Description

In this episode of Boss Bitch Radio, we’re talking about the real stuff women face in midlife when it comes to health and fitness - the perfectionism that keeps you stuck, feeling like everyone’s watching you at the gym, managing stress without burning out, and what to do when your partner just doesn’t seem to support your goals.

If you’ve ever felt like you have to “do it all” or that you’re failing if it’s not perfect, this one’s for you. We’re breaking down why perfectionism isn’t your personality - it’s a learned coping skill and how to finally loosen that grip so you can actually make progress and feel good doing it.

In this episode, we dive into:

  1. Perfectionism & unrealistic expectations

  2. Gym intimidation & building confidence

  3. Self-compassion & stress management

  4. Partners not on board with your goals

Grab your coffee, get comfy, and let’s get real about what it actually takes to stay consistent, confident, and sane while working on your goals in midlife.
