SNDY - EP 24: Don't Quit Yet: What Nobody Tells You After the Weight-loss · She's Not Done Yet

• 0:00
  SPEAKER_00: Nobody warned me about this part.
• 0:02
  SPEAKER_00: Everybody told me about the weight loss, the smaller clothes.
• 0:05
  SPEAKER_00: Everybody told me about the compliments that were come, all the positive energy.
• 0:10
  SPEAKER_00: The girl, what are you doing?
• 0:11
  SPEAKER_00: You look great.
• 0:12
  SPEAKER_00: You need to stop.
• 0:13
  SPEAKER_00: But nobody told me that when the weight comes off, something else starts coming up.
• 0:19
  SPEAKER_00: And I'm not talking about loose skin.
• 0:21
  SPEAKER_00: Although we can have a conversation about that too, because Lord knows my jawline and I have a tussle and I want to win.
• 0:28
  SPEAKER_00: But I'm talking about the thing underneath.
• 0:31
  SPEAKER_00: I'm talking about the restlessness, the questions that don't have a Google answer.
• 0:37
  SPEAKER_00: You can't get an answer on Chat GBT for this.
• 0:40
  SPEAKER_00: But the feeling that you're becoming someone new and your old life doesn't quite fit anymore.
• 0:47
  SPEAKER_00: Your body is changing, and because your body is changing, your appetite is changing.
• 0:52
  SPEAKER_00: And I'm not talking about for food.
• 0:54
  SPEAKER_00: I'm talking about what you're hungry for now, what you're hungry for in life.
• 1:00
  SPEAKER_00: And that's what this episode is all about.
• 1:19
  SPEAKER_00: Welcome back to She's Not Done Yet, the podcast for women over 40, over pretending, and ready to make the rest of their life the best of your life.
• 1:27
  SPEAKER_00: I'm your host, Teresa, and today we're going to talk about the part of transformation that nobody prepares you for and the thing I built to help you navigate it.
• 1:37
  SPEAKER_00: Let's get into it.
• 1:39
  SPEAKER_00: Let me be honest with you.
• 1:40
  SPEAKER_00: I'm about a year into my GLP 1 journey, a full year.
• 1:45
  SPEAKER_00: And this first quarter, working with fitness pastor coach George Moore on temple maintenance, getting the workouts in, getting my nutrition up, getting my body to a place where it's finally cooperating with me instead of fighting against me.
• 1:57
  SPEAKER_00: It's been real.
• 1:59
  SPEAKER_00: And it's been disciplined.
• 2:01
  SPEAKER_00: And for that, I am truly grateful.
• 2:03
  SPEAKER_00: I'm so grateful for the milestones that I have made.
• 2:06
  SPEAKER_00: But can I tell you the part that no one says out loud?
• 2:10
  SPEAKER_00: When your body starts changing, your mind starts wandering.
• 2:14
  SPEAKER_00: And I don't mean wondering in a bad way, but I mean wondering like towards questions you didn't have the energy to even ask before.
• 2:23
  SPEAKER_00: Most times, while you're navigating, I guess, surviving menopause or getting through menopause, you don't have space for vision.
• 2:32
  SPEAKER_00: You don't have space for what you plan to do with your life for your purpose.
• 2:38
  SPEAKER_00: When you're exhausted like every afternoon, you don't have the bandwidth even for dreams.
• 2:44
  SPEAKER_00: When your body was the loudest thing that was, I guess you could even hear or even pay attention to, hot flashes, inflammation, weight that wouldn't even move, that belly that never wanted to go away, sleep that wouldn't come, even when you tried.
• 3:00
  SPEAKER_00: Every ounce of your mental energy went to managing the chaos of midlife.
• 3:09
  SPEAKER_00: But then something shifts.
• 3:11
  SPEAKER_00: You get a little energy back.
• 3:13
  SPEAKER_00: You start losing weight and you get a little clarity.
• 3:17
  SPEAKER_00: You actually get a little, and I'm gonna use this word intentionally, you get a little capacity.
• 3:24
  SPEAKER_00: And when capacity shows up, so does desire.
• 3:28
  SPEAKER_00: That's the restlessness.
• 3:29
  SPEAKER_00: It's not just anxiety, it's not discomfort, it's not discontent.
• 3:36
  SPEAKER_00: It's a midlife, and I don't like to say crisis, but a midlife challenge.
• 3:41
  SPEAKER_00: And it's your purpose waking up because your body finally gave it room to breathe.
• 3:47
  SPEAKER_00: And nobody tells you, not that part, nobody tells you that temple maintenance doesn't just change your health, it changes your hunger.
