"The Scale Isn’t the Boss: Reclaiming Your Power & Celebrating Non-Scale Victories" is live on Midlife Magic — and it’s one every woman needs to hear. Maybe… especially you.

Let’s be real: how many times has a number on the scale decided how you feel about yourself?
🙋‍♀️ Yup, been there.

But here’s the truth:
The scale is just data — not a measure of your worth, your strength, or your progress. In this episode, I’m breaking down:

✨ Why the number on the scale fluctuates
✨ How to reclaim your power from it
✨ What real progress looks like (hello, non-scale victories!)
✨ How to redefine success in a way that actually supports your life

Your weight doesn’t get to be the boss of your joy anymore.
🎧 Tune in now wherever you listen to podcasts — and start celebrating what really matters.

Then tell me in the comments.
What’s one non-scale victory you’re proud of lately?

One of our amazing members shared how she’s seeing real progress by:
✅ Prioritizing protein & fiber
✅ Staying consistent with workouts & walks
✅ Practicing mindfulness around food

💛 "Focusing on high protein and I’m down 7.9 lbs! I now have a great habit with workouts and walks, and adding mindfulness has been a game changer."

She’s feeling her best since before COVID—and we’re just getting started!

This is what we do inside my Midlife Magic Membership. No fads. No extremes. Just a clear, effective strategy designed for women in midlife.

All or nothing? Nope. Try ALL or SOMETHING!

Perfection isn’t the goal—progress is. Instead of stressing about doing it all, focus on doing something. A short walk, a balanced meal, a solid workout—it all adds up.

Let go of the “all-or-nothing” mindset and start building momentum with small, consistent actions.

Drop a 💛 if you needed this reminder today!

Guess what? There is no secret diet out there. But the secret that people who are trying to sell you on their diet aren't telling you is that the reason you may lose weight is because you're in a caloric deficit, not because of anything special in the formulation of foods or food groups.

So, the next time you think, "Will this diet work for me?" I want you to ask yourself these questions:

1. Will I enjoy eating that way?
2. Will I be able to sustain eating that way?

If you answer yes to both questions, then it will work for you.

I've been thinking about something for a while now.....

How can I help more women break out of a diet mindset and learn how to manage their weight once and for all more simply and sustainably.
Also, how can I make it affordable? I know that both coaching and personal training can be expensive. I have personally felt priced out of programs over the years.
I decided to create Midlife Magics' very first Membership! This first membership will only be 6 weeks long as it is the first one and I want to be able to take you on a little test run with me. Because of this, I will only be opening up 10 spots in this membership.

What is the membership and how does it work?

✨You can choose from 3 different levels of workouts: Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced. All workouts focus on strength training
✨Nutrition guidance: Understanding your caloric and protein targets to reach YOUR goals
✨Access to the Midlife Mastery App where you can access and track your workouts, habits,, nutrition and body stats
✨3 group coaching/education calls: My goal is to educate you (not just tell you WHAT to do but WHY) as well as answer your questions while offering support
✨Access to a private Midlife Magic Membership Facebook Group
Weeks 1 and 2 will be acclimation weeks where we begin to prepare by making simple changes, weeks 4-6 will be the full program

This inaugural group will receive lifetime discounts on all future programs
T
HIS 6-WEEK PROGRAM IS ONLY $59
I promise you will never go on another diet again after this program!
Be prepared to transform your confidence and belief in yourself, your mind, and body.

What would it feel like to focus on gaining something instead of trying so hard to lose something?

The secret to your freedom from dieting is to shift your focus to gaining muscle and stop trying to lose weight.

Who’s ready to give this a try?

06/09/2024

Since I’ve been in a deficit (meaning I’m eating below maintenance calories in order to lose weight) I have been very cognizant of my food choices?
Why?
1. My goal is important to me.
2. I want to maximize the amount and quality of food that I eat so I can eat as much as possible.

Below is my breakfast from this morning. It consisted of:
2 whole eggs and one egg white, 2 pieces of toast, to slices of ham, a bowl of cherries and coffee with milk.

This meal was 440 calories and 39g of protein.

I wanted to compare my breakfast to a common breakfast on the go.

The to-go breakfast is a Tim Horton’s bagel with cream cheese and a coffee with cream. (Swipe to see image)
This meal is 452 calories and 12 grams of fat.

What meal do you think is more filling?
What meal do you think will allow you to go longer in between meals without needing to eat?
Which meal do you think will fuel my body best?
Which meal do you think will energize me more?

Most people will not be satiated by the Tim Horton’s breakfast likely resulting in them needing to eat again in a shorter period of time and therefore increasing your caloric intake for the day.

There is nothing wrong with eating the Tim’s breakfast. That breakfast can fit in your fat loss plan, but it may just leave you feeling hungry and unsatisfied.

I've got something exciting brewing for the month of June, and I want you all to be a part of it. Are you ready to kickstart your summer with a fun and fabulous wellness challenge?

For 30 days, we'll be focusing on three simple habits that can make a huge difference in how we feel: prioritizing protein,walking for at least 30 minutes a day, and making sure we get some fruits or veggies at every meal. Easy peasy, right?

But here's the best part - we're going to do this together as a community! You will be a part of a private Facebook group with tips, motivation, and accountability to help us all stay on track. It's going to be an amazing month of supporting each other, celebrating our wins, and feeling our absolute best.

So, who's in for the Summer Kickstart Challenge?
