  • 45 | Summer Fitness for Real Life: Easy Moves for Women Over 40
    Jul 9 2025

    Hello Beautiful!

    If you’ve ever looked at your summer schedule, felt the heat, and thought, “I just don’t have it in me to work out today…” this episode is for you.

    Summer fitness can feel extra hard in midlife—between hot flashes, busy days, and bodies that don’t recover the way they used to, it’s easy to put movement on the back burner. But here’s the truth: staying active doesn’t have to mean long, sweaty workouts or big blocks of time.

    In this episode, I’m sharing small, simple ways to move your body that actually fit into your life—and might even feel like a little celebration each time you do them.

    You’ll learn:

    • Why short, gentle movement sessions can be better for your body than one long workout
    • Easy fitness ideas for busy women over 40—no gym, no gear, no fuss
    • How to mix slow-twitch, fast-twitch, balance, and stretching work (without overcomplicating it)
    • Why every small bit of movement is a win for your health, strength, and confidence

    I also share my favorite LifePro shake plate for building strength in just minutes a day—you can check it out at https://lifeprofitness.com/products/the-waver-vibration-platform and use code michellerose for a discount!

  • 43 | Summer Skincare for Midlife Women: How to Hydrate, Calm & Care For Your Skin (Face + Body)
    Jun 25 2025

    Hello Beautiful!

    I’m so glad you’re here because this week kicks off our Summer Series—and we’re starting with something that’s been coming up a LOT lately: summer skincare for midlife women.

    If your skin has been acting out lately—tight, shiny, red, or just off—you are not alone. The heat, the sweat, and the hormonal shifts in midlife create a perfect storm for skin frustration.

    In this episode, I’m sharing:

    • Why your usual skincare routine might be a little too much for summer
    • How to figure out if your skin is actually dry... or just super dehydrated and overwhelmed
    • The body areas we never talk about (like underboob and inner thighs) and how to keep them calm and comfy
    • A few of my favorite clean, midlife-friendly products that actually help soothe and hydrate without being heavy
    • And some easy changes you can make to feel more confident and comfortable in your skin all summer long

    Also—if you’ve been guessing at what your skin needs, let’s stop that today. You can grab a free skin analysis at makinglifebeautifulagain.com, and I’ll help you figure out what’s really going on.

    And because I want you to take action on what we talked about, I’ve got a free Summer Skincare Workbook waiting for you inside the Making Life Beautiful Again Facebook group. You’ll love it.

    💬 One more thing—our Saturday Morning PJ Party is coming up on August 2nd at 9am CST! We’re celebrating ONE YEAR of livestreams together, and I would love for you to join. It’s happening on Zoom, but the link is only going out to email subscribers and facebook group members—so make sure you’re in one of those before the big day!

    Thanks for being here with me today. I can’t wait to hear what little shift makes the biggest difference for your skin this summer.

    Hit play, and let’s dive in.

    XO,

    Michelle

  • 41 | Let's Talk Hormones: Why 'Normal' Lab Results Don't Mean You're Okay
    Jun 11 2025

    Hey friend,

    Have you ever walked away from a doctor’s appointment, labs in hand, thinking, “Okay… but if everything’s ‘normal,’ why do I still feel so off?”

    You’re not alone.

    This episode is for the woman who’s exhausted, foggy, gaining weight, waking up at 3am, or just not feeling like herself—but keeps getting told, “Everything looks fine.”

    We’re talking about:

    • What hormone labs are really telling you (especially if they’re in the low end of normal)

    • How to connect your symptoms with what’s happening inside your body

    • The role of thyroid and cortisol (often overlooked but key!)

    • Why now is the perfect time to build a personal hormone baseline—even if you feel great

    • What to do next… even if HRT isn’t on the table

    Hit play, and let’s dive in.

  • 40 | Wait… This Is Perimenopause?! No One Warned Me It Would Feel Like This
    Jun 4 2025

    Hello Beautiful!

    Because I know you’ve been feeling off. You’re doing all the right things—you’re eating well, trying to move your body, juggling life like a champ—but still, something doesn’t feel right. You’re waking up at 3am. Your energy is gone before noon. Your jeans aren’t fitting the same. And your brain? Foggy.

    Maybe you’ve asked your doctor. Maybe you’ve Googled. Maybe you’ve just been silently wondering, “Is this just what being a woman in midlife feels like?”

    In this episode, I’m sharing something I wish I’d known earlier—the surprising truth about what’s really going on in your body during perimenopause and menopause. We’ll talk about hormones like testosterone (yep, that’s part of it too), progesterone, and estrogen... and how they affect way more than just your cycle.

    I’m not here to give you a diagnosis. I’m here to give you words for what you’re already feeling—and a first step that might change everything.

    Pull up a cozy seat. Bring a notebook. Let’s talk about what no one told us.

  • 39 | What Adult Children Really Need From Their Moms
    May 28 2025

    If you're a mom in midlife trying to navigate what it means to parent adult children—this episode is for you.

    Maybe your grown kids are pulling away. Maybe you're unsure how to help without sounding like you're trying to take control. Or maybe you're in a sweet season but want to make sure you stay close as things change.

    Wherever you are, today I’m sharing 5 powerful shifts I’ve learned (and am still learning!) about loving our adult children well in this new chapter of motherhood.

    In this episode, we’ll talk about: • Why your grown child may feel misunderstood—and how to fix that • How to support without solving (yes, it’s possible!) • Why presence matters more than perfection • How to rebuild trust after distance or conflict • A gentle reminder that God’s heart is for reconciliation

    I’ll also share a personal story from a recent road trip with my daughters that reminded me just how precious simple connection can be—even in the midst of life’s heavier moments.
