Feeling Stuck? Here’s How to Get Moving Again—No Matter Where You Are in Life. Do you ever find yourself saying, “It’s not that bad…”—even when you know deep down something needs to change? Whether it’s your health, your relationships, or the way you’re showing up in your own life, feeling stuck is something we all go through—especially in midlife.In this powerful and deeply honest episode, I’m joined by Yvette Salva—personal trainer, life coach, and survivor—who shares her inspiring journey from addiction and homelessness to health, recovery, and service. Together, we unpack the emotional roadblocks that keep us from making change, and the three simple (but not always easy) steps to finally get unstuck and move forward.Yvette’s story is raw, real, and ridiculously empowering—and her wisdom is exactly what you need if you’re feeling overwhelmed, discouraged, or unsure of your next step. Yvette Salva is an entrepreneur, keynote speaker, and founder of a private training studio helping women over 40 feel strong and confident. She focuses on mindset, nutrition, and fitness to show that midlife is not a crisis but a new season. Her message is simple: the best is yet to come.In this episode:Yvette’s candid journey from addiction to long-term sobriety and healingWhy the gut whisper never lies—and how to start trusting yours againThe 3 essential steps to getting unstuck: Awareness, Acceptance, and ActionHow “It’s not that bad” thinking can quietly sabotage your goalsThe power of support, structure, and accountability in midlife transformationWhy paying attention often starts with paying for commitmentWhat it really takes to build a life you love—even after hitting rock bottom Resources Mentioned:Website: https://yvettesalvafitness.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/yvettesalvafitness  Connect with me, Dr. Sara Poldmae:Website: https://risingwomanproject.comInstagram:  https://www.instagram.com/drsarapoldmaeHave a question I can answer?
