Feel Stronger, Leaner (if that’s what you’re after),
and Like Yourself Again
The Smarter Fitness Program for Women in Midlife
Spring 2026 cohort
8 weeks | April 20 – June 15
VIRTUAL PROGRAM
– SOLD OUT –
Become Body Brilliant and reclaim your Vitality!
In your twenties and thirties you could run on 6 hours sleep without a hitch. Had energy for Friday nights. Could drop the holiday weight with a quick diet reset and an extra spin class.
But lately, not so much. And you’re wondering if you’ll ever see your waistline again.
If there was a shift where “all is well” became “what the f*ck is happening?!”, this is for you!
The midlife shifts and symptoms are real.
Whether you’re feeling fatigue, bloating, insomnia, mystery joint pain, belly fat that won’t budge despite all things, or the countless other potential midlife symptoms, I see you. I feel you. And there’s hope.
What I’ve learned through my own journey, advanced training, and working with countless midlife women is this: there’s a smarter way through. One that doesn’t involve punishing workouts, extreme diets, or chasing programs and trends that aren’t designed for us.
And it starts here.
As the program is 100% online, you can join from anywhere.
Power, Strength & Soul is an 8-week virtual program for women in midlife who aren’t willing to accept this as a season of decline, but as a gateway to evolve, rise, and step into their authentic power.
For women who are done…
- Pushing and overriding their bodies
- Running on fumes, hoping nobody notices, yet secretly wishing someone would
- Being dismissed in their doctor’s office, while their symptoms suck their life force
- Dreading the closet, avoiding mirrors, and sitting out of photos they’ll wish they had someday
- Fearing the best is in the rear view mirror, and this is just how it is now
For women who are ready for…
- A new approach that honors where they are, and supports their nervous system
- Feeling comfortable in their skin and at home in their bodies
- Experiencing greater sex drive (high cortisol and a missing libido, we see you!)
- Feeling vibrantly alive and energized for the things – and people – they love most
- Finding a radical new approach that actually works for this season, with real support every step of the way
This is more than a fitness program.
It’s a menomorphosis.
A complete inside-out transformation, designed specifically for this phase of life. One that builds real strength, supports your hormones, and reconnects you with yourself in a way that feels like coming home.
Instead of pushing harder and eating less, you’ll learn a smarter, more sustainable approach.
One that works with your body now.
✔ Regulate your nervous system – this isn’t about calmness, but capacity and resilience
✔ Build lean muscle, steady energy, and metabolic fire
✔ Optimize bone density
✔ Reduce inflammation
✔ Support your hormones
✔ Create lasting results without the backfires of HIIT, fasting, or extreme dieting
The Menomorphosis That Started It All
Inner transformation leads to outer results
Coach Rebecca’s Journey:
From Grief & Debilitating Pain to Renewed Strength & Confidence…
A year of deep loss, grief, and injury left me completely depleted.
Cumulative grief, a concussion, whiplash, multiple injuries, and musculoskeletal syndrome (common in perimenopause but rarely diagnosed) left me feeling broken from head to toe. Even short dog walks felt challenging.
I had spent months caregiving for a close friend with terminal illness. After his death, grief compounded on grief. I felt lost in it, numb, disconnected, and without a no clear solution.
And alongside it came the midlife “pleasures”:
Night sweats. Insomnia. Brain fog. Increased food sensitivities. Bloating. Full body joint pain.
Essentially, a body I felt completely foreign in.
Then I stumbled across an 8-week vegan bodybuilding program. Not something that would have normally appealed to me, but something about it called me forward.
The program offered something I desperately needed: a radical return to myself.
It worked.
I returned to my body. And I got amazing body comp results. But it also revealed what was missing.
In surrendering to another coach’s program, I followed the plan unquestioning. And I overtrained. While I got leaner than I’d ever been, I also unexpectedly slipped into body dysmorphia. Something that genuinely surprised me given both my background and deep connection with my body.
(The photos you see here are from that program. Leaner than ever, yes. But also depleted, dysmorphic, and overtrained. The photos at both the top and bottom of this page tell a different story.)
So, I made some key shifts and began rebuilding from the inside out. On my terms.
That experience led to the creation of Power, Strength & Soul (formerly The Plant-Strong Sculpt) – the program I wish I’d had myself.
I know what’s possible and I created this program because I want that for you too.
Strong & Thriving at 40 and Beyond!
What Makes This Program Different?
Most fitness advice was designed for younger bodies. Or male ones. And some of the biggest wellness trends right now are doing midlife women more harm than good.
HIIT, fasting, sardine diets, and cold plunges for example. And while these approaches may be fine for some, for many of us, they further dysregulate the nervous system, spike cortisol and increase fat storage, and leave hormones more disrupted than before.
Power, Strength & Soul is built on what actually works for women in midlife. Research-backed, hormone-aware, and designed to work with your body.
Carefully sequenced across four phases, each phase builds on the last in a deliberate progression.
Phases Include:
- Nervous system regulation because no diet or exercise program will get you results if your body is running on a cortisol roller coaster.
