And Other Things I Hear From Women Like You (More Often Than You’d Think)
I talk to a lot of women in their 40s, 50s, 60s, and beyond.
Mothers. Daughters. Caregivers. Professionals. Retirees. Women who’ve spent decades showing up for others and doing the best they can.
And I hear this all the time:
- “I know I should be taking better care of myself, but I’m so tired.”
- “I used to feel stronger… what happened?”
- “I don’t even know where to start anymore.”
- “It’s probably too late to make a real difference.”
- “Everyone else seems to handle it better.”
- “I miss feeling confident in my body.”
- “Is this just what getting older feels like?”
If you’ve said any of those things—or felt them—you’re not alone.
You’re not lazy. You’re not broken. And you’re definitely not the only one who feels this way.
You’re Carrying So Much. And It Shows Up in Your Body.
The fatigue. The fog. The tension in your shoulders. The moments when your brain feels just a little slower than it used to. The stiffness that creeps in overnight. The fear of falling behind—or falling apart.
You’ve probably told yourself:
"I just need to be more disciplined."
"Once things slow down, I’ll start."
"I should be able to handle this on my own."
But here’s the truth:
You don’t need to push harder.
You need support.
You need sustainable practices.
You need community.
A Quick Confession
I’ve felt some of these things myself.
There’s been times when I was doing all the “right” things—teaching, caring for others, staying busy—but inside, I felt disconnected, scattered, and worn out. I often describe it as being stretched thin.
I didn’t need another program. I needed a way to come back to myself.
To remember that strength doesn’t always look loud. That small, nourishing actions count. That I wasn’t alone.
And that’s what I want to share with you.
You Weren’t Meant to Do This Alone.
For years, we’ve been told that being “healthy” means hitting the gym, powering through, or following the next big wellness trend. But that model doesn’t work when your energy feels unpredictable, your priorities have shifted, and you’re craving something deeper.
You don’t need a harder workout.
You need a space that says:
- “Start where you are.”
- “There’s nothing wrong with you.”
- “Let’s move in a way that honors your body and protects your brain.”
- “You’re allowed to feel supported.”
- “You belong here.”
Imagine This...
Imagine waking up and not dreading your body’s stiffness.
Imagine moving through your day with more clarity, steadiness, and trust in how you feel.
Imagine knowing exactly what small action to take—not because you have to, but because it helps you feel more like yourself.
This isn’t about becoming someone new.
It’s about remembering the strength and calm that are already within you.
Start Small—Here’s How
You don’t need to overhaul your routine or carve out an hour every day to start feeling better in your body.
Here are a few gentle actions you can try today:
👉 Wake up and wiggle.
Before you get out of bed, stretch your arms and legs, take a deep breath, and roll your ankles. This tiny habit can reduce morning stiffness and ground your nervous system.
👉 Stand tall for 30 seconds.
Pause during your day to stand in Mountain Pose (Tadasana). Feel your feet, soften your jaw, and notice your posture. This simple reset brings awareness back into your body.
👉 Breathe in for 4, out for 6.
This simple breath practice downshifts your stress response and supports brain clarity. Try it for just one minute.
These aren’t just “wellness tips”—they’re tiny threads of connection. They bring you back to your body. They build trust. And they’re the foundation of everything I teach inside Rooted in Strength.
That’s Why I’m Creating Rooted in Strength
After years of working with women just like you, I saw the same gaps again and again—confusion, inconsistency, disconnection, and a deep longing for something that actually fits this season of life.
Rooted in Strength is the membership I wish existed years ago. A space to:
- Build strength and mobility gently and consistently
- Support brain health through movement, breath, and mindfulness
- Connect with other women who understand what you’re going through
- Get expert guidance without the pressure or perfectionism
Feel empowered in your body again—on your terms
We launch in June, and I’ll be inviting a small group to join me as founding members soon.
If you’re feeling the pull for something more sustainable, more compassionate, and more you—you’re exactly who I’m creating this for.
Final Thoughts
You don’t need to do more.
You don’t need to be someone else.
You just need a place to return to yourself—and a community that reminds you that you’re not alone.
If you’ve been tired, unsure, disconnected, or just quietly wondering if there’s another way—there is. And I’d love to walk that path with you.
✨ Stay tuned. More details are coming soon.
