From Smaller to Stronger: A Different Kind of Summer Body Goal

from The Vibrant Mom Podcast · host Cara Maiolo, LPC

Summer arrives and something in your mindset might amplify. Maybe you're still getting used to this year's body in a bathing suit. Maybe it's the beach vacation where you spend more time in your head than in the water. The familiar voice that starts calculating, comparing, reaching for the same response it's always reached for, delay eating or eat less, run a little longer, try to get smaller to feel less self-conscious. You've been carrying that voice since you were a young person. Be attractive, be smaller. And in midlife, it's the perfect opportunity to shift this mindset, and embrace a different way of being with and seeing your body. Key Takeaways: Making the mindset transition from smaller to stronger and why midlife is the perfect time for this change up. Why restriction and the idea of long workout sessions are actually working against your physiology and schedule. What health experts say midlife women's bodies actually need to thrive and the midlife body framework: the practices that genuinely support you in your 40's and beyond. This episode is an invitation to renew your relationship with your body and step into a way of being and relating to yourself that is expansive, responsive and empowered.
