By AshleyEpisode Description
In this episode of SHE Asked: Tools for Practical Hope, host Anna McBride and I dive into a conversation many women need — but rarely have out loud.
In my mid-40s, while running multiple businesses and raising a family, I found myself exhausted, overwhelmed, and facing mounting health issues. Two emergency room visits later, it became clear that my body was sending a message I could no longer ignore. What followed was a decade-long transformation that helped me lose over 80 pounds — and rebuild my health, identity, and mindset from the inside out.
In this episode, we explore:
• Why midlife burnout is often a call for deeper change
• How perimenopause and hormones quietly shape women’s health
• The emotional patterns behind self-sabotage — and how to break them
• Why muscle and strength training matter more after 40
• The real reason weight loss feels harder in midlife
This episode is for every woman who feels overwhelmed, burned out, or disconnected from her body — and is ready to reclaim strength, confidence, and clarity in the second half of life.
