The hardest part of the workout is sometimes the negotiation BEFORE the workout. 😂

“I should probably work out.”

But I’m tired.

Tomorrow?

Monday?

Next week?

Maybe when Mercury is in retrograde and all the conditions are finally perfect? 😂

Here’s what I’ve learned after all these years of coaching:

Sometimes starting is the hardest rep.

You don’t necessarily need more motivation.

Sometimes you need to remove as many decisions as possible.

What workout should I do?

How long?

What exercises?

How many sets?

Do I have enough time?

That’s exactly why I created SoulSpark Movement.

Your workout is already planned.

30 minutes.

Join me live or press play when it works for you.

Strength. Functional movement. Pilates.

You don’t have to figure it all out.

You just have to get past the negotiation and START.

And yes…Couch Kim complains about this too. 😂

Want to come move with me?

DM me MOVE and I’ll send you the details.

I sneezed.

Every woman over 40 just crossed her legs. 😂

Funny?

Absolutely.

But can we actually talk about this?

Because leaking a little urine when you sneeze, cough, laugh, jump or exercise is something a lot of women experience—and a lot of women quietly assume:

“Well…this is just what happens when you get older.”

Or:

“I guess I need to do more Kegels.”

Not necessarily.

Pelvic-floor symptoms can be more complicated than simply having a “weak” pelvic floor, and the right approach isn’t automatically doing 500 Kegels while you’re sitting at every red light. 😉

And here’s the part I really want women to hear:

COMMON doesn’t mean you have to quietly live with it.

If urinary leakage is happening regularly, bothering you, affecting exercise or changing what you’re comfortable doing, talk with an appropriate healthcare professional. A pelvic-health physiotherapist can also assess what’s actually going on and help determine an appropriate approach for you.

Because I don’t want women avoiding jumping.

Running.

Lifting.

Laughing.

Or living their lives because they’re worried about p*eing their pants.

And I REALLY don’t want us being too embarrassed to talk about it.

So apparently this week we’ve discussed libido AND p*e.

Welcome to SoulSpark. 😂

Send this to the girlfriend who knows EXACTLY why you crossed your legs when I sneezed.

Me at 3:17 PM looking for the snack that’s going to emotionally support me through the rest of the day. 😂

Open the pantry.

Nothing.

Open the fridge.

Nothing.

Walk away.

Come back 37 seconds later because apparently NEW FOOD might have appeared. 😂

But before you decide you have “no willpower” because you’re hunting for something sweet or salty every afternoon…

Let’s look upstream.

Did you eat enough earlier in the day?

Did your meals include enough protein and fibre?

Did you sleep like s**t last night?

Are you stressed?

Are you bored, tired or overwhelmed?

Or are you simply…hungry?

Sometimes we’re so quick to judge the craving that we never stop to ask what might be driving it.

And that’s the part I want women in midlife to get curious about.

Cravings aren’t a character flaw. They’re information.

Instead of immediately thinking:

❌ “I need more discipline.”

Try:

“What might my body be asking for right now?”

Sometimes the answer really IS a snack.

And that’s okay too. 😉

Now tell me:

👇 What’s your 3 PM kryptonite?

SWEET 🍫 or SALTY 🥨?

You slept like s**t last night. Do you REALLY need to push through the workout you had planned?

Not necessarily.

This is something I wish more women understood about training through menopause.

Your body doesn’t exist in a vacuum.

If you spent half the night awake, sweating, throwing the blankets off and putting them back on, your body is telling us something about the recovery you had.

And I want your movement plan to acknowledge that.

That doesn’t automatically mean do nothing.

It might mean:

💪 Strength training with a little less intensity
🚶‍♀️ Going for a walk
🧘‍♀️ Mobility or Pilates
⏱️ Doing 15–20 minutes instead of 45
😴 Prioritizing recovery

Adjusting the plan isn’t failing the plan.

That’s a HUGE distinction.

And outside your workouts, look at the basics too: consistent sleep/wake times, morning light, caffeine and alcohol, bedroom temperature, movement and stress management.

Persistent or significant sleep problems are also worth discussing with your healthcare provider. You don’t have to assume it’s simply something you have to tolerate because you’re in menopause.

And please remember:

You don’t have to punish an exhausted body to prove you’re committed.