• 3:55
  SPEAKER_00: And the hunger that showed up is hunger for life.
• 3:59
  SPEAKER_00: Here's what I've been watching happen.
• 4:01
  SPEAKER_00: Not just in me, but in so many women that I've talked to.
• 4:05
  SPEAKER_00: The body changes and suddenly the world starts treating you differently.
• 4:09
  SPEAKER_00: People notice, like you're in the room and people turn their head, they look, they see you.
• 4:15
  SPEAKER_00: People compliment, people ask you questions, and that feels good for a minute, but then something else happens.
• 4:23
  SPEAKER_00: You start noticing things too.
• 4:26
  SPEAKER_00: You notice things that you've been tolerating.
• 4:29
  SPEAKER_00: Don't want to do that again.
• 4:31
  SPEAKER_00: You notice what you've been settling for.
• 4:34
  SPEAKER_00: You finally start paying attention, and sometimes you look up and the job that drains you, that routine that numbs you, you start thinking, what is it that I need to do about this?
• 4:47
  SPEAKER_00: And you notice that you've been so busy surviving that you forgot to ask yourself, what do you actually want?
• 4:55
  SPEAKER_00: And now you have the energy to want again.
• 4:58
  SPEAKER_00: And that is beautiful and terrifying all at the same time.
• 5:02
  SPEAKER_00: Because here's the part we don't like to talk about.
• 5:05
  SPEAKER_00: Getting healthy doesn't just give you a new body, it gives you a new set of problems.
• 5:10
  SPEAKER_00: The old problems were about survival, the new ones have to do with your purpose.
• 5:16
  SPEAKER_00: The old problems were, how do I get through this day?
• 5:18
  SPEAKER_00: Like, how do I make it?
• 5:20
  SPEAKER_00: But the new problems, you're really facing like, what do I want to do with the rest of my life?
• 5:25
  SPEAKER_00: And that shift, that is the moment most women get stuck in.
• 5:30
  SPEAKER_00: Because nobody builds a bridge between, I'm finally feeling better, and now what do I do with that?
• 5:38
  SPEAKER_00: I want to talk directly to you and that feeling, that feeling that something is stirring.
• 5:44
  SPEAKER_00: You might not call it entrepreneurship yet.
• 5:46
  SPEAKER_00: You might be calling it restlessness or boredom or frustration, or that there has to be more to life than this.
• 5:53
  SPEAKER_00: That feeling that hits you in the shower or on your commute to work or at 11 p.m.
• 5:58
  SPEAKER_00: when the whole house is quiet and your thoughts get loud, and I'll be vulnerable with you.
• 6:04
  SPEAKER_00: I know that feeling.
• 6:05
  SPEAKER_00: I know it intimately because I've been that woman.
• 6:09
  SPEAKER_00: The woman Googling LLC formations in the middle of the night, the one that has the notes app full of business ideas that never get formed.
• 6:20
  SPEAKER_00: The ones you never tell anybody about.
• 6:22
  SPEAKER_00: The one watching other women launch things and win, and thinking, I could do that.
• 6:27
  SPEAKER_00: Like I should have done that.
• 6:29
  SPEAKER_00: Or if you ever had an idea and you watch somebody else do it, and it's like, I thought about that before.
• 6:33
  SPEAKER_00: Like that could have been me.
• 6:36
  SPEAKER_00: Or like the one who mentally writes resignation letters that she'll never send.
• 6:41
  SPEAKER_00: Now she'll write it out, but then something kicks in and it's like, wait a minute, I can't quit my job.
• 6:47
  SPEAKER_00: I have a mortgage, I have bills.
• 6:50
  SPEAKER_00: I know her.
• 6:51
  SPEAKER_00: I've been her.
• 6:53
  SPEAKER_00: And here's what I want to say to her, to you.
• 6:56
  SPEAKER_00: That stirring, it's not midlife crisis.
• 6:59
  SPEAKER_00: But can I tell you what it actually is?
• 7:02
  SPEAKER_00: It's what happens when a woman gets her temple back in order and her purpose finally has a vehicle strong enough to carry it.
• 7:12
  SPEAKER_00: This is the part they leave out of the health journey conversation.
• 7:16
  SPEAKER_00: They tell you that GLP1 will help you with the weight.
• 7:18
  SPEAKER_00: They tell you that exercise will build your strength, your endurance, and the nutrition that you finally start taking seriously, it'll stabilize your hormones.
• 7:29
  SPEAKER_00: But nobody tells you that when your body heals, the ambition wakes up.
• 7:34
  SPEAKER_00: Nobody tells you that uh when the brain fog clears, you finally have clarity.
