I didn’t get this body from HRT.

I was at my most muscular in my 40s—before I ever used HRT.

I’ve had people assume that my muscle definition at 62 is because I use hormone replacement therapy. That simply isn’t my experience.

HRT is replacement, not enhancement. It can be an important tool for managing symptoms associated with declining hormones during menopause.

For me, HRT has helped with hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, low libido and disrupted sleep.

But it did not build my muscles.

My physique was built through decades of strength training, eating well, prioritizing protein, recovery and consistency.

And honestly, I was more muscular and defined in my 40s than I am today.

I’m sharing this because I don’t want women to believe that a strong, defined body after 50 or 60 is only possible because of HRT.

It isn’t.

HRT may help some women feel better.
Strength training helps build muscle.

Both can have a place—but they are not the same thing.

Women can get stronger and build muscle at every age. It takes work, patience and consistency.

There is no shortcut. ❤️

At 62, I’m proud of the body I’ve worked hard to maintain—but I’m also proud to be REAL.

AI-generated women are making it harder to know what’s real on social media, especially when they’re being used to sell products and create unrealistic expectations around aging.

Don’t compare your real body to something that doesn’t exist.
Look beyond the image. Ask questions. Support real women.

If it looks too good to be true, it probably isn’t. ❤️

At 62, I’m learning that being healthy doesn’t always look the way it used to.

Right now, I’m navigating work, caregiving, disrupted sleep, shorter workouts, shorter walks, and less stamina than I’m accustomed to.

My routine has been turned upside down, and honestly, I’m still figuring out what this season looks like.

But I’m not giving up on my health.
I’m lifting when I can. I’m walking. I’m prioritizing protein and nourishing foods. I’m listening to my body instead of pushing it to meet an old version of myself.

And maybe that’s part of aging well, too.

Fitness isn’t about perfection. It’s about adapting, staying consistent where you can, and continuing to care for yourself through every season of life.

Some seasons are about progress.
Some are about maintenance.
Some are simply about getting through the day and doing the best you can.

Right now, I’m taking it one day at a time. ❤️

I’ve been a little quiet here lately.

Life has been full, and my family has needed my attention. We’re navigating one of those seasons of life that many of us will eventually face—helping care for an aging parent.

It’s one of the hardest seasons I’ve experienced, for so many reasons.

I’m learning that caring for an aging parent isn’t just about helping with appointments, medications, and day-to-day needs. It’s also about being their advocate.

It’s about asking questions.
Speaking up when something doesn’t seem right.
Being willing to ask, “Could we look into this further?”
Making sure concerns are heard and that important questions aren’t overlooked.

The reality is that the healthcare system is complicated, and even with wonderful healthcare professionals, things can sometimes be missed. Tests don’t always get ordered. Symptoms can be overlooked. Communication doesn’t always happen the way it should.

I’ve learned that you can’t be afraid to respectfully speak up when you’re advocating for someone you love.

At the same time, I’m reminded of why I talk so much about strength and health here.

We spend years working on our own strength, mobility, balance, and overall health—and then life reminds us that strength isn’t only about what happens in the gym.

Sometimes strength is showing up.
Sometimes it’s making the difficult phone call.

Sometimes it’s asking the hard question.

Sometimes it’s sitting beside someone you love and making sure their voice is heard.

This is a hard season, and I know so many of you are navigating something similar with parents, spouses, or loved ones.

I’m not sure when I’ll be back to posting regularly, but I wanted to say hello and share a little of what’s been on my heart.

Take care of yourselves. And if you’re caring for someone you love, remember to take care of yourself, too. ❤️

I used to think more was better. These days, I know better. At 62, recovery is part of the plan, not a sign of weakness. Three challenging lifting sessions a week are enough for me to build strength, maintain muscle, and enjoy life outside the gym. Aging well isn’t about doing the most—it’s about doing what you can sustain for decades.

Society acts like aging is a reason to stop trying.

I see it as a reason to keep going.

I don’t train to stay young.

I train so I can enjoy every decade I’m fortunate enough to reach.

At 62, I’m not trying to be 25 again.

I’m showing that getting older can still look strong, capable, confident, and full of life.✌🏻

I’m not trying to be my younger self. I’m showing what’s possible now. And I hope more women feel excited—not afraid—about growing older. ✨

At 62, I’m not trying to “look younger.”

I’m showing up fully as I am—stronger, wiser, more grounded, and more comfortable in my own skin than ever before.

Somewhere along the way women were told life fades after 50.

I don’t believe that.

This season can feel vibrant.
Powerful.
Confident.
Free.

Getting older isn’t something to fear.
It can be something to look forward to. 🤍

62 yesterday.🎉
And no… I don’t feel ‘old.’

I feel more aware of recovery. More appreciative of movement. More protective of my peace. More grateful for health.

My workouts look different now. My body requires more care than punishment. But I still love feeling strong, capable, and alive in this body.

Aging isn’t about becoming less.
It’s about becoming more honest about what matters.

Here’s to 62 🤍
