You know that feeling—you want to start fresh with your health, maybe try a new workout or finally commit to better nutrition, but something stops you. That nagging thought: What if I fail? We're tackling exactly that in Episode 233: Overcoming Fear of Failure in Midlife. Fear of failure feels bigger after 50 because you’ve tried before, and maybe it didn’t stick. Maybe past diets left you feeling like a failure, or life got in the way of your best intentions. But what if failure wasn’t proof you can’t do this—what if it was just part of learning? Midlife brings enough change as it is. Your energy fluctuates, your body feels different, and let’s be real—your schedule is packed. The idea of starting over again can feel exhausting. But the truth? You don’t need a total life overhaul. Breaking past fitness failures after 50 and figuring out how to make fitness and nutrition work after 50 starts with small, sustainable steps. So many midlife women tell me they feel stuck because they’ve “failed” before. But failure isn’t final—it’s feedback. I’ve been there, too. When I created Pilates with Resist-A-Ball, I had moments of doubt that almost stopped me from moving forward. In this episode, I’m sharing that story and showing you exactly how to overcome fear of failure in midlife with my SPARK framework—a simple way to shift your mindset, take action, and build momentum without feeling overwhelmed. You don’t have to get it perfect, and you don’t have to do it all at once. Small wins build confidence and energy, like starting with two short workouts a week or focusing on non-scale victories. You are not too old, and it is not too late. The only way to fail is to stop trying. Fear is normal, but it doesn’t have to keep you stuck.
