40s just feels different


When it comes to health and fitness, age does matter.

Hey Reader,

I've recently entered my 40s and a lot of my clients are in their 30s or 40s.

What I've noticed is what used to work in your teens or 20s, just doesn't work as well in your 30s and 40s.

There are a lot of reasons for that, but as a coach, I am so over the rhetoric of 'calories in and calories out'. Although for the most part it still stands, there are external and internal factors that affect how your body loses weight and fat and it differs through the decades.

In 2025, I launched my email series to help women in their 30s and 40s with 22 tips in 22 days to get fitter and healthier or you may have downloaded my no fluff weight loss guide for women in their 40s.

In 2026, I will be running monthly workshops with key topics that I've discussed with my actual clients - topics of interest to them - and I would hope for you also.

With that said, the first workshop is to look at the differences between the decades and Why Fat Loss Feels Harder in Your 30s & 40s.

Hormones, metabolism, environment & what actually changes as you age.

That’s exactly why I’m running this upcoming live 90 min workshop with Q&A.

It will be informative, reflective of my own lived and learned experience, my knowledge in the space and also address questions you might have specifically for you!

I want it to be something you walk away from with more clarity and direction - for you. An opportunity to get coaching and support from me without the commitment of joining an extended program.

It’s a safe space for you to:
✨ Ask any questions - specific to your situation and circumstance
✨ Understand why certain things haven’t worked for your body
✨ Get guidance and tools you can use immediately to restart your journey
✨ Walk away with a clear roadmap for the new year

And just so you know - this isn’t theory for me.

I’ve completed:
• Cert III & IV in Fitness
• Cert IV in Weight Management (Nutrition)
• Functional Nutrition & Metabolism Specialisation (hormones & blood labs)
• Spent 10+ years working with women in the gym & online
• Competed in bodybuilding and transformed my own body multiple times
• And worked full-time in corporate for 18 years!

So please - come pick my brain.
Let me put all of that knowledge to work for you.

You don’t have to know everything.

And you definitely don’t need to keep following generic social media advice that ignores your lifestyle, values and real-world stress.

You just need the right support at the right time.

Hey Reader, Have you ever had blood tests done, been told everything looks “normal”…but you still feel tired, stuck, or off? You get told to keep an eye on it and test again next year.Yet in that time, you don’t feel 100%. This is not uncommon. But by the time you test again, the results may have now significantly changed. What once wasn’t a problem or something to monitor becomes something you’re suddenly told needs medication. I believe we should trust our female intuition.If you don’t feel...

Hello Reader, One of the biggest barriers I see isn’t a lack of discipline.It’s fear of committing to something before you feel completely ready. We tell ourselves:What if I can’t stick to it?What if I fail again?What if this becomes another thing I start and don’t finish? So instead of taking action, we stay in the comfort of thinking, researching, and waiting. We read the books.We listen to the podcasts.We follow the right people online.We tell ourselves we’re learning and improving. And on...

Hello Reader, My new years goal was to read more and I have been honouring that by reading at least 10 minutes each night. If you knew me when I was younger (in my teens), I was SO AGAINST reading. I used to think, if I have time (or tbh any interest) to read, I'd be better off reading a text book (the Asian mentality was to get ahead in the sciences..) Then in my 20s, I tried reading on the train during my commutes to work. The first few books I remember reading (which were suggestions by a...
