108. The Mind-Body Shift Women Need After 40 with Lindsay Heiserman

Lindsay Heiserman shares how combining exercise science, counseling training, and life coaching creates a more complete path to health—because you can’t separate mental wellbeing from physical wellbeing. Together we talk about simple, doable self-care (even on your busiest days), stress relief through movement, and how to rebuild body confidence after injury, illness, or major life changes.Key takeawaysYou don’t need hours for self-care: start with one small action (a 10-minute walk, one vegetable, one glass of water).Consistency beats intensity—protecting a simple routine can be the difference between coping and spiraling.“Boundaries” often start as saying yes to yourself, not just saying no to other people.Movement can be one of the fastest ways to move stress through the body instead of letting it build.Body changes after 40 (or after illness/injury) can be a turning point: shift from “smaller” goals to “stronger/healthier” goals.Acceptance doesn’t mean giving up—it means choosing your next step from a grounded place.Trying new things (beginner energy) can be “good stress” that builds resilience and confidence.Lindsey Heiserman is a coach with a background in exercise science and counseling who helps people build healthier habits through both movement and mindset.Connect with Lindsey:🌐 Website: www.lindseyheiserman.com📸 Instagram: @lindseyheisermancoaching📧 Email: [email protected]💌 Newsletter ("Life Coach Letter"): Subscribe hereThank you for listening to Creating Sunshine!
