Wife. Mom of two. Nearly 30 years in fitness and wellness.
Hi, I'm Michele.
As I approach 50, I'm not trying to recreate who I used to be. I'm asking a different question: what does the strongest, healthiest, most honest version of me look like today? This is where I'm answering it, out loud, for anyone who wants to come along.
Honest wellness for women over 40.
MY MISSION
My path started with a change of major, from nursing to Exercise Science, and grew from there. I built an in-home personal training business from the ground up, then expanded it into two fitness studios.
Then life handed me a new title: Mom. I stepped back from the studios I'd worked so hard to build to focus on my family, and I don't regret a single day of it. But somewhere in the middle of showing up for everyone else, I noticed I'd lost touch with parts of myself.
What's next
What's next, is the whole picture.
This isn't a return to who I was before. I'm exploring what it actually takes to feel well in midlife: movement, nutrition, sleep, mindset, relationships, confidence, stress, all of it. Not one piece in isolation. I'm sharing what I'm learning as I learn it, because I have a feeling I'm not the only one asking "what's next for me?"
Follow Along.
