Cheers to Your Success!

OVERVIEW:

In this episode, Ashley breaks down why women need to be more discerning about who they trust with their body, metabolism, hormones, and long-term health. While personal transformation stories can be inspiring, there is a big difference between sharing what worked for your own body and having the education, experience, and coaching skills to guide someone else through their own journey.

This conversation is especially important for women over 35, because your body needs more than generic advice like “eat less,” “work harder,” or “cut carbs.” Hormonal shifts, stress, sleep, recovery, dieting history, muscle mass, and metabolic health all matter.

Ashley explains the difference between information and true coaching, why real assessment is essential, what red flags to watch for online, and what women should look for before hiring a coach.

Key Takeaways:

The rise of self-proclaimed health experts on social media

Why a great body can be inspiring, but does not automatically equal expertise

The difference between sharing a personal journey and coaching others

Why women over 35 need individualized support, not blanket advice

How years of dieting, stress, hormonal shifts, and poor recovery can impact results

The difference between information and real coaching

Why assessment, customization, and biofeedback matter

The value of education, experience, testimonials, and real client results

Red flags to watch for before trusting someone’s advice online

OVERVIEW:

In this episode, Ashley breaks down what food freedom really looks like after years of dieting, restricting, tracking, and feeling guilty around food. True food freedom is not about ignoring your goals or pretending nutrition does not matter. It is about removing the guilt, shame, fear, and obsession from your relationship with food.

Ashley explains why food freedom is not the same thing as being “off plan,” lacking discipline, or eating whatever you want without awareness. Instead, it is about building enough knowledge, self-trust, and body awareness to make choices that support your metabolism, hormones, health, and real life.

This episode is especially important for women over 35 who have spent years trying to eat less, cut carbs, track perfectly, or earn their food through exercise. If you feel like you are always bouncing between restriction, guilt, overeating, and starting over, this conversation will help you see food freedom in a completely different way.

Key Takeaways:

What true food freedom actually means

Why food freedom is not the same as eating whatever you want all the time

How guilt and shame keep women stuck in the restrict-and-overeat cycle

Why tracking can be a helpful tool, but should not feel like a life sentence

The role of biofeedback, hunger, cravings, energy, sleep, digestion, and recovery

Why holidays, vacations, date nights, and higher-carb meals do not have to derail your progress

How to enjoy food without spiraling into guilt or punishment

Why one meal, one dessert, or one vacation does not erase your results

The difference between using food for freedom and using food to cope

OVERVIEW:

For years, women have been taught to chase smaller.

A smaller body. A smaller number on the scale. Smaller meals. Smaller portions. Smaller everything.

But as we move into our late 30s, 40s, 50s, and beyond, the goal cannot just be getting smaller. The goal needs to be getting stronger.

In this episode, I am talking about why muscle is truly the currency of longevity and why building and preserving muscle is one of the best investments a woman can make in her long-term health.

Muscle is not just about looking toned. It supports your metabolism, blood sugar regulation, insulin sensitivity, bone health, posture, balance, strength, independence, and resilience as you age.

This is especially important for women in midlife. Hormonal changes, stress, poor sleep, years of dieting, under-eating, and random workouts can all contribute to muscle loss over time.

Inside this episode, we cover:

Why muscle is one of your greatest assets as you age

Why women need to stop chasing smaller and start building stronger

How muscle supports metabolism and body composition

Why strength training is essential after 35

The difference between random workouts and structured training

Why lifting too light may be holding you back

Why under-eating can sabotage muscle and metabolism

How GLP-1 users can protect muscle during weight loss

One of the biggest mistakes I see women make is focusing only on the scale. But weight loss without muscle preservation is not the goal.

The goal is not just weight loss. The goal is better body composition.

That means preserving and building lean muscle while reducing excess body fat in a way that supports your hormones, metabolism, strength, and long-term health.

If there is one thing I hope you take from this episode, it is this: muscle is not vanity. Muscle is about the kind of life you want to live 10, 20, and 30 years from now.

If you are ready to stop guessing and you want a customized strategy that helps you build strength, support your metabolism, and create sustainable results after 35, apply for coaching or take the Phase Assessment Quiz linked in the show notes.

OVERVIEW:

In this episode, Ashley Fillmore and Julie DeLucca-Collins delve into the multifaceted nature of confidence, exploring its definition, the importance of self-acceptance, and the role of discomfort in personal growth. They share personal stories and insights on how to build confidence through tiny habits and consistent action, emphasizing that confidence is a journey rather than a destination. The conversation highlights the significance of mindset and the need to redefine what it means to feel good in one's own skin.

Inside this episode, Ashley and Julie discuss:

Confidence is a strategy, not a feeling

The journey towards confidence is ongoing and requires daily practice

Self-acceptance is crucial for building true confidence.

Discomfort is often a sign of growth and opportunity.

Tiny habits can lead to significant changes in behavior and mindset

Redefining what it means to feel good is essential for self-acceptance

Celebrating small wins is key to rewiring your brain for confidence

Comparison can undermine confidence; focus on your own journey

Confidence comes from showing up and taking action, even imperfectly

You are a work in progress, and that's okay.