• 7:40
  SPEAKER_00: Your vision sharpens.
• 7:42
  SPEAKER_00: The reality is when you stop spending all of your energy fighting your body, you suddenly have energy to build something.
• 7:51
  SPEAKER_00: And the thing you want to build, it's been there the whole time.
• 7:55
  SPEAKER_00: It was just buried underneath exhaustion.
• 7:59
  SPEAKER_00: Menopause isn't killing your dream, although it may feel like it put it in a medically induced coma, but now it's waking up.
• 8:09
  SPEAKER_00: And you don't know whether to celebrate or panic.
• 8:13
  SPEAKER_00: So let me help you do both responsibly.
• 8:16
  SPEAKER_00: Here's where I want to push you a little.
• 8:18
  SPEAKER_00: Because I love you enough not just to cheer for you.
• 8:22
  SPEAKER_00: The moment you're in right now, where you feel the stirring, where you feel the sense of calling, this is actually the most dangerous moment to be in.
• 8:30
  SPEAKER_00: Not because the desire is wrong, but because the desire without strategy is expensive.
• 8:37
  SPEAKER_00: And I have watched brilliant women, very talented, smart, gifted, capable, faith-filled women take the feeling of momentum and confuse it with readiness.
• 8:48
  SPEAKER_00: They quit the job before they build the skill.
• 8:52
  SPEAKER_00: They launch the business before they understand the sacrifice.
• 8:57
  SPEAKER_00: And they chased the dream before they dealt with the infrastructure.
• 9:01
  SPEAKER_00: And then they found themselves six months later, not living the dream, but surviving the nightmare of an underfunded, unplanned, and unsupported leap.
• 9:11
  SPEAKER_00: And the worst part, they blame themselves.
• 9:14
  SPEAKER_00: They say, Oh, I guess I wasn't cut out for it.
• 9:17
  SPEAKER_00: Or maybe I didn't hear God.
• 9:18
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe I heard him and it was wrong.
• 9:20
  SPEAKER_00: Or they doubt themselves and say, I should have stayed where I was.
• 9:25
  SPEAKER_00: But the truth is, they weren't wrong about the calling, but they were wrong about the timing and the preparation.
• 9:32
  SPEAKER_00: I'll say it like this: most people don't fail because they lacked talent.
• 9:37
  SPEAKER_00: They fail because they launched from the wrong foundation.
• 9:41
  SPEAKER_00: And if temple maintenance taught us anything this quarter, it's that the foundation matters.
• 9:47
  SPEAKER_00: You wouldn't start a fitness plan without understanding your body first.
• 9:51
  SPEAKER_00: Well, you shouldn't, at least.
• 9:54
  SPEAKER_00: And you shouldn't take a medication without knowing exactly how it works.
• 9:58
  SPEAKER_00: That's why they always tell you to seek a medical professional.
• 10:01
  SPEAKER_00: You should know, you should be able to plan what's coming.
• 10:05
  SPEAKER_00: So why would you leave your nine to five job without a strategy?
• 10:08
  SPEAKER_00: And that question, that exact question, is why I wrote a book.
• 10:13
  SPEAKER_00: Actually, let me correct that.
• 10:15
  SPEAKER_00: I didn't just write it, I lived it.
• 10:18
  SPEAKER_00: Then I wrote it again.
• 10:20
  SPEAKER_00: Then I published it, and the world kept changing.
• 10:24
  SPEAKER_00: And then I revised that book because the book that I published years ago, it's probably been almost five years.
• 10:31
  SPEAKER_00: It was honest, it was real, and it helped people.
• 10:35
  SPEAKER_00: You can still find my original book on Amazon and Kindle right now.
• 10:39
  SPEAKER_00: But the world in 2026 has changed exponentially and dramatically since the pandemic.
• 10:48
  SPEAKER_00: We watched entire industries restructure.
• 10:51
  SPEAKER_00: We watched AI walk into the room and change the rules overnight.
• 10:56
  SPEAKER_00: So the secure nine-to-five job became anything but that.
• 11:01
  SPEAKER_00: And we watched a generation of women over 40 start asking, if my job isn't guaranteed anyway, why am I not building my own thing?
• 11:09
  SPEAKER_00: And that question deserved a better, deeper, more complete answer than what I wrote some years ago.
• 11:17
  SPEAKER_00: So I went back in, I revised it, I expanded it, I added a workbook and tools, tools and exercises and plans and framework that you'll need for this post-pandemic economy.
• 11:30
  SPEAKER_00: I built it into something that doesn't just inspire you to make a move.
• 11:34
  SPEAKER_00: It actually walks you through the seven strategies you need to have in place before you leave, before you take that leap.