Send this to your fellow 3 a.m. ceiling-staring friend. 😂

Blanket on. Blanket off. Leg out. Fan on. Blanket back on. Wide awake. 😩

Welcome to the glamorous world of menopause sleep.

You go to bed freezing.

At 2 AM you’re sweating like you’ve run a marathon.

At 3 AM you’re staring at the ceiling.

And at 7 AM you’re somehow expected to get up and function like a normal human being.

Then we wonder why everything feels harder.

When hot flashes and night sweats repeatedly disrupt your sleep, the effects don’t necessarily stay in the bedroom. Poor sleep can affect your energy, mood, appetite and cravings, and it can make sticking with exercise and other healthy habits feel so much harder.

So when a woman tells me:

“Kim, I just can’t stay consistent.”

I’m not immediately thinking she needs more discipline.

I’m asking:

“How are you sleeping?”

Because sometimes the problem isn’t that you don’t WANT to work out.

You’re freaking exhausted.

And that’s a very different problem to solve.

Anyone else currently playing blanket on → blanket off → blanket on all night? 😂

Tell me your night-sweat survival trick below. 👇

“Kim, I have NO energy. How am I supposed to exercise?”

This is something I hear from women in midlife all the time.

You wake up tired.

You push through work.

You take care of everyone and everything that needs you.

And then someone tells you:

“You just need to exercise more.”

Fantastic.

WITH WHAT ENERGY?

Here’s where I want to change the conversation.

Movement doesn’t have to leave you lying on the floor in a puddle to be worthwhile.

Some days, 30 minutes of strength feels great.

Some days, you walk.

Some days, you do 10 minutes and call it a win.

The goal is to gradually build your capacity — not punish your fatigue.

And this is important: don’t automatically write persistent or significant fatigue off as “just menopause.” There can be many reasons you’re exhausted, and it’s worth discussing with your healthcare provider.

But when it comes to movement?

Something doesn’t have to be everything to count.

Save this one for the day your energy tank is running on fumes. 💛

And tell me: when is YOUR energy lowest — morning, afternoon or evening?

Should you take a GLPs in menopause?

My answer isn’t automatically yes.

And it isn’t automatically no.

It’s maybe.

GLP medications can be an appropriate tool for some women when prescribed and monitored by a qualified healthcare professional.

But here’s the conversation I want more midlife women having:

What are you doing to support your body while you’re losing weight?

Because at 40, 50, 60 and beyond, I don’t only care about making the number on the scale smaller.

I care about your muscle. Strength. Bones. Energy. Nutrition. And your ability to keep doing the things you love as you age.

If you’re considering a GLP-or already taking one—I want strength training and adequate nutrition to be part of the conversation too.

Medication can be a tool.

It isn’t the whole toolbox.

Are you curious about GLPs in menopause? Drop a YES below. I’m thinking we need a whole series on this.

I’m not looking for women who can do this perfectly.

I’m looking for women who are ready.

Ready to stop trying to figure everything out alone.

Ready to stop starting over every Monday.

Ready to leave the all-or-nothing cycle behind.

Ready to follow through — not 100% of the time, but consistently enough that things finally start to change.

And ready to try a different approach to food, fitness and their changing midlife body.

You don’t need more motivation.

You need a plan that fits your life, someone who notices when you’re struggling, and support to help you keep going when real life inevitably happens.

That’s what we do inside SoulSpark Foundations.

I’m looking for women who want:

💛 Personalization
💛 Real accountability
💛 Education
💛 Support
💛 Strength
💛 Sustainable change

You don’t have to arrive ready to do everything.

You just have to be ready to begin.

If you’re reading this thinking, “Kim, you’re talking to me…”

You probably already know your next step.

Book your call. Let’s talk.

The biggest transformation wasn’t what happened on the scale.

Yes, she lost weight.

But she also had more energy.
She was sleeping better.
She felt stronger.
Her clothes fit differently.
She felt more confident in her body.

But when she told me:

“I trust myself again.”

THAT was the win.

Because she no longer believes one hard week means she’s failed.

She doesn’t have to wait for Monday.
She doesn’t have to start over.
She doesn’t have to be perfect.

She knows how to keep going — and she knows she has someone in her corner when things get messy.

That’s what I want women to take away from SoulSpark Foundations.

Not just results for 90 days.

The confidence to know you can keep going after them.

If you’re tired of starting over and you’re ready to build something you can actually stick with, DM me READY. 💛
