A look back from behind the scenes for my first ever Empowered Cohort💥 A few things have been tweaked along the way, but this is a fun way for you to see how the setup works for my online class.

Our next 6 week Cohort will kick off on Tuesday November 10th at 5:30pm. I would LOVE for you to join a small group of us online💪 Six weeks is only $227 and you get all the weekly replays as well. Sign up with an Accountability Ally and get $50 off. DM “Empowered” to grab your spot now.

Grip strength has been shown to correlate with longevity. A really easy thing is to buy an inexpensive pull up bar that self mounts in a door frame and practice hanging with your feet touching the ground or a chair. Work up to a 20 second hang then keep practicing. It also feels GREAT to stretch the back!

✨ Make JOY a priority! ✨

One of the best ways to stay energized, inspired, and motivated is to make time for the things we LOVE—and to keep learning and trying new things along the way🤍

For me, that means getting to a weekly dance class!💃 It shakes up my routine, pushes me outside my comfort zone, and never fails to put a HUGE smile on my face—even on the most challenging days!

Life gets busy, and it’s easy to put ourselves and the things that light us up on the back burner. But sometimes, the very thing we need to recharge is to do more of what brings us JOY✨

So, here’s your little reminder this week: Do something that makes you happy. Try something new. Challenge yourself. Have fun!

💫 What’s ONE thing you can do this week to bring more JOY into your life or learn something new?

My advice? GO FOR IT! You never know where a little joy might lead you💜

Don’t aim for “perfection”… spoiler alert: it’s not attainable anyway.
•
Just commit to ONE round. It can even be only 3 exercises!
•
Cool thing is, once you allow yourself the freedom of a small task usually once the good endorphins kick in, you’ll do more.
•
Of course if you’re sick or injured or something, take the rest day & honor that. But if you’re just tired & had planned on the workout today, try this mind trick.
•
And, if you want to join a small group of us online for the Empowered Cohort 3.0, DM me for more details. Six weeks is only $227. $50 off for each of you if you sign up with an Accountability Ally 💪🏽

Interestingly, I’d say this is what we get thanked for the most: compassionately & humanely letting beloved pets go 💔.
•
I knew this was part of the job when I took my oath 28 years ago.
•
It’s not gotten any easier. It hurts my heart to see the family beyond sad about this painful decision. I’ve been in their shoes. It’s no easier for us when it’s our own pet.
•
If you are feeling all the sadness over anything in your life, allow it. Let it out.
•
Our feelings are what make us human.
•
Your vet may have just had to do this before they walked into your exam room with your healthy pet. Not looking for pity; just want to share about a difficult subject that I wasn’t even in the mood to post about. Yet, if it helps someone than that’s what matters 🩶

Cat owners!! Ladies!!
•
I’m a veterinarian and a trainer for women over 40– so I get to see the same truth from two different exam tables.
•
Hold onto your muscle in midlife and everything downstream gets easier. For you. And for your cat.
•
You: lift heavy stuff (safely) and prioritize protein (yes, more than you think.)
•
Your cat: losing muscle in middle age can DOUBLE the risk of an early death. We simply cannot have that for our fur babies!!
•
Do this:
• Play with your kitty daily. Encourage jumping (if safe for kitty)
• Give kitty things to climb and leap to—“up” is their version of a squat.
• Make her work for a meal with a a puzzle feeder instead of a full bowl.
• Once a month, run your hand down his spine. Bony ridges you did not feel before = muscle slipping. Catch it early.
•
You: pick ONE thing this week: add protein to one meal OR do 10 air squats (demo link: https://youtube.com/shorts/x4zTlmgSevM?is=hnDPNWTdT46xyiq4)
•
Studies: “Patterns of morbidity, multi morbidity, and mortality in aging cats: findings from seven years of the cat prospective aging and welfare study (catPAWS)” 2026
JAMA Network Open, LaMonte et al, Feb 13, 2026 (human study, 5000 women, 8 year follow up)
•
Please share this with another cat owner 🙏🏽

Please honor your beautiful body.
•
Fuel with nutritious food even before you go out to eat.
•
Your future health will thank you for it.
