76. Women Over 40: Why It’s OK to Grieve Your Younger Body and How to Move Forward to Honor Your Midlife Body
Welcome to Episode 76 of the Emotional Eats Podcast!
Kim is getting real about the topic of grieving your younger body and the emotional toll of body changes during midlife.
As a woman in your 40s, 50s, and beyond, you struggle with body image issues and long for the body you once had. Kim shares her personal experience of looking back at her own body in her 30s and early 40s, feeling strong and fit, yet struggling with changes that came during perimenopause and beyond.
im emphasizes that it's natural to feel sadness or regret when our bodies change, whether it's due to aging, childbirth, or other life events. She discusses how societal pressures and the unrealistic standards promoted by social media, advertising, and culture can make women feel like they should always look like they did in their youth. This pressure leads to feelings of invisibility and insecurity as women navigate the physical and emotional challenges of aging.
Throughout the episode, Kim shares insights from her listeners and clients who have opened up about their struggles with body image. Many express longing for their younger selves and regret over not taking better care of their bodies when they were younger. Others note the frustration of dealing with physical changes like weight gain, cellulite, and crepey skin. Kim compassionately validates these feelings, explaining that it’s normal to experience grief around our changing bodies.
She offers helpful strategies to shift the focus away from weight and appearance, encouraging women to celebrate what their bodies can do today.
Kim advocates for practicing gratitude, embracing self-compassion, and challenging negative thoughts. She also highlights the importance of finding joy in movement—whether it’s walking, resistance training, or dancing—and avoiding punishing exercise or restrictive dieting.
Tune in to this thoughtful episode for actionable tips on how to grieve your younger body in a healthy way, reframe negative body image, and embrace the strength and beauty that come with midlife.

“You have a unique and special way.”
The most significant thing that changed in my work with you was that my all consuming, soul-killing obsession with food was relieved through gentle healing and integration. I knew in my heart that you really cared about me and had my best interests at heart which helped me to re-connect with my own ability to love and support myself. When that part felt back in balance I think the food piece also re-balanced itself. Another incredible gift you offer is a super well resourced tool box! There was also plenty of deep diving into core wounding and reviewing old stories, all of which you skillfully guided me though and helped me to integrate in order to heal.
Thank you so much for everything.

“It seems so simple now!”
Kim taught me to listen to my body. I now can slow down and find out what I really need…which is not always food. I also learned it doesn’t have to be all or nothing. I struggled with dieting and then overeating. I have found a happy place where I can just be. She also taught me so much about food, reading labels and how good real food can be. Thank you.

“I felt like I could tell her anything and she would not judge me.”
My reason for hiring Kim is different as I already knew how to eat healthy and was already in great shape. I wanted to learn more about digestion and overall gut health which is super important for all aspects of life. She is amazing! Very easy to talk too and she made me feel very comfortable and I felt like I could tell her anything and she would not judge me. She is very nice and definitely very knowledgeable! She was able to help me in every way I needed and then some! Anyone who needs any form of help that she offers because she is top notch and well worth the money and time!Could not be happier with the decision I made to hire her as my coach!

“Kim is much more than a health coach. She is a tireless champion of holistic healing for those eager to initiate lasting transformation of their lives.”
I feel an enthusiasm for embracing routines and habits that encompass not only my body, but spirit and mind. Kim is a beautiful, genuine person who is intuitive and kind.
Her support and positive perspective always turn around my attitude and help me see the favorable aspect to decisions I’ve made in a non-judgemental way.
Access to this type of reassurance is perpetual and brings peace of mind. Kim is much more than a health coach. She is a tireless champion of holistic healing for those eager to initiate lasting transformation of their lives. Kim has been instrumental in bringing me home to my truest self.
