Women Over 40 – Do You Rock? Or do
you just feel like one?

Do you have the energy, passion and
confidence you need to run your business AND enjoy your life?  Or is your business running you (into the ground!)
Rhinestone or diamond – which one are you?

Is it possible to be healthy, happy and *hot* at
midlife? Is it realistic to aspire to be fabulous &
feminine, energetic and strong while at the same
time creating balance, passion & authenticity in
your business and your life????

Absolutely!

But NOT if you view mid life as a prison sentence! If you’re overwhelmed, fatigued and frustrated with trying to manage a business and still have enough energy left over to have a life too – you also know that things heat up (hot flashes among them!) in mid life – but that can be a great thing if you’re ready for it.  But if you aren’t in shape physically, emotionally and spiritually – you not only won’t enjoy what you’re doing – sooner or later you won’t be doing it!       

The good news you don’t need to be perfect………..just be powerful.

The biggest obstacle? YOU vs. YOU.

Hello and welcome!

I’m Robin Stephens, Your Mid Life Fitness Coach and, and I’d like to ask you a question:

Are you a rhinestone or a diamond?  They both sparkle but only one

is authentic, strong, and precious.

I’ve talked to hundreds of women professionals and entrepreneurs – many of whom have a resigned if not outright negative attitude toward their “second act” of life.  I hear a lot of talk about aging being just  something that happens to us (like death and taxes I guess!) and all they can do is make the best of it. Whaaat?? 

That’s a victim mentality. It’s a “program” that stops you from playing bigger and living bigger and you have to STOP THINKING THAT WAY!

But you also have to stop doing a lot of other things too – like STOP replaying the past, pretending, denying and discounting! Seriously, where is that really going to get you?

I’m telling you that you may not see it right now from where you’re sitting but you CAN DEFINITELY have the healthy, fit body, radiant energy and purpose driven life you’ve imagined! And if you don’t stop RIGHT NOW and make yourself the FOCAL POINT of your life – both your business and your personal life are in real danger.  I know because I’ve done it!  I’ve been a solo business owner for over 12 years – most of which I spent putting my health and happiness on the back burner for the sake of the business –  just like my parents raised me to do, bless their hearts! 

And I began to wonder how I was going to continue doing what I loved and still have the energy to have some time for me (read: FUN??) at the end of the day.  I knew there were a lot of us out there wondering the same thing – I worked with them as a professional organizer and the question was always the same – “WHAT ABOUT ME??”  

Mid Life is NOT the END of Life! Be open to discover what’s next!

When I was in my 20’s I thought I’d super young forever. Everything related to health was manana – no worries, right? The arrogance of youth! I threw away my health like used tissues and didn’t revere the magnificent temple I was given – my body. And in my late 40’s (I was actually lucky I got that far!) I – who had NEVER had a health problem of any kind, aside from the usual colds and flu – had my body and hormones totally revolt in the worst uprising since the Revolutionary War! And right in the middle of all of it I was trying to run my new business, get divorced, be a single mom and somewhere in there, like Humpty Dumpty, try to “put Robin back together again.”

Long story short, after a huge pity party, depression, anger – and finally acceptance – I got busy.  I decided to make my “mess” my “message” and proclaim it to sassy, seasoned professional women like you who want radiant good health, energy, and their GROOVE BACK so you can run your business and your life with passion and real purpose.  And the secret isn’t dieting, working out 4 hours a day or spending precious time counting, weighing or measuring.  It’s simply a matter of YOU vs. YOU.

Have you been “suffering in silence” – tolerating how you look and feel – but
you’re finally getting to the point where you’ve just had enough?

You’re not alone – here are some of their stories. . .

“I’m 51 and have always been active and felt energetic. I had lots of energy. Now I work 40 to 45 hours a week. I try to get 8 hours of sleep, but I am always tired. I have gained about 10 pounds that I cannot get off. I’ve lost my motivation and don’t know how to get it back. What can I do to get on track?”

“I am 55 and my life is literally a mess. I can’t find anything, because my house is so disorganized, have no time to myself because I work 2 jobs and can’t find time to exercise. I’m overweight and tired.”

“The thing with me is that I’m not even that busy. I get overwhelmed and end up lying on the couch watching TV, ignoring the mess around me. I have a hard time getting rid of things and I know it’s taking a toll on my health. I have no motivation. Help!”

Can you feel it? I can! Low energy, fatigue, joylessness – and worst of all – resignation!

They deserve better – and so do you!

Every woman’s health, well-being and success has a profound and
immediate impact on her family, community and the world at large.

And as sassy, seasoned women we have the ability to make an
impact like a killer karate chop – because our wisdom and
experience (combined with health, passion and energy) make us
unstoppable!

Take a moment to think about it. . .

Close your eyes and visualize yourself looking and feeling fit, energetic and strong. What picture comes to your mind? Was it you, arms raised in triumph as you crossed the marathon finish line?

Or maybe you on the beach showing off those amazing abs in your teeny bikini – wildly confident and ready for anything?

And then what happened? Well, maybe life happened while you were making other plans and now…

• You’re heavier in body and spirit, tired and drained.
• You can’t sleep or all you want to do is sleep.
• Your home or office clutter is weighing you down physically and mentally.
• Your kitchen serves every purpose but creating healthy meals.
• Your fitness program consists of walking to and from the mailbox.
• Your idea of balance is being able to shift car gears, talk on the phone and eat fast food at the same time.
• You preach wellness but can’t seem to find the time to practice it.
• Your cholesterol, weight, and blood pressure are on the rise.
• You’re feeling like the “old wolf” – relegated to the back of the pack!

