Perimenopause, Strength Training, and Movement for Women with Angie Spinelli

Julissa sits down with Angie Spinelli, a Charleston-based fitness professional of over 23 years, to talk about what it really means to rebuild a career and a body in a new season of life.

They cover the phases every woman moves through, prenatal, postpartum, perimenopause, menopause, and why "movement is medicine" isn't just a slogan but a daily practice of strength, stillness, and self-trust. Along the way: yoga as a spiritual practice, the myth that exercise is only about weight loss, and why "power in the pause" might be the most important lesson of all.

Talked about in this episode:

• Getting laid off after 21 years when the gym was bought out
• Yoga as "a journey to the self through the self," not just stretching
• The power in the pause: using breath work to calm the nervous system
• Strength training and lifting heavy weights as women age
• Reframing menopause and perimenopause as a season with real positives
• Why "I hate exercise, will I still lose weight?" is the wrong question entirely
