Are you DONE feeling stuck, overwhelmed, unhealthy, going around in circles—but not sure where to start?
Whether it’s with stress, people-pleasing, overeating, alcohol, or unhealthy habits, you know it’s time for change——but figuring out how to take the next step toward taking back control feels overwhelming.
This podcast is for women over 40 who’ve reached that pivotal moment of saying, “I’m done.”
Each week, I’ll share stories, practical tips, and real conversations to inspire you and guide you toward a calmer, more balanced life that aligns with what you truly want.
Maybe you’re feeling trapped…ready to quit alcohol, stop overeating and let go of unhealthy habits that no longer serve you. If you’re ready to make the changes that you want in your life, this podcast will give you the tools and insights to take those next steps with confidence.
You’ll also hear from experts and guests who’ve been through their own transformations. They’ll share their insights and actionable advice so you can avoid the pitfalls they’ve encountered and conquered.
I’ll, of course, bring my own experience too - I’ve been through this journey myself. I know what it’s like to feel stuck, stressed out, unhealthy and unsure of how to move forward. Over the past 16 years, I’ve not only transformed my own life but also helped thousands of women over 40 navigate their “I’m done” moments and create healthy, fulfilling lives they love.
If you’re ready to move beyond “I’m done” and step into a life where you thrive, you’re in the right place.

Do you often feel anxious and overwhelmed? Struggling under the pressures of family life and your career? For many years, everything in my life looked great from the outside.
I had a thriving successful women’s only gym, two small kids and a beautiful home. However, I was dying inside from the pressure of it all.
I would wake up every morning with a feeling of dread and anxiety. It felt in those moments like I’d take a deep breath in and not release it until I got to the couch that night.
I became unhealthy as a result of all this stress - uncomfortable in my clothes, unfit, bloated, sluggish and anxious.
In today’s podcast episode, I share with you how I broke free from that cycle of stress to become truly healthy, to never have to worry about my weight again, and how I’m able to feel peace and calm throughout the day, no matter what’s going on in my work life.

How do you know when your mindset is holding you back? What drives you to overeat, to skip workouts, to stop taking healthy action? When you figure this out, you can make big leaps forward in progress.
The solution to getting fit and healthy is not in the tracker apps. I believe all that stuff does is give you disordered eating and make you obsessed. What if you've been looking in the wrong places all this time? What if it's not you, but the way you've been approaching getting fit and healthy?
This is what I chat with you about in today's podcast episode. Click play and let's dive in.

I’m so excited to introduce you to my guest on the show today, Alana Kirk, who is a certified coach, best-selling author and motivational speaker. Alana is chatting to me today about how to get out of survival mode and into thriving mode.
As The Midlife Coach, she empowers women to thrive in, not just survive midlife, which today is a decades long stage from our 30's to our 60's. She supports women to find clarity, confidence and direction in the mayhem of midlife, in the areas of:
- relationships - including marriage, divorce, and post-divorce relationships.
- career - getting back, moving on, changing it up
- a new life stage - juggling family and career, post-family adventure, post-marriage adventure
She is the best selling author of The Sandwich Years, and her latest book Midlife, redefined: Better, Bolder, Brighter is a self-guide so the reader ends up with her own bespoke midlife (wo)manual.
An experienced speaker, Alana gives corporate talks and workshops, as well as running her own events. She writes a successful Substack newsletter called Your Midlife Matters.
Alana is a regular contributor to newspapers and magazines, and guest on TV and radio. She can be found at www.themidlifecoach.org, on Instagram @midlifecoach and at https://alanakirk.substack.com/
