Episode notes

In this episode of Fit and Unfiltered, I share my framework of 10 reminders to help you cut through overwhelm and get clear on how to restart or recommit to fitness. Especially if you're a woman over 40.

I talk about how you control your daily effort, even though what "100%" looks like changes day to day, and why prioritising self-care alongside training and nutrition matters more than people think.

I also get into why high stress can stall your results no matter how clean you're eating, and why your metabolism isn't broken. It's flexible, and it improves with consistent routines.
