I’m 48 and navigating perimenopause (though with an IUD, it’s hard to know exactly where I am in the transition). What I do know is that strength training has been life-changing — building muscle has supported my energy, metabolism, and overall health in ways nothing else has. That’s why I’ve built this community: to help women like us stay strong, healthy, and empowered through every stage of menopause. It’s an honor to share this journey with you. Here’s a video from Dr. Stacey Sims that gave me valuable insight — I hope it helps you as much as it’s helped me.https://youtu.be/vb4X6W2staU?si=OScit-fv2vdVwGqk

Sometimes life can be so chaotic with kids, career, partner, and social responsibilities that things are just too overwhelming to even want to get up and face the day We have all been there. Stuck! Stuck in a moment that seems like forever. But it’s not. Grateful to have people around me, and in communities like this one where I can share my frustrations and allow the art of letting go take lead Thank you my Fierce Females for being here and part of this community. As much as I’d like to say I created this community for you, I selfishly created it for me 💜💜 Have a good day to all you Mamma 🐻’s

When you’re not in a “low-calorie friendly” place like restaurants or park attractions, PAUSE - PLAN - PORTION 1. Pause - Before you grab food, take a deep breath and check in with yourself: “Am I actually hungry or just tempted because it’s in front of me?” 2.Plan - Scan what’s available and decide what’s worth it. Choose one or two higher calorie items you’ll enjoy, and balance with lighter, protein based options if available 3 Portion - Serve yourself a reasonable portion instead of grazing. If it’s a buffet, use a smaller plate and fill half with vegetables / protein first Choices can make or break your habit building 🫶💪
