Injuries, flare-ups, and physical setbacks happen to every woman- especially in our 40s and beyond. But the real challenge isn’t the injury itself… it’s the mental spiral that can follow.

In today’s episode, Casey breaks down how to stay connected to your health goals even when you can’t train the way you want to. You’ll learn how to modify your workouts, protect your mindset, stay engaged with healthy habits, and avoid the all-or-nothing thinking that derails so many women during a setback.

If you’ve ever felt frustrated, “behind,” or worried you’re losing progress- this episode will help you reset, refocus, and keep momentum in a way that honors your body.

You’ll learn:

• How to approach injuries without panic or guilt
• What to do instead of quitting when you can’t do your full workouts
• Smart modifications to keep you moving safely
• The habits that matter most during recovery (and YES- progress can still happen!)
• How to return to workouts with confidence once your body is ready
• Why staying connected to the Inspire community matters more than ever during a setback

A setback doesn’t mean you’ve failed. It means your body is asking for a different kind of support- and you’re strong enough to give it.

Tune in, take a breath, and remember: you can come back stronger than before.

Today’s episode is one so many women over 40 will relate to - because pelvic floor issues are far more common than anyone talks about.

I’m sitting down with one of my incredible clients, Jill, to talk openly about her pelvic floor journey:
the frustrations, the fear, the awkwardness, the rehab… and ultimately, the strength and confidence she’s rebuilt along the way.

Jill shares:

When she first noticed pelvic floor symptoms and how they affected her workouts
The movements that felt off-limits before treatment
What finally pushed her to see a pelvic floor physical therapist
The surprising things she learned about her body
How she’s safely reintroduced strength training and rebuilt trust in her core
The mental side - the frustration, the fear, and the confidence that followed

We also talk about what she wishes every woman knew about pelvic floor issues, and how normal (and fixable!) they often are.

This is a real, honest conversation - not medical advice - meant to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and help women recognize they’re not alone.

Whether you’re dealing with leaking, pressure, fear around lifting, or you’re just curious about pelvic floor health, this episode will leave you feeling seen, empowered, and hopeful.

If you’ve ever thought, “Is it just me?” - this one’s for you.

Tune in and let’s dive in. 💛

In today’s episode of the Inspire Fitness Podcast, we’re talking all things Thanksgiving- a holiday that’s centered around food, family, and tradition… but doesn’t have to derail your goals.

I’m walking you through simple, realistic strategies I teach my clients every single year so you can enjoy your favorite foods without slipping into the all-or-nothing mentality (you know… the one that says “Welp, I’ll start over Monday!”).

Here’s what we dive into:

Start the day with intention - why your mindset in the morning shapes the whole day
Plan ahead - a few small decisions that make everything easier
Prioritize protein & veggies - how to stay satisfied without feeling stuffed
Be mindful while eating - truly enjoy your meal instead of rushing through it
Be choosy with treats - pick what’s worth it, skip what’s not
Set limits on alcohol - staying present instead of derailing progress
Stay hydrated - the underrated secret to better choices
Get moving - not to burn calories, but to feel good
Avoid the all-or-nothing mentality — the #1 reason women spiral on holidays

This episode is all about presence over perfection, and helping you walk into Thanksgiving feeling confident, intentional, and fully in control.

✨ Today’s Reminder: You can enjoy a holiday meal and stay aligned with your goals. It’s not either/or.

👉 Call to Action: If you love episodes like this, be sure to share it with a friend who might need a little Thanksgiving pep talk!

Today we’re breaking down the two concepts that completely transform results for women over 40: RPE and progressive overload.

If you’ve ever wondered:
“Am I lifting heavy enough…?”
“Why am I not getting stronger…?”
or “How do I know if I’m actually pushing myself?”

…this episode is your shortcut to clarity.

Inside, I explain:

What RPE (Rate of Perceived Exertion) really means
What an RPE 7, 8, or 9 should feel like
Why strength gains happen in those final challenging reps
How progressive overload works — without complicated programming
How we use RPE inside Inspire Fitness to help women lift safely and effectively at home
Why “comfortable” workouts won’t change your body
And how to push yourself without risking injury or burnout

You’ll walk away knowing exactly how to approach your lifts so you can build strength, muscle definition, energy, and confidence - no matter your age, fitness level, or equipment.

If you want better results from your workouts, this episode is a must-listen.

Today we’re talking about one of the biggest predictors of fitness success for women over 40… community.

Inspired by one of my favorite James Clear quotes - “One of the most effective things you can do to build better habits is to join a culture where your desired behavior is normal” - this episode explores why the people you surround yourself with matter just as much as the workouts you do.

Inside Inspire Fitness, hundreds of women show up for themselves every day. Different ages, different lifestyles, different responsibilities… but the same mission: to be strong, confident, and healthy. And when you plug into a community where prioritizing your fitness is the norm, consistency stops feeling so hard. You feel supported. You feel encouraged. You realize you’re not alone.

In this conversation, I’m breaking down why community accelerates your progress, why engagement matters (yes, even posting that sweaty selfie!), and why the holiday season is the worst time to go it alone.

If you’re craving accountability, motivation, and a group of women who will lift you higher- in every way I’d love to welcome you into the Holiday Bootcamp. Workouts begin Monday and the community opens Friday… and trust me, being surrounded by women who are moving with you will change everything.

Let’s talk about the power of showing up together.

“You become the strongest version of yourself when you surround yourself with people who lift you higher.” Unknown

In this episode, Casey sits down with Tina Haupert - Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner (FDN-P), Certified Nutrition Coach, and founder of Carrots ‘N’ Cake - to talk about one of the most important (and overlooked) topics for women using GLP-1 medications: how to protect your muscle, metabolism, and long-term health.

They dive into:

• Why strength training is non-negotiable when appetite is low or fat loss is rapid
• How to hit your protein goals when eating less
• The red flags that signal muscle loss instead of fat loss
• Beginner-friendly ways to start lifting safely and confidently
• How to pair medication with lifestyle habits to maintain results long after you stop using it

If you’re a woman in your 40s, 50s, or beyond - whether you’re currently using a GLP-1, considering it, or just curious - this episode will help you understand the bigger picture of strength, bone health, and sustainable success.
