In this episode of Hello Hot Flash, I sit down with Leslie Gordon Christie, a renowned mindset and personal development coach, and founder of Buff Nation: 40+ and Fabulous. Leslie is on a mission to help women over 40 break free from limiting beliefs, reclaim their energy, and step into the strongest version of themselves—mentally, emotionally, and physically.
We explore how subconscious beliefs can quietly hold you back in your health, relationships, and especially your career—and how a mindset shift can be the key to thriving in midlife.
What You’ll Learn:
How limiting beliefs silently sabotage your health and career
The connection between mindset, menopause, and motivation
A 5-step process to reprogram your thinking and reclaim your confidence
Practical techniques like visualization, affirmations, and daily gratitude
Why focusing on what you want to create is more powerful than what you want to fix