Passionate, live-on-purpose women entrepreneurs realize that midlife is an opportunity to do it just the way WE  want it to be (because we rock like we never have before!) and each one of us has a powerful leading role in ourown SECOND ACT!

When I conceived the idea for MidLifeFitchicks.com, I was recovering from the breakup of a 24 year marriage. I was 44 years old, a single mom, an entrepreneur with NO business experience and on top of everything I’d just started peri-menopause. Talk about changes!! I was constantly exhausted and lethargic. I didn’t even feel like ME anymore, but I couldn’t figure out what had happened. I went to doctors, read books, took classes and finally got the V-8 slap on the forehead – I was me – but I wasn’t me anymore, and it was up to ME to reclaim me! My business was draining me and I failed to realize for a long time that the very thing I loved doing was sucking the life out of me.   It took me 6 years to create the vision of an online women’s health coaching resource – but it’s finally my most cherished reality! 

I wanted to reach out to other women in my age group and let them know that our “second act” has the potential to be an absolute MASTERPIECE! Youth is great, but it ain’t over till it’s over – and you’re totally WRONG if you think your best body, life, and spirit got thrown out with the over 40 party favors. When you’re living your vision of a healthy lifestyle you’re filled with energy and a unique creative spark. You’re operating at peak performance – brilliantly connected from the inside out – and you inspire others with your passion and confidence.

But your success depends on how you handle YOU. You have to make the time and do the work. My personal trainer used to say, “If you’ve got 5 minutes a day, I’ll find a way for you to get the most out of those 5 minutes. But one thing I can’t do for you is get you the 5 minutes. You have to do that yourself.”

That’s why I asked you the question at the beginning of this page – Are you a rhinestone or a diamond?  The rhinestone sparkles just like the diamond – but it’s all on the outside.  One good whack and it crushes into dust.  A diamond on the other hand, starts like as  a humble piece of coal – but time and intense pressure transforms it into a strong, beautiful, precious jewel.  Hmmmm. . .

So I’ll ask you – can you make the time for small but consistent baby steps that over time will transform you into the diamond you know you area?  Are you ready to create REAL change and get results that will put you back on top of your game? Do you want a powerful leading role in your “second act” – energy, confidence, and vibrant good health for you and your business?   That’s where I can help you as your personal Coach!

But you have to do something first. Your job is to

decide you’re important enough to put yourself first. Make yourself the FOCAL POINT. Interior designers know that to create a warm and inviting living space you begin with a focal point. It could be a beautiful piece of art, a dramatic view or a strategically placed piece of furniture. Once you’ve got the focal point everything else falls gracefully into place.

And that’s when you discover what being a midlifefitchick really means. . .

• You feel and look beautiful. You’re clear, focused, energetic and confident.
• You speak with your own voice and with a sense of power.
• You’re sexy in the way you define it.
• You maintain a fit body according to YOUR unique “factory settings” with exercise and clean eating.
• Your home environment is ordered and peaceful – and supports your body-mind health and that of your family.
• Your spirit experiences a sense of expanded, positive connection to the world around you.
• You’re delivering the message you came here to deliver.

I guess my point is that regardless of how well or hard we age, none of us escape it. It’s happening to ALL of us as we speak – so how are you going to choose to react? I used to rail at the passing years until I realized that I had already lived more of my life than I had left! I am no longer willing to waste one precious moment – and neither should you! It’s good to look as good as you can – and diet, exercise and managing stress are important. But more important is gaining strength and power from our age and our experiences.

You’ll do battle with YOU vs. YOU – when old habits and negative attitudes surface. And they will. And sometimes, as a former boss of mine used to say, “you get the big ol’ bear and sometimes the big ol’ bear gets you.” But it’s not about perfection, it’s about PERSISTENCE. And that’s what puts you closer to that joyful, confident, energetic woman you know you are.

The truth is, when you get your MIND in shape, your body and your environment will follow – not the other way around.

And when it comes to getting your body and mind in shape – that’s where I can help! or you can learn from my do-it-yourself health coaching products. I guarantee you – one hour of talking to me – and you’ll begin to see yourself differently! You’ll begin to see what’s possible — and the BEST is possible! I’ve studied and continue to study the latest information and research on nutrition, exercise, life organization techniques and coaching models that work best for us – because I want you to be the powerful, influential “zoomer” woman you are! Let’s face it; we’re still the largest demographic group! Those Gen-Xers and the video generation will be looking to US for inspiration – so let’s show them how it’s done!

I have a motivational ability that will “go long and deep” and help you discover (even if YOU can’t see it yet) what YOU personally need to radically change your body, your mind, and your environment. We then develop a personal coaching model that fits you – your schedule, personality and lifestyle – with products and services that fit your budget.

You DESERVE it – you CAN do it – and it IS possible. . .

• But you first have to REALLY WANT it. You won’t find the desire or motivation on an infomercial or at the mall. You will find it within yourself. You have to decide!
• Next you have to BELIEVE it’s actually possible. (Your mindset is critical! YOU DO DESERVE IT – health, happiness and loving yourself – just as you are!!).
• Finally you bring your vision into reality through ACTION – one step a time. Baby steps taken consistently yield huge results.
