73: Tight Pants Might Be Good: Why Fitter Doesn’t Mean Smaller After 40
Fitter does not have to mean smaller and if your pants are getting snug while you’re strength training, that might be the best sign you’re actually doing it right. Heather Yancey delivers a blunt midlife reset on what women have been taught to celebrate, and why it’s time to stop treating clothing size like a fitness scorecard.Using a client story about building muscle, getting stronger, and protecting bone health, Heather breaks down the real reason your legs or glutes may take up more space when your training is working. This is the conversation women rarely get: the difference between shrinking and becoming capable. You’ll discover:Why tighter pants can signal muscle gain, not failureHow progressive overload changes body composition without relying on the scaleWhy glutes, quads, and other lower-body muscles matter for long-term independenceHow resistance training supports bone density, mobility, and longevityWhy muscle is metabolically useful, especially in midlifeHeather also challenges the old fitness script built around “tone,” “lean out,” and “lose the last 10 pounds,” replacing it with a more powerful question: are you smaller, or are you stronger? She reframes the goal from disappearing to building the kind of body that can carry groceries, climb stairs, hike farther, travel, lift, and keep saying yes to life.If you’re tired of measuring progress by the waistband and want a smarter, stronger standard for fitness in your 40s, 50s, 60s, and beyond, this one will hit hard. Essential listening for any woman ready to build muscle, protect her bones, and stop apologizing for taking up space.Thanks for listening whether you were folding laundry, going for a walk or whatever other multi-tasking you were getting after.

69: The Nervous System Truth Midlife Women Need with Dr. Alexandra Howson
Rest is not a luxury - it’s medicine, especially in midlife. In this episode of The Badass Reset Club, I’m joined by Dr. Alexandra Howson to unpack why women in perimenopause and menopause feel exhausted, wired, and burned out and why pushing harder is no longer the answer. Dr. Howson is the host and producer of the Write Medicine podcast, author of WriteCME Roadmap, and a Yoga for Menopause & Women’s Health specialist. She blends science and storytelling to help midlife women regulate their nervous systems, slow down, and restore energy through intentional rest. After navigating her husband’s stroke during Covid, panic attacks, and cumulative life stress, Alexandra learned firsthand that rest isn’t optional, it’s essential. In this conversation, we explore what’s actually happening in the nervous system and hormones when rest is ignored, why midlife is a biological turning point for burnout, and how micro-rest practices and mindset shifts can help women reset and thrive without stepping away from their lives. If you’re tired of white-knuckling your way through midlife and ready for a smarter, more sustainable reset, this episode is for you.

68: The One Thing You Must Do Before You Set Goals for 2026
As the year comes to a close, many women feel a quiet frustration: I know what to do… so why doesn’t it feel like it’s working yet? In this episode of The Badass Reset Club, Heather invites you to slow down before rushing into the next plan or goal. Instead of focusing on what didn’t change, this conversation walks you through a meaningful year-end reflection- physically, mentally, and spiritually. You’ll explore why body composition, energy, and muscle changes often take longer in midlife than we expect, how mental resilience and stress responses shape consistency, and why reconnecting with purpose and meaning is a missing piece of sustainable health. This is not about fixing yourself for the new year. It’s about recognizing the progress you’ve already made, naming the wins you may have overlooked, and carrying clarity, not pressure into 2026. Grab a notebook, take a breath, and reflect alongside this episode as you reset with intention.

67: Stress vs. Trauma in Midlife with Dr. Aimie Apigian
So many midlife women describe themselves as stressed, but what if what we’re calling “stress” is actually something deeper happening inside the body? In this powerful conversation, Heather sits down with Dr. Aimie Apigian, physician, speaker, and author of The Biology of Trauma, to unpack the difference between everyday stress and stored trauma that shows up as overwhelm, exhaustion, irritability, or feeling “stuck.” Together, they explore why midlife is often the moment unresolved patterns surface, how the nervous system drives our physical and emotional responses, and why pushing harder, at work, at home, or even in the gym, can actually reinforce a survival state. Dr. Aimie shares how to know the difference of recognizing tools for healing rather than triggers for dysregulation, and she offers the first steps to reset your system, build true resilience, and reconnect with the energy and clarity you’ve been missing. If you’ve been living in go-mode for so long it feels normal, this episode will help you understand your body, reclaim your power, and finally begin your reset.
