By AshleyEpisode Description
I recently joined Althea Finch for an honest conversation about my journey from burnout, emotional eating, and declining health to losing over 80 pounds and reclaiming my energy in midlife.
At 42, I was juggling entrepreneurship, motherhood, and countless responsibilities while struggling with my health. What I thought was a weight problem turned out to be much deeper—stress, hormones, habits, and a disconnect from myself were all playing a role.
In this episode, we discuss:
• How I lost 80 pounds in my forties
• The realities of perimenopause and menopause
• Why emotional eating isn’t just about food
• The importance of building strength and muscle
• Balancing health, family, and career
• Why it’s never too late to transform your life
If you’re feeling frustrated with your body, overwhelmed by midlife changes, or wondering if it’s still possible to feel your best, this conversation is for you.
Because aging doesn’t have to mean decline—it can be the beginning of your strongest chapter yet.
