Are big weight loss goals leaving you frustrated and overwhelmed?

In this episode, we’re diving into why those lofty targets—like dropping 30 pounds or fitting into that dress by summer—often fail women over 40.

More importantly, we’ll focus on what actually works: small, sustainable habits that lead to real, lasting change.

You’ll learn:

• Why focusing on the scale can sabotage your progress.
• Practical daily steps that make a real difference.
