Part 2: In this second part of our live coaching call, we go deeper into what’s really behind emotional eating and the stress that keeps us stuck. Because it’s not just about the food—it’s about what’s driving the habits.

In this episode, we’ll talk about:

• How to sit with uncomfortable feelings instead of eating through them

• Simple tools to handle stress in the moment

• Stress eating

This is about learning to feel better—not just pushing through. If you've ever reached for food when you’re not hungry, this one's for you.

In this episode, we’re talking about why doing it all alone—especially over 40—is one of the biggest reasons you might feel stuck with your weight loss or health goals.

Here’s what you’ll hear:

• A personal story about thinking “I should be able to do this on my own”—and why that mindset wasn’t helping

• The truth: You’re not broken, you're just doing something really hard without support

• How small things you don’t even notice might be holding you back

• Why accountability keeps you from quitting on yourself when life gets messy

• The problem with piecing together random tips from Instagram and youtube workouts

• Why you need a plan that actually fits your life—not just more rules to follow

• A reminder that needing help doesn’t make you weak—it makes you human

If you’re tired of spinning your wheels and trying to figure it all out alone—this one’s for you.

Today we're diving into a super common belief I hear all the time—“I’m too old to gain muscle.” If you’ve ever thought that, I want you to hang with me for this one because we are going to bust that myth wide open.

Here’s the truth—you are never too old to build muscle. I don’t care if you’re in your 40s, 50s, 60s or beyond. Our bodies are incredible and can adapt to strength training at any age. Will it look different than when you were 20? Sure. But can you get stronger and build lean muscle? Absolutely.