• 11:42
  SPEAKER_00: Don't quit yet.
• 11:44
  SPEAKER_00: That's the title of my book.
• 11:45
  SPEAKER_00: It's seven strategies every entrepreneur should know before leaving your nine to five job.
• 11:50
  SPEAKER_00: And I want to be clear about what this book is and what it's not.
• 11:54
  SPEAKER_00: This is not a just leap out there and figure it out book.
• 11:58
  SPEAKER_00: The world has enough of those.
• 11:59
  SPEAKER_00: And honestly, most of them were written by people who had a safety net.
• 12:04
  SPEAKER_00: They forgot to mention that.
• 12:05
  SPEAKER_00: Like you quit your job, oh, okay, yeah, but your husband is a surgeon.
• 12:10
  SPEAKER_00: Let's tell the whole testimony.
• 12:12
  SPEAKER_00: But this don't quit yet is for women who don't have the safety net.
• 12:17
  SPEAKER_00: The woman who has bills, a mortgage, kids, real responsibilities that don't evaporate just because you get inspired on a Tuesday.
• 12:26
  SPEAKER_00: The woman who is smart enough to know she wants more and wise enough to know she's shouldn't move just recklessly.
• 12:35
  SPEAKER_00: This book walks you through the real questions.
• 12:39
  SPEAKER_00: Am I running toward purpose or running away from a bad boss?
• 12:45
  SPEAKER_00: Because I don't want you to confuse passion with preparation.
• 12:50
  SPEAKER_00: Do you have the infrastructure to support what you're actually trying to build?
• 12:56
  SPEAKER_00: Can your life sustain transition, not just emotionally, but practically?
• 13:01
  SPEAKER_00: This means you have to know the difference between faith and recklessness.
• 13:05
  SPEAKER_00: And here's what I love about where we are right now as a community.
• 13:10
  SPEAKER_00: For 20 episodes, we've been doing the work.
• 13:14
  SPEAKER_00: We've done the internal work, the body work, the healing work.
• 13:18
  SPEAKER_00: And last the last two episodes with our fitness pastor, Coach George Moore, with Temple Maintenance, it really talked about the work we have to do physically.
• 13:28
  SPEAKER_00: It built us a foundation.
• 13:30
  SPEAKER_00: The GLP1 conversations gave you permission to use tools.
• 13:35
  SPEAKER_00: The menopause episodes gave you language for what your body is going through.
• 13:41
  SPEAKER_00: Don't quit yet is the next conversation.
• 13:44
  SPEAKER_00: Temple maintenance is giving you your body back, but the book helps you figure out what to do with the life you just reclaimed.
• 13:53
  SPEAKER_00: And it doesn't stop at the book.
• 13:54
  SPEAKER_00: The bonus workbook provides exercises and frameworks, and it takes the seven strategies and turns them into your personal transition plan that go deeper than the book could ever do.
• 14:06
  SPEAKER_00: Because I'm not interested in just selling you some information.
• 14:10
  SPEAKER_00: I want to provide a place where women can come and prepare properly, not just get excited.
• 14:16
  SPEAKER_00: The book is the front door, but everything else beyond that is in the house where everything happens.
• 14:24
  SPEAKER_00: And I'll be vulnerable about something.
• 14:27
  SPEAKER_00: I could have pushed the revised edition out faster.
• 14:30
  SPEAKER_00: I could have done it.
• 14:31
  SPEAKER_00: I could have rushed it because I experienced what I'm sure you have before.
• 14:36
  SPEAKER_00: Um, when you complete something and you feel like, oh, I should have done this differently, or I could have added something, or whatever it is, you feel like you should have done a different job.
• 14:45
  SPEAKER_00: I was there, but I didn't rush the revision because I realized I was living the message of my own book.
• 14:52
  SPEAKER_00: Like I'm I was living, don't quit yet.
• 14:54
  SPEAKER_00: But I didn't want to rush either.
• 14:57
  SPEAKER_00: Since the first published book was before the world really changed, I wanted to grow with that.
• 15:04
  SPEAKER_00: And I literally practiced what I preached.
• 15:07
  SPEAKER_00: I didn't quit on it and I didn't push it either, but I wanted to do it when it was ready.
• 15:13
  SPEAKER_00: And now it is.
• 15:15
  SPEAKER_00: At TFT Realty, we don't just sell homes, we guide transitions.

  SPEAKER_00: TFT Realty, we are your key to Atlanta's real estate.
• 16:04
  SPEAKER_00: Our faith focus today is found in Habakkuk chapter 2, verses 2 and 3, and you can probably quote it with me.
