The Message In The Mess!
Mission Statement
The Message in the Mess is my heart’s work—born from a deep belief that even in life’s hardest, most chaotic moments, there is something sacred to be found. My mission is to help others uncover the beauty, truth, and growth that often hide within the mess. Through honest conversations, personal stories, and compassionate insight, I aim to create a space where healing begins, humor is welcome, and vulnerability is celebrated. I believe every mess carries a message—and it’s my purpose and passion to help bring those messages to light. This podcast is not just something I do—it’s a part of who I am.
The Message In The Mess!
Choosing you in your 50's
In this episode of The Message in the Mess, Heather gets raw, real, and a little hilarious about what it truly looks like to try and lose weight in your 50s. Spoiler: it’s not like your 20s… or your 30s… or honestly anything your metabolism ever tried to prepare you for.
Heather opens up about walking back into the gym after years away — how the hardest part wasn’t the workout, but the courage it took to walk through the door. She talks about battling hormones, a slower metabolism, cravings that negotiate like seasoned lawyers, and the universal “Where did that come from?” moment in front of the mirror.
But this episode isn’t about chasing “skinny.”
It’s about chasing healthy.
It’s about choosing YOU… even when it’s hard.
Even when giving up feels easier.
Even when the scale seems to be gaslighting you.
Heather shares why you don’t have to give up ice cream, the occasional cocktail, or the soul-comforting macaroni and cheese. Instead, she talks about finding balance — real balance — not punishment disguised as discipline.
With compassion, humor, and honesty, she reminds listeners that starting again in your 50s is not a failure. It’s courage. It’s strength. It’s a love letter to your future self.
If you’ve ever felt frustrated, defeated, or like your body suddenly switched to “low power mode,” this episode will make you feel seen, supported, and inspired to keep going — one brave step at a time.
