Podcast Episode 394: Not Your Average Workout: The FACE Method Every Midlife Mom Needs with Dr. Vonda Wright
Ever stand up after a Netflix binge and feel like your knees aged ten years during the last episode? Or maybe your energy’s tanked, your jeans fit weird, and workouts that used to work suddenly don’t? Midlife is full of surprises, and let’s be honest—most of them aren’t fun. But what if you’re not doing anything wrong… you’re just following the wrong rules for this stage of life?
In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Vonda Wright, a double board-certified orthopedic surgeon, longevity expert, author of the new book, Unbreakable, and mom of six who gets what midlife feels like—because she’s lived it. She’s trained pro athletes, appeared on The Today Show and Mel Robbins Podcast, and now she’s here to share something that every mom in her 40s and 50s needs to hear.
Dr. Wright walks us through her powerful FACE method for midlife moms—a realistic, science-backed approach to movement, energy, and long-term strength. This isn’t another hardcore gym program or trendy fitness hack. It’s a total mindset shift that fits into real life and helps you take back control of your body.
If you’re starting to feel like “this is just how aging works,” or struggling with perimenopause or menopause, hit play on this episode ASAP. Because the FACE method for midlife moms might just be the missing piece you’ve been looking for—and once you hear it, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it.
In this episode of the No Guilt Mom podcast you’ll learn:
- Why aging doesn’t have to mean losing energy, strength, or independence
- The real reason your old workouts aren’t working anymore (and what to do instead)
- What the FACE method for midlife moms is—and how it changes everything
- How to start building a body that supports you now and decades from now
