** The Go-To Podcast for Midlife Women **
Are you feeling weighed down by the physical and emotional changes that come with midlife? Do you wake up in the morning, look in the mirror, and barely recognize the woman staring back at you? Feeling lost and wondering who you are now that your kids are grown?
Welcome to ’Making Life Beautiful Again,’ the podcast designed for midlife women ready to take control, rediscover their spark, and reignite their passion for life. Here, you’ll find the guidance and encouragement you need to navigate this unique season with confidence and grace.
Hey, I’m Michelle. An empty-nester, grandma, and Jesus lover. I know firsthand what it feels like to wrestle with self-doubt and the inner critic during midlife. It’s like being caught in a storm where your mind, body, and spirit are all in flux. I tried every beauty trick in the book, hoping to feel better, but the mirror kept reflecting my fears: ’Am I still beautiful? Do I still have a purpose?’
Then one day, I had a breakthrough. If I’m created in the image of Christ, how could I ever see myself as anything less than worthy and beautiful? Those negative thoughts were lies, diminishing the incredible woman God designed me to be. The truth is, our bodies and lives change, and so should our self-care routines. I’m here to help you embrace this new chapter with grace and confidence.
If you’re ready to find a simple, effective plan tailored for midlife women… If you want solutions that fit seamlessly into your life, bringing you more energy, helping you shed those extra pounds, lifting your mood, and improving your sleep – this podcast is for you!

Hello Beautiful!
If you’ve ever looked at your summer schedule, felt the heat, and thought, “I just don’t have it in me to work out today…” this episode is for you.
Summer fitness can feel extra hard in midlife—between hot flashes, busy days, and bodies that don’t recover the way they used to, it’s easy to put movement on the back burner. But here’s the truth: staying active doesn’t have to mean long, sweaty workouts or big blocks of time.
In this episode, I’m sharing small, simple ways to move your body that actually fit into your life—and might even feel like a little celebration each time you do them.
You’ll learn:
Why short, gentle movement sessions can be better for your body than one long workout
Easy fitness ideas for busy women over 40—no gym, no gear, no fuss
How to mix slow-twitch, fast-twitch, balance, and stretching work (without overcomplicating it)
Why every small bit of movement is a win for your health, strength, and confidence
I also share my favorite LifePro shake plate for building strength in just minutes a day—you can check it out at https://lifeprofitness.com/products/the-waver-vibration-platform and use code michellerose for a discount!

Hello Beautiful!
If you’ve ever stood in front of your closet on a hot summer day thinking, “Ugh, nothing fits... nothing feels right,” this episode is for you.
Summer style in midlife can feel like a cruel joke. Our bodies have changed, trends are confusing (and fast!), and let’s be real—when you’re hot and swollen, the last thing you want is clingy clothes that ride up or make you feel self-conscious.
But here’s the thing—you can feel good in your clothes again. And it doesn’t take a whole new wardrobe. In this episode, we’re talking about:
✨ Outfit swaps that actually work for midlife bodies in real heat 👗 The “Anti-Dread Shopping List” to simplify your summer closet 🧠 How your clothes can support the life you want to live today 🎨 And why your wardrobe is more than just fabric—it’s a reflection of the woman inside
If you’re ready to stop dreading your closet and start building a wardrobe that supports the woman you are right now—press play.

Hello Beautiful!
I’m so glad you’re here because this week kicks off our Summer Series—and we’re starting with something that’s been coming up a LOT lately: summer skincare for midlife women.
If your skin has been acting out lately—tight, shiny, red, or just off—you are not alone. The heat, the sweat, and the hormonal shifts in midlife create a perfect storm for skin frustration.
In this episode, I’m sharing:
Why your usual skincare routine might be a little too much for summer
How to figure out if your skin is actually dry... or just super dehydrated and overwhelmed
The body areas we never talk about (like underboob and inner thighs) and how to keep them calm and comfy
A few of my favorite clean, midlife-friendly products that actually help soothe and hydrate without being heavy
And some easy changes you can make to feel more confident and comfortable in your skin all summer long
Also—if you’ve been guessing at what your skin needs, let’s stop that today. You can grab a free skin analysis at makinglifebeautifulagain.com, and I’ll help you figure out what’s really going on.
And because I want you to take action on what we talked about, I’ve got a free Summer Skincare Workbook waiting for you inside the Making Life Beautiful Again Facebook group. You’ll love it.
💬 One more thing—our Saturday Morning PJ Party is coming up on August 2nd at 9am CST! We’re celebrating ONE YEAR of livestreams together, and I would love for you to join. It’s happening on Zoom, but the link is only going out to email subscribers and facebook group members—so make sure you’re in one of those before the big day!
Thanks for being here with me today. I can’t wait to hear what little shift makes the biggest difference for your skin this summer.
Hit play, and let’s dive in.

