In this episode, I’m sharing what I believe is the biggest missing piece when it comes to losing weight and feeling hot after 40, and it’s probably not what you think. It’s self-trust. I open up about my dating life over the past year, including a very public breakup, a deep betrayal, and the unexpected decision to try again with someone I once walked away from. What I realized through all of it i...

If you’re trying to lose weight and feel better in your body, but your partner’s support feels… inconsistent then this episode is for you! I break down the three levels of partner support from the rare “all in with you” teammate to the openly unsupportive critic, and the most common (and trickiest) gray zone—the partner who says they’re supportive but whose actions don’t quite align. I share stori...

Ever feel like you’re doing all the things…working out consistently, staying busy, breaking a sweat, yet nothing actually changes? In this episode, I’m unpacking a concept from my HR days that explains exactly why that happens: Rocking Horse Syndrome. It’s the illusion of productivity with lots of movement but zero traction.  In the workplace, it looks like endless meetings, over-polished decks, a...

What if comfort is the exact reason you’re not seeing change? In this episode, I unpack the surprising parallels between participating in an economic boycott and finally making weight loss stick. Both require the same uncomfortable truth: real change demands inconvenience. It’s not glamorous. It’s not effortless. It’s Wednesday at 6pm when you’re tired, out of eggs, and tempted to say “forget it.”...

In this episode of This Life Gets Good , I’m talking honestly about something many of us are feeling but not always saying out loud: how heavy the world feels right now, and how that weight shows up in our bodies. I share why I’ve been speaking more openly about what’s happening around us, why so many women have quietly thanked me for doing so, and why I recognize the privilege I have in being abl...

In this episode, I’m calling out a pattern I see constantly with high-achieving women over 40: you’re not stuck because you’re doing something wrong…you’re stuck because you’re applying the wrong productivity model to your body. The same “work harder, stay longer, do more” approach that may have worked in corporate settings is often the exact thing that slows results when it comes to workouts, nut...

In today’s episode, I’m talking about something that so many women feel but rarely say out loud about the reality of gender and beauty bias at work, and how our bodies quietly become part of how we’re evaluated.  I unpack how this bias shows up in real ways in performance reviews, “executive presence,” promotions, and compensation and how different the rules are for men versus women. While male le...

In this birthday episode, I’m reflecting on what it actually means to feel good in your body as you get older and why, at 46, I feel more confident, connected, and yes, hotter than I ever did in my 20s or 30s. Looking back at my 2016 “before” photo, the hardest part for me wasn’t being 75 pounds heavier. It was how disconnected and depleted I felt in my body. I didn’t fully realize how bad it was...

In this episode of This Life Gets Good , I share a relatable story about motherhood, ambition, and the invisible pressure so many high-achieving women carry. From Pinterest-perfect birthday parties to a demanding corporate career, I open up about the years I spent trying to be two versions of myself at once and how that constant overcompensation quietly took a toll on my body, my energy, and my se...

In this episode, we’re unpacking the most underrated skill women over 40 need to lose weight and feel good again. If you’re a high-achieving woman who’s built her career and life by pushing, grinding, and figuring things out on her own, this conversation might hit a little close to home. Because the very traits that once helped you succeed may now be quietly working against your body. We talk abou...

Boundaries often get a bad reputation, especially for women who are used to being helpful, available, and “easygoing.” In this episode, Lauren shares a personal story that highlights how setting boundaries can feel uncomfortable at first, but ultimately creates more ease, clarity, and connection for everyone involved. What started as a parenting and scheduling dilemma became a powerful reminder th...

In this episode of This Life Gets Good , I share some very real, very honest reflections on dating in my 40s as a divorced mom and why feeling good in your body is not optional, but it’s foundational. I talk about how body confidence has completely changed the way I show up in dating, from feeling abundance instead of scarcity, to walking away from situations, behaviors, and relationships that don...

In episode two of This Life Gets Good , I break down the invisible reason weight loss feels so hard for high-achieving women in their 40s, and it has nothing to do with willpower. I explain how carrying the mental load of work, family, and life creates extreme decision fatigue and why, by the end of the day, your brain is biologically wired to choose the easiest option, not the “best” one. I also...

In this first episode of This Life Gets Good , I share the personal story that completely changed how I coach women in perimenopause and why “just doing more” stopped working for me at 44. After losing 75 pounds, building muscle, and creating a life I loved, my body suddenly felt unfamiliar—exhaustion, joint pain, brain fog, and stubborn weight gain showed up seemingly overnight. I break down the...
