I love when I get to share amazing resources with you… and this is one of them 💙
Many of you know how passionate I am about helping women over 50 feel strong, energized, and in control of their health, especially during midlife and beyond.
That’s why I’m so excited that Cynthia Henry Thurlow is speaking right here in Richmond to talk about her new book The Menopause Gut.
If you’ve ever felt like your body has changed…
Your energy isn’t what it used to be…
or you’re doing “all the right things” but something still feels off...
This is the kind of conversation that can really open your eyes.
✨ Gut health
✨ Hormones
✨ Metabolism
✨ Energy
It’s all connected, and Cynthia does an incredible job breaking it down in a way that actually makes sense.
This is going to be a relaxed, intimate evening where you can learn, ask questions, and connect with other women who are navigating the same stage of life.
PLEASE RSVP by April 19 to Jane at [email protected]
📍 Richmond
🗓 Wednesday, April 22
🕡 6:30–8:30pm
If you’re local, I highly recommend going.
This is exactly the kind of education and support I want more of you to have access to.

❌ Stretching isn’t enough
💡 Mobility = movement with purpose
✨ Feel better, move better, live better
Try my new 8-video follow-along mobility series for women 50+. It’s your daily tune-up.
Mobility training helps your body move the way it’s designed to — freely and without pain
Knowing what to do isn’t the problem.
Doing it is.
That’s why accountability matters — someone in your corner who won’t let you quit on yourself.
Most women tell me this is the #1 reason they finally see results.
DM me “ Do it” and I’ll help you set up your accountability system.
💙 Thank You & Goodbye 💙
As I close the doors to my studio for the last time, I can’t help but reflect on everything that’s happened inside these walls.
The good times. The laughter. The friendships that turned into family.
The sweat that poured and the tears that fell.
The ups, the downs… and every single rep in between.
This space was built out of my love for helping people, helping YOU get stronger. Not just stronger physically, but mentally. Stronger in your confidence. Stronger in your belief in what you’re capable of.
It was never just a place to “work out.”
It was a place to belong.
A place where we pushed each other, supported each other, and celebrated every victory, big or small.
You showed up for yourself, but you also showed up for each other. And that made this more than a studio… it became a lifestyle, a community, and a home.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you. 💙
For trusting me. For sweating with me. For allowing me to be part of your journey.
This chapter may be closing, but the memories, the friendships, and the strength we built together will always be with me.
WE ARE NOT DONE!

She didn’t feel like herself anymore.
Tired. Stiff. Slipping behind.
At 56, Susan thought maybe this was just what aging felt like.
Her strength? Gone.
Her confidence? Fading.
Her spark? Nowhere in sight.
But then, she stopped waiting to “feel ready.”
And started with one small shift:
💪 A strength program built for her, not her 30-year-old self.
No crazy bootcamps.
No pressure to keep up.
Just real progress, one workout at a time.
Three months later, she was:
✔️ Deadlifting more than her grandkids weigh
✔️ Hiking without pain
✔️ Wearing clothes she actually liked
✔️ Smiling in the mirror again
She didn’t bounce back.
She moved forward with a plan, support, and belief that she’s not done yet.
You’re not either.
👉 Want to feel stronger this week?
Just drop a 💬 STRONG below or DM me and I’ll send you my FREE book STRONGER, HEALTHIER, HAPPIER.
Let’s make this your comeback season.
