From Stuck to strong: Part 1
If you’ve ever thought, “What used to work for me just… doesn’t anymore,” you’re not alone.
In Video 1 of From Stuck to Strong, I walk you through why that’s happening—and why it’s not a personal failure. Spoiler alert: your body has changed, your life has shifted, and it’s time your wellness strategy did too.
Inside this short but powerful video, we’ll talk about:
Why pushing harder isn’t the answer
What’s really keeping you stuck
And the first mindset shift that unlocks a whole new path forward: You don’t need more willpower. You need a plan that works with your life.
Why your approach is not working and how to shift your strategy so you can get unstuck and become stronger - inside and out!
Hi, I’m Joan
I’m a midlife fitness & nutrition coach, mom of three, and your biggest cheerleader for feeling strong in the season you’re in right now—not the one you lived 20 years ago.
Over the last decade I’ve helped hundreds of women trade “all-or-nothing” plans for simple, science-backed habits that fit careers, caregiving, college visits, and everything else real life throws at us. I blend:
Smart strength training to protect muscle and joints
Straightforward nutrition (think lean protein + colorful plates, not dieting)
Mindset shifts that turn self-talk into self-coaching
Why? Because I have spent years coaching women who are stuck in the same spin cycle—over-scheduled, under-fueled, and frustrated that the old rules no longer worked. When we finally simplified the plan, their results (and sanity) returned, and I am excited to share the blueprint with you.
If you’re ready to feel 1 % less stuck and 100 % more confident, you’re in the right place. Let’s swap overwhelm for momentum—together.
