Send us a text In this 7-minute solo episode, Michelle unpacks one of the biggest roadblocks she sees: the “all-or-nothing” mindset. Instead of treating a PDF plan like a pass/fail test, she shows how to “dance in the grey” with flexible tools—Daily Minimums, Good/Better/Best tiers, simple If-Then pivots, and the 3 Ms (Move, Meal, Mindset)—so progress keeps moving even on messy days. You’ll leave with a permission slip to do your best today… knowing your best will look different tomorrow. Wha...

Send us a text In this episode of the Midlife Magic Podcast, Michelle opens up about her personal journey of losing 20 pounds—without restriction, endless cardio, or dieting rules.

You’ll hear the exact steps she took starting in August ...
Send us a text We set a bold August goal—walk 150 km. None of us hit it… and it was still a win. In this episode I share the five lessons the challenge taught me: why walking is powerful for mood and energy, how strategy and intention unlock capacity, the value of finishing strong even when you won’t “hit the number,” and why aiming high changes who you become. If it doesn’t challenge you, it doesn’t change you. Press play for a gentle push as we step into September. If you loved today’...

Are you just going through the motions in your workouts? In this episode, we’re calling out junk reps and redefining what it means to train with purpose — especially in midlife.

Learn why intentional movement matters, how to listen to your body o...
If stepping on the scale has ever ruined your day, this episode is for you. Today, we’re unpacking the emotional weight we give to a number that was never meant to define us. You’ll learn why the scale is just data (not a judgment), how to shift your mindset around it, and why non-scale victories — like strength, confidence, energy, and consistency — are what truly matter. Let’s stop giving the scale the power to tell us who we are — and start celebrating the wins that really count. And...
