At 42, I’ve officially entered my stop giving a s**t and start giving a s**t about myself era.
While the youngest is at football practice, I cracked open my SIGNED copy of The New Perimenopause by Dr. Mary Claire Haver, ordered through White Pine.
Because no one is coming to hand us a medal for running ourselves into the ground.
My secret to my 40s?
More s*x.
More me time.
More muscle.
More sleep.
More boundaries.
More doing what feels good instead of what looks good to everyone else.
Less guilt.
Less shrinking.
Less saying yes when my entire body is screaming no.
Less treating my own health, happiness and pleasure like they’re optional.
I’m not trying to get back to the woman I was in my 20s or 30s.
I’m learning this body. I’m taking up space. I’m getting stronger. And I’m becoming more of who I actually am.
What’s your secret to your 40s?

The weekend started early and it was absolutely worth it.
A wonderful crew rolled out their mats at 6:30 a.m. for Pilates, then traded them for paddles and headed out onto the calm water.
Movement, sunshine, fresh air, a few laughs and the loveliest company. This is how Saturday mornings should feel. 💜

I’m so excited and honestly a little emotional to be featured in the upcoming Summer 2026 issue of Arnprior Pulse Magazine. 📖✨
The story, Finding Strength, captures so much of what Morning Club means to me. Choosing yourself before the day gets loud. Moving your body. Connecting with your community. Discovering that strength can look like a sunrise, a side plank and a group of people cheering each other on at the beach.
Thank you to Arnprior Pulse for sharing my story and for highlighting the people, places and experiences that make our community so special. ❤️
And yes, the photo is me holding a side plank at McLean Beach, which feels very on brand.
Come experience Morning Club for yourself this weekend.

McLean Beach, Arnprior

📖 Arnprior Pulse Preview
As the sun rises over McLean Beach, another morning ritual quietly unfolds.
The river reflects the morning sky, birds call from the trees and the first rays of sunlight stretch across the water. Before the demands of the day begin, a small group gathers along the waterfront. At the centre of it all is Alicia Ott.
❤️ Finding Strength is one of the big-hearted stories you'll discover in the upcoming Summer 2026 issue of Arnprior Pulse Magazine.

“You only teach sooo early!”
Not this week, kids.
I’m teaching six classes this week, with lots of after-work options for anyone who would rather not meet me before the sun is fully awake.

Saturday Crew

Early birds, after-work people, and Saturday sleep-in lovers, there is officially a class for all of you this week.
Come move, laugh, shake, stretch, and question why eight reps suddenly feels like forty.

A new way of moving is showing up in class… and I am loving it.
We’re moving with more intention through 3–4 focused circuits, using shorter rep ranges, better control and just enough repetition to really feel the work.
My abs have been fired up. The movements feel more impactful. The results are starting to speak for themselves.
There have been a few extra glares in my direction… but still plenty of happy, sweaty faces at the end. I’ll take it.
Let’s move together with intention.
Friday at 6:30 AM
Sunday at 8:30 AM
