20. Navigating Weight Loss & Big Life Changes in Midlife with Ashley Malik

In this episode of Girlfriend's Guide to Midlife podcast, I’m chatting with the amazing Ashley Malik—a midlife mom from Highlands Ranch, Colorado, who has completely transformed her life (and body!) after 50.

Ashley’s story is one so many of us will relate to—feeling stuck, frustrated, and unsure where to even begin. But after years of trial, error, and research, she not only lost the weight, but created a method that’s now helped hundreds of other women do the same.

We talk about:
✨ Her “aha moment” that sparked the shift
🥗 The anti-inflammatory approach that made a massive difference
🍽️ Her component cooking method (SO genius for busy families with different food needs!)
🧠 The mindset work that truly made the weight loss stick

Ashley keeps it real about the struggles, the self-doubt, and what it really takes to feel good in your body again—especially in midlife.

This episode is packed with encouragement, practical tips, and the reminder that it’s never too late to take your health back and feel amazing in your skin.