• 16:11
  SPEAKER_00: But the Bible simply says, to write the vision, make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it.
• 16:18
  SPEAKER_00: For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it will speak and it will not lie.
• 16:25
  SPEAKER_00: Though it tarries, wait for it, because it will surely come.
• 16:30
  SPEAKER_00: It will not tarry.
• 16:32
  SPEAKER_00: That was found in the New King James Version.
• 16:34
  SPEAKER_00: And I need you to hear three things in that passage.
• 16:38
  SPEAKER_00: And I read it and it hit me differently.
• 16:40
  SPEAKER_00: One thing I love about the Bible is alive, and it's just like the word is so different every time I take it in.
• 16:48
  SPEAKER_00: But the first part of that that struck me is writing the vision, not just dream it.
• 16:54
  SPEAKER_00: Write it, make it plain.
• 16:56
  SPEAKER_00: Get it out of your head and onto paper.
• 16:59
  SPEAKER_00: Give it structure, give it language, give it a plan.
• 17:03
  SPEAKER_00: And that's what don't quit yet helps you do.
• 17:06
  SPEAKER_00: The second part of the scripture says the vision is for an appointed time.
• 17:10
  SPEAKER_00: And I can shout right here.
• 17:12
  SPEAKER_00: That appointed time really got me.
• 17:15
  SPEAKER_00: Because the appointed time means it's not accidental.
• 17:18
  SPEAKER_00: An appointed time.
• 17:20
  SPEAKER_00: Not whenever you feel frustrated enough, not when you're tired of your boss, but appointed.
• 17:26
  SPEAKER_00: Meaning there's a right time and a wrong time.
• 17:30
  SPEAKER_00: And wisdom is knowing the difference.
• 17:33
  SPEAKER_00: Ask God for wisdom.
• 17:34
  SPEAKER_00: That's one thing.
• 17:35
  SPEAKER_00: He said, I will give you freely and upbraid if not.
• 17:38
  SPEAKER_00: He will not hold it back from you.
• 17:40
  SPEAKER_00: Ask God for your wisdom that you need in this season.
• 17:43
  SPEAKER_00: And the third part of that scripture says, though it tarries, wait for it.
• 17:49
  SPEAKER_00: That is the hardest part.
• 17:51
  SPEAKER_00: Waiting while you're restless.
• 17:53
  SPEAKER_00: That'll preach.
• 17:54
  SPEAKER_00: Waiting while you're restless.
• 17:55
  SPEAKER_00: But preparing while you're eager, building foundation while everyone else seems to be cutting the ribbon.
• 18:01
  SPEAKER_00: But the scripture says it will not lie.
• 18:05
  SPEAKER_00: It will not tarry.
• 18:07
  SPEAKER_00: Your vision is not late.
• 18:09
  SPEAKER_00: It's on a schedule you didn't write, however.
• 18:12
  SPEAKER_00: And your job right now, in this season, is not to leap.
• 18:18
  SPEAKER_00: Your job is to prepare so well that when the appointed time comes, you're ready to run.
• 18:24
  SPEAKER_00: Here's your journal job for this week.
• 18:27
  SPEAKER_00: I want you to take your journal.
• 18:29
  SPEAKER_00: Let me, I advertise this all the time.
• 18:32
  SPEAKER_00: She's not done yet.
• 18:33
  SPEAKER_00: You can get your journal.
• 18:34
  SPEAKER_00: They're in several colors, but yes, get yours.
• 18:36
  SPEAKER_00: And you should be writing in your journal.
• 18:38
  SPEAKER_00: You should write in your journal every week.
• 18:40
  SPEAKER_00: I used to write in my journal every day and I just got busy, but I do not let one full week go by without writing something in my journal because I use it for clarity and just decompressing.
• 18:51
  SPEAKER_00: But in your journals this week, I want you to write what desire has been waking up in me as my health has improved?
• 18:59
  SPEAKER_00: And have I been paying attention to it or just dismissing it?
• 19:03
  SPEAKER_00: Because you know sometimes you can get that feeling and you're like, I know it's not.
• 19:07
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I don't know what that is, but I'm not gonna pursue it.
• 19:10
  SPEAKER_00: But what desire do you have that's there?
• 19:13
  SPEAKER_00: Write in your journal and be honest.
• 19:15
  SPEAKER_00: Ask yourself, am I ready to act on what I'm feeling?
• 19:19
  SPEAKER_00: Or am I being invited to prepare for it?
• 19:23
  SPEAKER_00: What would it look like to take that next step right now without abandoning your current foundation?
• 19:31
  SPEAKER_00: Sit with that.
