Do this today: go unfollow that fitness influencer.
The one you keep comparing yourself to.
The one whose meal prep makes you feel like a failure.
The one whose “routine” is really just a performance.

Here’s the truth nobody wants to say: she’s miserable.
Those abs aren’t balance they’re obsession and restriction dressed up as “discipline.”
That perfect food isn’t sustainable it’s a full-time job she’s monetized.
That glow? Hours of makeup, lighting, and angles.

She’s not living her life. She’s performing it for the algorithm and the brand deals.

And you’re comparing your real, messy, beautiful body the one that’s loved, worked, and survived to a filtered highlight reel… and deciding you’re not enough.

That’s the real problem.
Not your body. Not your willpower.
You were taught to hate yourself by chasing an impossible standard that doesn’t exist.

Real, sustainable weight loss doesn’t look like Instagram.
It looks like peace.
Pizza without spiraling.
Movement that feels good.
A woman who isn’t at war with herself.

Inside Life Upgrade, we help you find what works for your body and your real life not what sells online.

✨ DM me “UNPERFECT” if you’re ready to stop chasing someone else’s body and start trusting your own.

You’re waiting for rock bottom. Waiting for things to get so bad that you finally change.

But here’s the truth: you’re already there.

You hate how you look in photos. You avoid mirrors. You feel exhausted, frustrated, angry at yourself. You’re stuck in the same cycle you’ve been in for years and you’re still waiting for it to get worse.

How much worse does it need to be? Losing a relationship? A job? Hitting some imaginary rock bottom before you decide you’re worth saving?

Because rock bottom is a myth. There’s no magical moment where everything clicks. No moment where change suddenly feels easy. There is no floor.

There’s only this moment. Right now. And the choice you make in it.

You can keep waiting for motivation, for the perfect time, for things to fall apart.
Or you can decide that right now is enough. Not because you feel ready. Not because it’s perfect. But because you’ve decided you’re worth it.

That decision is what changes everything. Not your circumstances but your standards. You decide that your life, your peace, and your freedom matter enough to do the work.

Inside Life Upgrade, we work with women who are done waiting and ready to choose themselves and we help them create real change, starting now.

This is your sign. This is your moment.

✨ DM me “I’M READY” if you’re done waiting and ready to change.

I need to say this out loud because I see it everywhere, and it’s breaking my heart.

You’re not healthy. You’re just orthorexic and calling it wellness.
You’ve replaced binge eating with obsessive meal prep. You’ve replaced restriction with “clean eating.” You’ve replaced the shame of being “bad” with the pride of being “good.” But the cage is still a cage... it’s just prettier now.

Here’s what I see: Women who count every macro like it’s a moral score. Women who panic if they eat a piece of bread. Women who spend three hours researching the “best” protein powder. Women who feel like failures if they miss their green smoothie. Women who’ve turned their body into a project that’s never, ever complete.

This isn’t health. This is control wearing a wellness label.
Real health isn’t about perfection. It’s not about having the “right” foods in your pantry or the “right” workout routine or the “right” body. Real health is being able to eat pizza with your friends without spiraling. Real health is trusting your body. Real health is peace.

And I know peace feels impossible right now because you’ve been taught that your body is the problem. That you need to be managed, controlled, optimized. That there’s always something wrong that needs fixing.

But what if the problem isn’t your body? What if the problem is that you’ve never learned how to be at home in it?

Inside Life Upgrade, we don’t replace one obsession with another. We teach you how to let go of the need to control everything your food, your body, your worth. We teach you how to trust yourself again. We teach you what actual freedom feels like.

It’s not green juice. It’s not perfect macros. It’s not a six-pack. It’s peace. It’s ease. It’s being able to live your life without your body being the constant enemy.

✨ DM me “FREEDOM” if you’re ready to stop performing wellness and actually feel it.

You’re not the problem.
The diet industry is.
Life Upgrade isn’t about rules it’s about reconnection.
To your body. Your mind. Your power.
You ready?

We just wrapped up the From Food Overthinking to Food Freedom FREE Masterclass last night and if you joined us, you already know: it’s time to do things differently.

Now we begin the next step…
🌸 FREE 5-Day Weight Loss Challenge for Women 40+ 🌸 ✨

This is not a push program.

This is where you stop guessing, stop blaming your body, and finally start listening to it.

Here’s what you’ll get inside the challenge:
✔️ 5 days of live, real-time coaching with me
✔️ A complete workbook + daily worksheets to personalize your path
✔️ Tools to regulate your nervous system, manage cravings, and feel calmer around food
✔️ A flexible food and mood tracker... no rules, no pressure
✔️ Clarity on hormones, stress, sleep, and why your body hasn’t responded to past efforts
✔️ A clear 4-week plan to carry your progress forward
✔️ Access to a private, supportive space where women 40+ truly get it

🧠 You’ll learn why what you’ve tried hasn’t worked… and what actually does especially after 40.

⭐ Important ⭐
This challenge is hosted exclusively inside the Yeah the girls 40+ Australia Facebook group, BUT if you don’t use Facebook, no problem... it’s also streamed live via Zoom and all sessions are recorded.

📹 Want to start by watching the Masterclass replay first?
I walk you through my Freedom Framework.. it’s 40 minutes of clarity that will shift how you see your body and food for good.

Just comment “Replay Please” and I’ll send it your way.

Already over 50 women have joined the challenge but there's still time for you.
