In this powerful and practical episode, I am joined with fitness expert and Menopause Coach Unni Greene Feder, a former competitive figure skater, author, and mother of four who has helped thousands transform their relationship with fitness and their bodies.

Unni shares her journey of reinvention after major life changes and breaks down how strength training, nutrition, and mindset can support you through aging, menopause, divorce, overwhelm, and identity shifts.

Let’s get started!

In this episode…
Why strength training is essential during life transitions
How lifting weights impacts hormones, inflammation, metabolism, and confidence
The truth about eating “more” to lose fat and build lean mass
How to approach menopause and midlife shifts with clarity instead of fear
Daily rituals to help you feel strong, radiant, and calm
How fitness helps you regain control and redefine your identity
