You’ve tried every diet. You’ve done the work. So why does the weight keep coming back—especially now, in menopause?
Because it was never really about the food.
I joined Linda Mitchell on the Sisterhood of Sweat Podcast to get into the real reason women get stuck in the diet-regain cycle—and why the answer isn’t more willpower, a better plan, or cutting out another food group. It’s about understanding why you eat when you’re not hungry, and what that reveals about everything else going on in your life.
I spent decades losing and regaining the same 20–30 pounds, convinced I had a weight problem. What I actually had was a feeling problem. And when I finally stopped numbing out with food—I didn’t just lose weight. I left a 35-year career and stepped into the work I was meant to do.
That’s what’s available to you too.
In this episode, we talk about why your 50s aren’t a setback—they’re a signal. Your emotions are louder, your body isn’t responding the way it used to, and that uncomfortable “something needs to change” feeling? That’s not a problem. That’s your soul talking.
Listen if you’re ready to stop fighting your body and finally understand what it’s actually asking for. Enjoy the show!