Michelle

You’ll learn: ✨ What happens when estrogen drops—and how it affects carb sensitivity 💧 Why hydration and circadian rhythm are foundational to hormone health 🌿 The role of cortisol in inflammation, stress, and stubborn weight gain 🤸♀️ How gentle movement supports the nervous system and lymph flow 🍽️ What to prioritize this week (without flipping your life upside down)

Hey friend,
Have you ever walked away from a doctor’s appointment, labs in hand, thinking,“Okay… but if everything’s ‘normal,’ why do I still feel so off?”
You’re not alone.
This episode is for the woman who’s exhausted, foggy, gaining weight, waking up at 3am, or just not feeling like herself—but keeps getting told, “Everything looks fine.”
We’re talking about:
What hormone labs are really telling you (especially if they’re in the low end of normal)
How to connect your symptoms with what’s happening inside your body
The role of thyroid and cortisol (often overlooked but key!)
Why now is the perfect time to build a personal hormone baseline—even if you feel great
What to do next… even if HRT isn’t on the table

Hello Beautiful!
Because I know you’ve been feeling off. You’re doing all the right things—you’re eating well, trying to move your body, juggling life like a champ—but still, something doesn’t feel right. You’re waking up at 3am. Your energy is gone before noon. Your jeans aren’t fitting the same. And your brain? Foggy.
Maybe you’ve asked your doctor. Maybe you’ve Googled. Maybe you’ve just been silently wondering, “Is this just what being a woman in midlife feels like?”
In this episode, I’m sharing something I wish I’d known earlier—the surprising truth about what’s really going on in your body during perimenopause and menopause. We’ll talk about hormones like testosterone (yep, that’s part of it too), progesterone, and estrogen... and how they affect way more than just your cycle.
I’m not here to give you a diagnosis. I’m here to give you words for what you’re already feeling—and a first step that might change everything.
Pull up a cozy seat. Bring a notebook. Let’s talk about what no one told us.
Hit play, and let’s dive in.

If you're a mom in midlife trying to navigate what it means to parent adult children—this episode is for you.
Maybe your grown kids are pulling away. Maybe you're unsure how to help without sounding like you're trying to take control. Or maybe you're in a sweet season but want to make sure you stay close as things change.
Wherever you are, today I’m sharing 5 powerful shifts I’ve learned (and am still learning!) about loving our adult children well in this new chapter of motherhood.
In this episode, we’ll talk about: • Why your grown child may feel misunderstood—and how to fix that • How to support without solving (yes, it’s possible!) • Why presence matters more than perfection • How to rebuild trust after distance or conflict • A gentle reminder that God’s heart is for reconciliation
I’ll also share a personal story from a recent road trip with my daughters that reminded me just how precious simple connection can be—even in the midst of life’s heavier moments.

Let’s make peace with food, rebuild trust with your body, and create a beautiful next chapter—together.
Hello beautiful!
If you’ve been stuck in a cycle of “clean eating,” cutting carbs, calorie tracking, or chasing that elusive diet that finally works—and you still feel frustrated in your body… this episode is for you.
Midlife brings real changes to your body, but diet culture didn’t exactly prepare us for that. In fact, it often made things worse.
In this episode, we’re talking about how to heal your relationship with food in midlife, let go of old food rules, and finally start trusting your body again—without guilt, restriction, or feeling like you’ve failed.
Whether you're navigating weight gain in perimenopause, feeling lost after years of dieting, or simply want to eat with peace again, this is the honest conversation you’ve been craving.
We’ll also talk about:
Why your body isn’t broken—and why it may not respond to diets anymore
How to shift from control to curiosity using the “Fuel First, Treat Later” rhythm
Why your cravings are actually intelligent signals, not signs of weakness
How to build a mindset that helps you enjoy food and support your body in midlife
💛 Let’s rebuild trust with food—and make life beautiful again, one peaceful meal at a time.

NEXT WEEK: How to figure out what your body really needs when you have cravings.
Hello beautiful!
If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed by all the food rules out there—what to eat, what to cut, what to fear—and you’re just tired of starting over again and again... you are not the only one.
I created this episode for the midlife woman who’s done with diet culture, done with restriction, and ready to feel good in her body again.
Because I don’t think you need another plan. I think you need to understand how your body was designed—and how to fuel it with what it actually wants.
In this episode, I’m walking you through the simple, foundational pieces of what your body is made of (we’re talking water, protein, healthy fats, fiber, and all the good stuff)—so you can finally stop guessing and start feeling grounded in how you eat.
We’ll also talk about:
Why one-size-fits-all diets don’t work (and why you’re not failing)
How glucose spikes are sneaking in and messing with your energy, cravings, sleep, and stress levels
A rhythm I use myself called Fuel First, Treat Later (yes, it’s as gentle and doable as it sounds)
This isn’t a detox. It’s not a quick fix. It’s a conversation—about how to nourish your body without shame, restriction, or stress.
And if you’re someone who’s busy (like really busy), just know—this rhythm works especially well for women like us.

