Description
Midlife Strong is the podcast for women in midlife who want to feel strong, energized and confident in a body and life that are changing.
Hosted by personal trainer and certified wellbeing coach Mel Stephens, this show is a space for honest conversations and information about the realities of life in perimenopause and menopause, like changing hormones, shifting energy, stress, sleep, body changes and how new building habits like strength training and taking a break from alcohol can support women in this stage of life.
Because midlife isn’t a problem to solve — it’s a chapter to build.
