Kinda chic!

08/16/2026

Starting over in a new country taught me a lot about confidence, personal growth, and showing up for yourself.

When I moved to Canada at 34, my second job interview was at Curves.

The manager asked me about my greatest weakness, and my answer almost made her burst out laughing.

But I got the job.

That experience taught me something I still teach women over 40 today:

You don’t need to have all the answers.

You don’t need to be perfect.

You need to show up for yourself.

Building self-confidence after 40 isn’t about becoming someone else. It’s about trusting yourself enough to show up even when you don’t have the perfect answer.

If I asked you, “What is your greatest weakness?” and this wasn’t a job interview, what would your answer be?

Tell me in the comments.

Protein in perimenopause matters for more than just building muscle.

If you’re hungry again soon after meals, taking longer to recover from strength training, or noticing that you’re getting weaker, it may be worth looking at how much protein you’re eating.

During perimenopause and menopause, hormonal changes can contribute to changes in muscle mass and muscle function. Getting enough protein, along with regular strength training, helps women over 40 maintain muscle, strength, and healthy body composition as they age.

And don’t save most of your protein for dinner. Include a good source of protein at breakfast, lunch, and dinner so you’re spreading it throughout the day.

Start by looking at your meals today. Where is your protein coming from?

If you want me to talk more about how much protein women over 40 need, leave a ❤️ in the comments.

Women are more likely than men to develop Alzheimer’s disease, and brain health deserves our attention long before our 70s.

Nearly 7 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s, and about 2/3 are women.

Researchers are still studying exactly why women are at greater risk. Menopause may be one part of the picture. Declining estrogen can affect brain metabolism, blood flow and other processes involved in brain health.

The good news is that the habits we build in our 40s, 50s and beyond can support healthy brain aging.

Regular exercise and strength training, quality sleep, nutritious food, social connection and continuing to learn new skills all matter.

As a menopause fitness and wellness coach, I want women over 40 to think about exercise as more than weight loss. We are training for our muscles, bones, heart, brain and the life we want to have as we age.

Which of these habits are you already doing?

When I moved to Canada, I walked out of my Lululemon job interview after five minutes.

The interview was at Starbucks. Then they asked me where I saw myself in one, five, and ten years.

I honestly thought there was a hidden camera and someone was laughing at us.

I came from a country with war, bombing, and high inflation. I had never learned to plan ten years ahead.

So I left.

Years later, I realized something: I gave up too soon.

And I see the same thing with women over 40 trying to improve their health and fitness.

We try strength training for two weeks. The scale doesn’t move, so we stop.

We increase our protein intake for a week. Nothing changes, so we stop.

Real change takes time.

Sometimes the problem isn’t that something doesn’t work.

It’s that we give up too soon.

Have you ever quit something too soon? Tell me in the comments.

Walking is one of the healthiest habits you can have, and I encourage every woman I coach to walk.

But if walking is the only exercise you’re doing, you’re missing an important piece of the puzzle.

As estrogen declines during perimenopause and menopause, you naturally start losing muscle and bone.

Strength training helps protect your bones, improve insulin sensitivity, improve your balance, improve your energy and sleep, and help you stay strong and independent.

You don’t have to spend hours in the gym.

Two or three strength training sessions a week can make a real difference.

If you’d like to try one of my live online strength training sessions, send me a message.

Stronger Today. Unstoppable Tomorrow.
