For women over 40, navigating the relationship between self-love and health goals can feel like a tightrope walk. On one hand, you’re encouraged to embrace and love yourself unconditionally, celebrating the wisdom and strength that comes with age. On the other hand, there’s a desire—or sometimes a societal pressure—to work on your health, fitness, or weight. These goals can feel contradictory, but they don’t have to be. Loving yourself and striving for better health can coexist beautifully. In fact, self-love can be the foundation for making healthier choices, and the pursuit of health can be an act of love for your body. Here’s how to find that balance.   Come find us on the socials!

If you've been looking for a more mindful, sustainable way to approach weight loss, the hunger-fullness scale might be the tool you need. Rather than rigid rules or calorie-counting, this scale helps you tune into your body’s natural hunger cues and stop eating when you’re satisfied.

In our journey to better health, there are often times when we feel stuck, defeated, and unable to make progress, no matter how hard we try. If you’ve ever found yourself saying, “I’ve tried everything, and nothing works,” or “It’s just too late for me to change,” you might be experiencing what psychologists call learned helplessness. This mindset can hold you back from reaching your health goals, but the good news is that it’s possible to overcome it. Let’s explore what learned helplessness is, how it shows up in our health habits, and practical steps to break free from it.

Recently I was scrolling through social media, and I heard this clip about wanting something isn’t the same as doing it, thinking about isn’t the same as doing it, hoping for it doesn’t mean doing it. It's a common trap: we spend a lot of time thinking about our health goals, discussing them with friends, or even planning how we'll get there. But as comforting as these actions might be, they aren’t the same as actually doing what’s necessary to make those changes happen. The reality is, no amount of hoping or talking can replace the power of consistent, purposeful action. Let’s dig deeper into why thinking, hoping, and talking often give us a false sense of progress—and what we can do to break free from this cycle.   Instagram: www. instagram.com/wholehealthempower FB Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/619968441854520/ 3 Way to eat better workbook: https://triciard.com/workbook/ GRAB YOUR FREEBIE HERE! 5 things you should be doing today if you are over 40! https://upbeat-hustler-2294.ck.page/06d0e2ccf9 Whole Health Empowerment FB group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/wholehealthempower Website: https://triciard.com/
