Sadie and I got together to chat about our upcoming Self Love Reset at The Hive on November 13, and honestly, we could have talked and laughed for hours…podcast anyone?!

There was a little planning, a lot of laughter, some beautiful conversation, and a whole lot of filling our own cups along the way.

And that’s really what this evening is all about. Creating space to slow down, reconnect with yourself, soften some of the judgement we carry about our bodies, and remember that caring for yourself is about so much more than what you see in the mirror.

We’re putting together an evening filled with gentle movement, reflection, connection, a little silliness, and some meaningful moments to help you reconnect with YOU.

Because you spend so much of your life showing up for everyone else. When was the last time you gave yourself permission to simply show up for yourself?

Join us Friday, November 13, at The Hive for our Self Love Reset. You don’t need to have it all figured out, love every inch of yourself, or arrive feeling particularly zen. Just come as you are.

We’ll take care of the rest.

Early bird pricing is available until October 25! Send me a message to reserve your spot or learn more.

We can’t wait to share this evening with you.

Apparently I’ve reached the age where I can no longer just walk into the gym ( or yoga studio!) and start exercising like I did in my 20’s.

Warm-up? Necessary.
Mobility? Suddenly important.
Recovery? Not optional.
And somehow my body has developed a very strong opinion about all of this.

But honestly, I don’t hate it.

Taking a few minutes to prepare your body, move through a bigger range of motion and actually pay attention to how you feel is part of getting stronger for the long game.

Your 40s aren’t the beginning of your body falling apart.

They’re a pretty good time to start taking care of the body you plan to have for the next 40+ years.

What if eating for healthy aging didn’t have to mean following a complicated diet, cutting out everything you enjoy, or trying to hit some perfect set of numbers?

It doesn’t.

Next Tuesday, October 27 at 1:00 pm, I’m hosting Nutrition Foundations for Healthy Aging at The Hive.

We’ll talk about the nutrition foundations that become increasingly important as we get older, including:

• Why protein matters for maintaining muscle and strength
• How much protein you actually need and practical ways to get it
• Fibre, fruits and vegetables, and why they matter beyond “eat your greens”
• Building a balanced, satisfying plate
• Carbohydrates and fats without the fear-mongering
• Hydration and the often-overlooked basics
• Simple ways to improve your nutrition without completely overhauling your life

Most importantly, this isn’t about eating perfectly.

It’s about understanding the basics well enough to make better decisions most of the time, in the context of your actual life.

Because healthy aging isn’t built from one superfood, one supplement, or one perfect day of eating.

It’s built from the things we do consistently over years.

You’ll leave with practical information, simple strategies and a workbook you can actually use at home.

Anterior Pelvic Tilt: The Posture Problem You Might Not Know You Have
If your lower back feels tight, your stomach seems to stick out, or your glutes never seem to “turn on during training, anterior pelvic tilt could be part of the picture.
Anterior pelvic tilt occurs when the front of the pelvis rotates downward and the back rotates upward, creating an exaggerated arch in the lower back.
Why does it matter?
• It can place extra stress on the lower back
• It may reduce glute engagement during exercises like squats, deadlifts, and lunges
• It can contribute to hip tightness and movement restrictions
• It may make it harder to maintain proper lifting mechanics
The good news? For many people, it can be improved with consistent practice.
Try:
V Strengthening your glutes and core v Stretching tight hip flexors
V Learning to brace your core properly v Practising neutral spine positioning during lifts v Paying attention to posture throughout the day
Remember: posture exists on a spectrum. Anterior pelvic tilt isn’t necessarily an injury or something that needs to be “fixed” in everyone. The goal is better movement, less discomfort, and improved performance.
Have you ever been told you have anterior pelvic tilt?
