The Middle Aged and Tired AF Challenge
Mar 03, 2026
I remember the exact day I signed up for a new fitness challenge.
I was READY.
Prepared to follow all the "rules."
Track my macros.
Stocking up on tubs of cottage cheese.
Lifting heavy as possible 3–4 times a week.
Get my 10k steps in.
Eat protein at every meal.
Join some online community full of random strangers on the internet who were "like minded"...
You know… all the same bullshit.
I started strong.
Got all my groceries. Planned my workouts. Started tracking. Got my. heavy weights. Started walking. more.
By day two there was this tiny whisper inside me that said:
"I really don’t want to do this shit."
"Nor do I even want to look like this person."
And that’s when it all clicked.
What worked in my 20s wasn’t going to be what worked in my 40s.
White-knuckling my way through workouts I hated.
Forcing routines that felt heavy.
Pushing myself to walk more when I was already busy with 3 kids.
Living by someone else’s blueprint.
It wasn’t sustainable anymore.
....or enjoyable.
So I started slowing down and actually eating intuitively.
I began honouring my own rhythm.
Spending way more time on my yoga mat.
Moving in ways that felt nourishing instead of punishing.
But there was still that pesky inner voice…
“That’s not enough.”
“You should be doing more.”
“This doesn’t count.”
Turns out, the real work wasn’t lifting heavier.
It was learning how to shut that bitch up for good.
And guess what?
When I did… everything got easier.
My body felt safer.
My nervous system softened.
My results actually improved.
And I stopped feeling like I was constantly failing at some imaginary standard.
That’s exactly why The Middle Aged & Tired AF Challenge starts as soon as you sign up right here.
AKA.... The Rise and Shine Challenge.
Not another grind.
Not another punishment plan.
Not another “fix yourself” formula.
No stupid supplements or quick fixes.
But a permission slip to do life differently now.
And one more thing…
I unlocked 11 brand new Yin Yoga self-led classes inside Mindset Mastery.
That’s right... self-led.
Because when you learn to listen to your own truth…
When you honour your body and your life the way it truly deserves…
That’s when you become the happiest, healthiest, and hottest version of YOU.
