Hot Girl Summer Is Out Consistency and Confidence Are In|306
Fit Girl Magic | Healthy Living For Women Over 40
If you’re anything like me, you’ve spent more summers than you’d like to admit bouncing between being “on plan” or going completely off the rails—then beating yourself up for it. I used to believe that if I wasn’t starving, sore, and checking every damn box on a to-do list, I was failing. In this Fit Girl Magic podcast episode, I’m calling BS on all of that.

Fit Girl Magic | Healthy Living For Women Over 40
Ever feel like you're crushing life… until life crushes you right back? You're meal-prepping, showing up for workouts, answering emails faster than ChatGPT, helping your kids survive college admissions, and wondering why you are running on fumes. You’re not lazy. You’re not broken. You’re just burned the hell out. In this episode, I’m joined by Coach Ellen Schinke, burnout expert, high-achiever whisperer, and fellow recovering perfectionist, to break down what burnout really is (hint: it’s not just being tired) and how to spot it before you're face down on the floor...
info_outlineIf you’re anything like me, you’ve spent more summers than you’d like to admit bouncing between being “on plan” or going completely off the rails—then beating yourself up for it.
I used to believe that if I wasn’t starving, sore, and checking every damn box on a to-do list, I was failing.
In this Fit Girl Magic podcast episode, I’m calling BS on all of that.
I’m sharing how I went from obsessive meal prep and gym workouts on vacation (yes, I was that girl) to actually enjoying my life and making progress. It’s all about what I call my Non-Negotiables—a few simple habits I can take with me anywhere that keep me grounded, sane, and consistent no matter what life throws at me.
What I Dive Into:
- Why extreme doesn’t equal effective (and never did)
- The “perfect plan” lie that kept me stuck for years
- The 1–3 habits that helped me feel free, not frantic
- How I let go of the guilt around fun foods like rosé and ice cream
- How I learned to reflect instead of self-destruct
“Fun isn’t failure. One fun meal doesn’t cancel out a week of consistency. But beating yourself up? That will knock you off track.”
If you’re over 40 and done with starting over, this one’s for you. No more chasing perfect. It’s time to build a lifestyle that can hold up when life gets messy (because it always will).
Want in on the Unsexy Summer Shred?
This is my 8-week challenge for women who want to build real, repeatable results using boring-but-powerful habits. Nothing extreme. Just sanity, sustainability, and success.
