, fitness, and what it really means to age well. As a personal trainer, I love working with women and encouraging strength training—not just for how we look, but for how we feel and function. There’s a real gap when it comes to accessible, supportive spaces for women in midlife. Too much information is locked behind paywalls, and too much of the conversation focuses on “anti-aging” rather than embracing aging in ways that build strength, confidence, and resilience.
I was 47 when the hot flashes started. I reached out to older women in my life, hoping for some real guidance—but no one really had answers. Mostly, I heard, “It’ll pass.” And honestly, that just made me feel more frustrated. I was sweating constantly—full body, completely out of my control. It felt overwhelming. So I started researching and trying to understand what was happening in my body. I learned about supplements like DHEA and Pregnenolone (I’ll share more on those later), and they helped! Coupling supplements with strength training was the real game-changer.
At the time, I had gained 20 pounds that wouldn’t budge, no matter what I did. So I made a decision: movement wasn’t optional anymore. My mantra became: It’s not if I work out today—it’s when. That shift gave me accountability, and exercise became a non-negotiable. Over time, and I mean like four years, things started to change. The hot flashes eased. I felt stronger. More grounded. More like myself again. (I also got divorced, and my kids left the house, so a lot changed). And nothing happened fast, the weight didn’t magically fall off—but I felt astronomically better.
And that’s what I want to share.
