You’re not broken. You’ve just never had someone actually address it.

I’ve partnered with Hinge Health because it makes that SO easy to do. Access to virtual physical therapy, personalized programs for pelvic floor, back pain, and joint issues, daily movement sessions that take just a few minutes, and a licensed PT in your corner — all from your phone.

And it may be covered by your employer or health plan.

Most women are missing one key piece in their training… power. 🚀

We focus so much on slow, controlled strength (which matters), but plyometrics are what teach your body to produce force quickly. And that’s where real performance, resilience, and long-term health come in.

For women, especially in their 30s, 40s, and beyond, plyometrics aren’t just about athleticism. They’re about bone density.

High-impact, explosive movements send a signal to your bones to stay strong and dense. This is one of the most effective ways to combat the natural decline that comes with age.

They also directly improve your lifts. When you train power first, you recruit more muscle fibers and “wake up” your nervous loop system. That means stronger, more efficient squats, deadlifts, and lunges. You’re not just moving weight… you’re producing force.

Start simple. A few sets of jumps, bounds, or med ball slams at the beginning of your workout can completely change how your body performs.

This is how we train at Sage Society. Strong, powerful, and built for the long term.

I have a confession. I have been a trainer for almost 20 years, I know exactly how hard I should be pushing myself, and I still work out at a completely different level the second another person walks into the room. 🫣

Not because they’re paying attention to me. They absolutely are not. But something in my brain decides that this is now a challenge and I will not be the one who gives up.

Hence why I have my own trainer and attend other people’s classes regularly.

I built Sage Society around this exact phenomenon because I’ve seen it work for women over and over again. The programming matters. The coaching matters.

But what actually keeps women coming back is the room. It’s the other women who show up on the days they don’t feel like it, who modify without apology, who cheer for each other without even realizing they’re doing it. That kind of environment is not something you can replicate at home or at a big box gym. It’s something you have to be inside of to understand.

Your first class is free. Come see what I mean.

Postpartum recovery doesn’t start after birth… it starts during pregnancy.

Because how you move, breathe, and support your body for 9 months directly impacts how you heal after. Core connection, pelvic floor awareness, posture, and strength aren’t just “nice to have” while you’re pregnant… they’re the foundation for everything that comes next. The truth is, your body isn’t broken after baby. It’s responding to what it was (or wasn’t) prepared for.

When you train intentionally during pregnancy, you’re not just working out. You’re building a body that knows how to recover. Less guesswork. Less dysfunction. More strength, stability, and confidence walking into postpartum.

This is exactly why we focus on smart, supportive strength training through every stage at Sage Society 🤍

There’s so much stigma around GLP-1s and peptides right now… and most women are navigating it quietly.

Because the moment someone says they are using them, it feels like everything they’ve been doing suddenly gets discounted. Like the early mornings, the strength training, the nutrition, the consistency… none of it “counts” anymore. So instead, women stay silent. They carry the shame. They downplay their results.

But here’s the truth… these tools don’t replace the work. They support it.

When used intentionally (and for the right people), GLP-1s and peptides can be incredibly helpful. Especially during perimenopause, when hormones are shifting, hunger signals feel louder, recovery changes, and body composition becomes harder to manage. They can create the space your body needs to actually respond to your efforts.

But they are not the solution on their own.

If you’re not strength training, prioritizing protein, and building real muscle… you’re not setting yourself up for long-term success. You’re setting yourself up to lose weight without building the foundation to keep it off. Muscle is what protects your metabolism. Muscle is what gives you shape, strength, and longevity.

The goal isn’t just to weigh less. It’s to be stronger, more resilient, and feel at home in your body again.

The only mistake is thinking they do the work for you 🤍

This season has been exciting, but also overwhelming in ways I didn’t fully expect. A lot of growth, a lot of moving pieces, and a lot of moments where I’ve felt stretched in every direction. I’m someone who likes to have a plan and a sense of control. When things feel uncertain my instinct is to grip tighter and try to organize, fix, and manage every detail.

But lately I’ve been reminded that not everything is meant to be controlled. Some things unfold on their own timeline whether you’re ready or not. I’ve caught myself trying to control the small things because the bigger things feel out of my hands. And maybe that’s just part of being human. The work right now is learning to zoom out. To keep my eyes on the long term vision even when the path isn’t perfectly clear.

So I’ve been grounding myself in the things that fuel my soul. The work I love. My health. The women who walk through the doors every day and remind me why this matters. And the people in my life who bring light when things feel heavy. Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is keep showing up, keep moving forward, and trust that the season you’re in is shaping you for the next one.
