Her Health Compass with Yonni & Heather: From Bestsellers to Barbells: A Former Editor's Midlife Reinvention

From Bestsellers to Barbells: A Former Editor's Midlife Reinvention Before she was coaching women through strength training and hormone shifts, this week's guest was deep in the world of book publishing and public relations. Today, she's a holistic midlife and menopause coach based in Greenwich, CT, and a Studio Leader at Life Time in Harrison, NY. Over the past decade, she's helped women of all ages reclaim their health through fitness, nutrition, and mindset work. In this episode, we talk about the career pivot that took her from editing manuscripts to coaching bodies and minds, what she wishes more women understood about perimenopause and menopause, and why strength training looks different (and matters more) in midlife. We also get into the mindset piece. How do we separate what's actually happening to our bodies hormonally from the stories we tell ourselves about aging, energy, and capability. Whether you're in the thick of menopause, anticipating it, or just curious what a truly holistic approach to midlife health looks like, this conversation is full of practical, grounded wisdom. Hilary Rifkin is a 61-year-old former book editor and public relations executive. She has spent  the last decade empowering women of all ages through fitness, nutrition and mindset coaching. Hilary is now  a holistic midlife and menopause coach based in Greenwich, CT. She is also Studio Leader at Life Time in Harrison, NY.  Find Yonni & Heather here https://www.herhealthcompass.com/