If life hasn’t turned out the way you thought it would… this episode is for you.
In today’s heartfelt conversation, I’m sharing the story of my Aunt Bernice—a 94-year-old powerhouse who lived with purpose, strength, and joy until her final days. She never had children. She lost her husband. She faced more grief than most of us ever will. But she didn’t let that stop her from building a beautiful life.
Whether you’re dealing with midlife transitions, feeling behind in your purpose, or grieving the life you thought you’d have by now—this episode will remind you that it’s not too late. You can still start again. You can still create joy. And you can still make life beautiful.

Why legacy isn’t about what you have—it’s about how you live

NEXT WEEK: We’re talking about easy and balanced nutrition—how to know what your body really needs to live a long, strong, and joy-filled life. No extremes, no diets—just simple, life-giving choices that work for your season.
Hello beautiful!
For so many women—especially in midlife—body shame doesn’t always look like hate. It looks like disconnection.
You’ve spent years showing up for everyone else, pushing through, and now you don’t even feel like yourself anymore.
In this episode of the Breaking Free from Body Shame series, we’re walking through three simple, practical ways to start reconnecting with your body—without changing it first.
Inside this episode: • Why you don’t need to “love every inch” to feel confident • What body disconnection looks like (and why it’s so common) • Three daily habits to help you feel grounded, present, and strong • The truth about where real body confidence comes from • How to stop outsourcing your healing—and start owning it
This is not about chasing a number. It’s about coming home to yourself.

Hello beautiful!
Have you ever looked in the mirror and wondered, “Why do I hate my body so much?”
You’ve tried all the things—diets, workouts, affirmations, even gratitude—but you still feel uncomfortable in your body. And no one seems to be talking about the deeper reasons why.
In this episode, we’re going straight to the root of body shame—especially for women who’ve grown up in Christian culture or have spent their lives trying to be “the good girl.” This isn’t about fixing your body. It’s about finding freedom in it.
You’ll learn:
The 3 most common areas women feel body shame
How Christian messages around modesty and purity deepen shame
Why nothing you’ve tried has worked—and why that’s not your fault
A powerful journaling exercise (The Shame Origin Map) to help you finally name where it started
Why your story isn’t over—and why you’re not broken
Hit play, and let’s dive in.
XO,
Michelle

Hey friend,
Let’s be honest—how many times have you told yourself you’ll finally show up confidently when you lose the weight, feel more prepared, or figure everything out?

Spoiler: Confidence isn’t something you wait for. It’s something you build—step by step, with God by your side.
If you’ve ever felt too insecure to start, or like you need to be perfect before you show up—this is the truth bomb you didn’t know you needed.
Hit play, and let’s dive in. 🎧

Making Life Beautiful Again | Health and Beauty for Midlife Women
** The Go-To Podcast for Midlife Women **
Are you feeling weighed down by the physical and emotional changes that come with midlife? Do you wake up in the morning, look in the mirror, and barely recognize the woman staring back at you? Feeling lost and wondering who you are now that your kids are grown?
Welcome to ’Making Life Beautiful Again,’ the podcast designed for midlife women ready to take control, rediscover their spark, and reignite their passion for life. Here, you’ll find the guidance and encouragement you need to navigate this unique season with confidence and grace.
Hey, I’m Michelle. An empty-nester, grandma, and Jesus lover. I know firsthand what it feels like to wrestle with self-doubt and the inner critic during midlife. It’s like being caught in a storm where your mind, body, and spirit are all in flux. I tried every beauty trick in the book, hoping to feel better, but the mirror kept reflecting my fears: ’Am I still beautiful? Do I still have a purpose?’
Then one day, I had a breakthrough. If I’m created in the image of Christ, how could I ever see myself as anything less than worthy and beautiful? Those negative thoughts were lies, diminishing the incredible woman God designed me to be. The truth is, our bodies and lives change, and so should our self-care routines. I’m here to help you embrace this new chapter with grace and confidence.
If you’re ready to find a simple, effective plan tailored for midlife women… If you want solutions that fit seamlessly into your life, bringing you more energy, helping you shed those extra pounds, lifting your mood, and improving your sleep – this podcast is for you!
So grab your water bottle, lace up your walking shoes, and let’s get started making life beautiful again!
