You feel like you’re always running on empty. You go through the motions without feeling a speck of joy, and at the end of the day, you’ve got nothing left to give except a laugh-snort at the idea of doing 10 squats during the commercial breaks. You’re quietly angry about feeling unseen and unappreciated, but don't know how to change it. You’re bombarded with negative messaging about aging and menopause, feeling powerless as you age—and you hate how all your clothes fit. You know you deserve to feel fit and healthy, and you’re ready to try something, ANYTHING, to change how you feel because deep down you know you need this.If that sounds like you, let's talk about creating a partnership that keeps you connected to your vision, not just your workout schedule.
