Linda Stephens is helping midlife women exude confidence, and feel sexy in their skin again while living authentically. She doesn't just put you through an unsustainable diet that's going to "change your life in 8 weeks"- rather, she helps you optimize your lifestyle and eating habits so you can still enjoy life and have fun while also feeling your absolute best.  In this episode we talk about: How Linda went from professional bodybuilding to coaching midlife women  Why it suddenly becomes harder to lose weight as you age How Linda coaches her clients to change their lifestyles rather than going on restrictive diets Reframing nutrition as part of self-care Why it's so important to be proactive rather than reactive and invest in your health now Example of how to prioritize your health when you're "too busy" Why quick fixes like juice cleanses, detoxes, and restrictive diets don't work Why strength training is so important- yes, even for women!
