Episode Description
If you’re a woman over 40 trying to feel energized, strong, and back in control of your body, this week’s episode is for you. Andrea sits down with Terry Tateossian, midlife transformation coach and wellness entrepreneur, to explore how she went from a burned-out tech founder to vibrant, confident, and more than 80 pounds lighter — all while navigating menopause, motherhood, and a demanding career.
What Really Works in Midlife
• Terry breaks down the real reasons midlife weight loss feels harder — and what actually works. You’ll hear:
• How to lose weight in midlife without crash diets or chaos
• The small daily habits that truly improve metabolism, mood, and muscle
• Why community and accountability make change sustainable
• Healing Emotional Eating
Terry also dives into the root causes of emotional eating and shares practical tools to retrain those patterns for good — no shame, no restriction, just understanding and strategy.

As 25-year founder and entrepreneur, Terry spent two and a half decades building and running successful start-up businesses, an experience that put her on the front line of founder burnout long before she could name it. After facing serious health challenges, early onset menopause, and emotional eating while running her agency and raising two children, Terry rebuilt her health in her 40s and lost more than 80 pounds through evidence-based nutrition, training, and mindset work. Today, she helps women build muscle, improve confidence, support hormone health, and create a stronger second half of life.
