Join myself host, Tara Preston & guest Colin Jackson for this weeks episode of Radiant Midlife where we chat about creating a foundation of sustainable and holistic training habits for midlife women.
Your body is changing, your schedule is packed, and the internet won’t stop shouting “fix your menopause belly.”
On this episode we take a moment to just breathe, turn down the noise, and build real strength that actually supports your midlife life. I’m joined by Coach Colin Jackson—a women’s fitness specialist and registered massage therapist—who has spent over a decade helping women 35+ lift heavier, sprint smarter, and feel genuinely at home in their bodies.
The conversation also names the cultural headwinds: the constant pressure for smallness and quick fixes. Instead of chasing shrinking goals, we choose power. You’ll hear how strength work can ease joint aches as the body regains stability, why plant-forward meals, fiber, sleep, and walking amplify results, and how to move from foundation to optimization using tempo, rep schemes, and rest intervals that target specific adaptations without losing the basics.
We dig into what intensity really means and why heavy compound lifts in the six to ten rep range outperform endless circuits for muscle, joint stability, and bone density.
If you’re ready to trade fatigue for focus and comparison for capability, this is your roadmap. Take a listen, & learn to celebrate your wins. Whether it's two to three weekly strength sessions, a short sprint finisher, or a consistent bedtime—and watch your capacity for strength & vitality in midlife grow.
