Fit Girl Magic | Healthy Living For Women Over 40
Hey Magic Makers — let’s talk about how the scale might be doing you dirty! Let me guess you are eating “clean,” tracking your food, working out when you can, and still feel like the scale is mocking you? You’re not broken… but your metabolism might be straight-up exhausted. In this kickoff to the Metabolism Reset Series, I’m breaking down why your “eat less, move more” strategy isn’t working anymore — and what’s actually going on behind the scenes (hint: it has a LOT to do with stress, muscle loss, and hormonal chaos).

info_outlineGrief… It is a tough subject, but in the last few years, given everything we have gone through, we need to talk about this. No one, throughout our lives, has sat us down and told us how to deal with grief. It is just not something that is brought up to prepare you to go through. Many of us think we don’t need to deal with this until down the line. But Krista St-Germain sat down with me to talk to us all about this, and how it happened to her at a young age! At the time, she didn't have the resources or support she needed and now she makes it her mission not to let anyone else feel the way she felt!
“When my husband was killed by a drunk driver, I was devastated. Therapy helped me survive the tidal wave of grief and unfurl myself from the fetal position. I went back to work. Everyone kept telling me how “strong” I was. I acted strong in front of my kids. But inside I felt hollow. All my dreams had included him. I desperately wanted to believe I could still have a happy, fulfilling life but I wasn’t sure how. Then I began to research grief, trauma, and healing extensively. I studied cognitive behavioral coaching and read every book I could find. I combined what I learned about Post Traumatic Growth with cognitive science-based coaching tools and figured out how to turn my loss into a strategy for growth.”
