Midlife isn't the beginning of the end — it's the beginning of your encore. 💥
In this episode of GenX Journeys, Paul sits down with Lydia Magnoli, online fitness coach, content creator, and founder of The Magnoli Method app. Lydia opens up about leaving a "safe" tenured job as a school psychologist to follow her true calling, losing 65+ pounds naturally, and helping women over 40 build strength, confidence, and healthier habits without a gym.
You'll hear about:
-
🎭 Reinvention after 40: trusting the inner voice when others doubt you
-
💪 Why fitness after 40 is about energy and confidence, not just looks
-
🧘 The power of discipline vs. motivation (and daily practices that stick)
-
🥗 How small habit shifts lead to big transformations
-
📲 How Lydia's Magnoli Method app and coaching programs empower women to thrive
Plus, stick around for some GenX fun: Lydia shares her favorite artists, her workout playlist go-tos, and her '80s/'90s crush.
Whether you're ready to reinvent your career, your health, or your mindset — this episode will remind you: it's never too late.
