If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed by all of it lately… you’re not the only one.

The routines, the products, the advice, the pressure to keep up—it’s a lot. And most of it doesn’t make life any better.

At some point, I just stopped trying to do everything “right” and started paying attention to what actually made me feel good again. Not perfect—just better.

That’s the space I care about now.
Taking care of your skin, your body, your energy… in a way that fits your real life.

Not more. Just better.

😩 Before you panic, let’s talk about what’s normal vs. what’s NOT.

Here’s the deal—some hair shedding is totally healthy (yes, even in perimenopause). But excessive thinning, brittle strands, or bald patches? That’s your body waving a big red flag 🚩—and your gut health might be the culprit.

Your hair is literally a reflection of what’s happening inside. If your gut is inflamed, imbalanced, or struggling to absorb nutrients, your hair pays the price. 🥴

So before you drop $$$ on another shampoo or supplement, let’s get to the root of the issue (pun intended 😉).

I’ve been taking something that’s helped me reduce inflammation and lose way less hair than most women my age. And let’s just say… my shower drain is thanking me.

Every single class. Somebody’s cold, somebody’s hot, someone loves the music loud, someone doesn’t, and somehow I control the thermostat and am live DJ’ing while instructing.

Instructors, drop your most repeated one below.

In all honesty, none of this really bothers me. It’s just the reality of teaching.😂❤️ taken in Sarasota, Florida by @brokenbutgrafted

There was a night a few months ago when I sat in my car in the driveway for twenty minutes before going inside. Nothing was wrong. Business was fine. But I knew something had shifted in me, and I wasn't ready to say it out loud yet.

That's the hardest part of this industry that nobody talks about. You build something with your own two hands. You bring women in who trust you. Your income, your friendships, and your identity get tied up in it. So when something stops feeling right, you can't just walk away. You stay quiet. You tell yourself it's just a season. You keep showing up and smiling.

I did that for a while. And then I couldn't anymore.

So to every woman who has made a shift this year, whether you moved to another company or left the industry completely, I'm proud of you. I know what it took. This is the only industry I've seen where women get shade for making a business decision for themselves. In corporate, someone takes a new job and we say congratulations. Why can't we do that here?

And if you're the one sitting in your car right now, I see you. You're not crazy and you're not ungrateful. You're allowed to listen to that feeling.

My DMs are open. 🤍 by @brokenbutgrafted

I’m not here to tell you how many carbs to eat. I just don’t want fear to be the reason you skip them. I’m still learning, and the more I study, the more I look at my plate differently.

If your skin has been reacted to the products that you’re using lately or you’re finding yourself breaking out, something is triggering it.

Stop and take a look at the ingredients in your skincare products, knowing what’s in there gives you more control of the results are looking for. by @brokenbutgrafted

20+ years in, I had the cars, the incentive trips, and teams that moved millions in product. I also had a mind that never turned off and a schedule that ran my life. I didn’t lose faith in the industry. I lost myself in it. Somewhere along the way I forgot who I was really working for.

Right when I was ready to close the doors, I started to see that every year in the trenches was building me for something bigger. Now I’m in rooms I used to only dream about. After a lot of conversations with Christopher, I’m stepping into something new, and this time I’m building it differently, with Jesus at the center and impact over income.

If you’ve ever been tired and wondered whether to quit or keep going, I see you.

I almost talked myself out of taking this class. Already taught two back to back in a 100° room, and part of me said that was enough for one day. Then I remembered giving to everyone else doesn’t count if I never show up for myself too.

So this is your reminder… if you’re constantly giving your time and energy to so many others and failing to give that same time and energy to yourself, to PAUSE, and take a moment for yourself. ❤️ by @brokenbutgrafted

The workouts change, the schedule changes, some weeks it’s barely happening at all. What actually built anything was just not quitting on the whole thing. Cheers to YOU!!! taken in Sarasota, Florida by @brokenbutgrafted

If you’ve only ever seen me on the reformer, this is new. @bodyhotpilates is hot mat, sculpt, and a room between 95° - 100°… Come join me a couple times a week and enjoy the heat, literally. Difference muscles, different sweat, different challenge, same obsession.

Don’t worry, you’ll still see me on the reformer throughout the week too at BODYBAR in Sarasota, Lakewood Ranch, and Osprey. Now just offering more ways to kick your a$$ in the studios. IYKYK 🥰🔥 taken in Sarasota, Florida by @brokenbutgrafted

I keep seeing all these questions about why certain foods suddenly feel different impair menopause. Shoot, I had some of the same questions.

Instead of continuing to ask, I figured I’d get straight to a solution. And I want to encourage any woman that is also struggling with some of these things to look into what possibly food allergy testing can do for you as well. Even if you’ve had something done several years ago, your body can change.

Take this as your sign to take the next step forward. 🥰 Have questions? Let’s talk about it below or you can jump inside my community — The Midlife Edit by @brokenbutgrafted