- Recovery strategies that reduce stress, improve sleep, and prevent the overtraining trap that so many of us fall into without realizing it.
- Smart nutrition that supports hormones and fat loss, without obsession, rigidity, or restriction.
- Strength training that ignites metabolism, sculpts lean muscle, and protects bone density without burning you out.
- Hormone education and supportive lifestyle habits that help you understand your body and make everything else work better.
Your body is changing. Your approach needs to change with it.
This program will help you….
- Regulate your nervous system – build capacity and resilience
- Shed stubborn belly fat by eating more not less
- Build lean muscle and protect your bones for the long game
- Sleep through the night again with fewer night sweats, hot flashes, and 3am wake-ups
- Rev up your metabolism without overtraining or burning out
- Reduce inflammation, ease joint pain, and move through your days with greater ease
- Feel energized, strong, and genuinely confident in your body again

IN THEIR OWN WORDS
These are the stories of women who participated in the P.S.S. and discovered strength, energy, and confidence many of them didn’t think was possible anymore.
Meet Tiya
“I’m loving myself in the mirror – insane! I haven’t felt this amazing in my skin in a long time.”
Where I started: I was exhausted. I had multiple alarms set and would drag myself out of bed at the latest possible time. I was fasting for 18–19 hours at a time and killing myself in my workouts, yet still not seeing the results I wanted.
Eight weeks later: I get up with my 6am alarm and head straight for my workout. My energy is balanced, the afternoon crash is gone. I’m not fasting or doing killer workouts, yet I’ve gotten stronger, lost belly fat, and have more energy for my family.
— Tiya
Meet Tracy
“I didn’t just ‘do’ the program. I allowed myself to go deeper.”
Where I started: I used to approach programs like this with rigidity. While I got physical results, I often felt deprived, along with guilt and shame when I couldn’t do the program perfectly. I wanted more ease, freedom and sense of confidence.
Eight weeks later: Through Rebecca’s coaching, I’ve released the rigidity and all-or-nothing mindset, and no longer feel guilt or shame with imperfect adherence. I lost 7 pounds, 5.5 cm from my hips and 4 cm from my waist. I increased all my weights, stayed injury-free, and felt fantastic. Most importantly, I stepped into a new identity as a strong, resourceful woman who prioritizes her health, and feel more confident than ever!
— Tracy
Meet Tiffany
“I learned how to shift away from all-or-nothing behaviors and make lasting change.”
Where I started: I was the heaviest I had ever been at 191 pounds. My alcohol use was at an all-time high, my periods were super heavy, and my body hurt 24/7 with joint pain and Achilles tendonitis. While I had lost 30 pounds prior to PSS, I still wasn’t eating well and I was scared of gaining the weight back again.
Eight weeks later: I move daily, often hitting 10,000 steps or more, and I have started Pilates which I’m loving. My period is the lightest it’s been in 2 years. My heel pain has gone from a 7 to a TWO, and I now sleep solidly through the night. I feel healthy and fit, stronger, and even lost an additional 7 pounds and 8.5 inches. I’m confident and excited to keep going!
— Tiffany
Meet Luzelle
“I no longer see myself as fragile.”
Where I started: After a chronic illness diagnosis 13 years ago, I identified as a woman with a strong will, but a fragile body. When we began PSS, I felt tired and overwhelmed, and starting the busiest season of work. I wasn’t sure I could do it.
Eight weeks later: Rebecca helped me approach PSS in a way that felt doable for me. I lost 4lbs, sugar cravings went down and my energy went up. I’m mountain biking up hills I couldn’t before, more than doubled my rowing distance in the same timeframe, and feeling stronger overall. Most importantly, I now feel like a strong woman in body, mind, and spirit. I feel excited to be stronger in midlife than I was in my 30s!
— Luzelle

From the Women Themselves
THEIR WORDS. MY WHY.
“This program changed my life!
After being stuck for 5 years, I’ve lost nearly 10lbs, feel stronger and changed my shape.
I’m back on track despite the challenges of a medical practice in COVID and I’m still going with new habits.
Thanks so much Rebecca – I can’t wait for the next round!”
“I’m proud of my results and hard work, commitment and dedication to achieve them.
It’s been so fun doing this with the group. thank you again Rebecca for being an incredible coach.
This program came at the perfect time for me and I am immensely grateful.”
Meet Amy Bondar, Holistic & Medical nutritional therapist
“I didn’t just lose weight. I shape-shifted.”
Where I started: I was about to turn 45 and wanted to feel strong, vibrant, and in incredible shape again. I had always exercised and eaten well, but I was ready to be guided in a new direction and see what was truly possible for my body. I was carrying a lot emotionally and needed something positive to focus on.
Eight weeks later: After 8 weeks of focus, dedication, trust and hard work, I am thrilled with my results. I lost 4.3 pounds, 3 inches from my waist, 1 inch from my hips, and gained ½ inch on my biceps. My body feels stronger and more sculpted. And most importantly, I am proud to say I LOVE MY BODY. I feel vibrant, confident, and proud of my commitment to myself. Even coaches sometimes need coaches. I’m so grateful to you, Rebecca. Thank you!
