The Midlife Mom Edit: Redefining Health & Wellness Over 40
Are you a mom in your 40s or beyond, watching your body change in ways you didn't expect and can't quite explain? The weight creeping up despite doing everything right. Dragging through every day with exhaustion. The overwhelming amount of information online that leaves you more confused than when you started. You don't need more information. You need the right information, and someone to help you cut through the noise. The Midlife Mom Edit is the place to come when you're done with the overwhelm and ready for real answers. Each week, host Ashley Malik — women's health coach, certified life coach, and MSW — brings you actionable strategies on weight loss, mindset, strength training, anti-inflammatory nutrition, GLP-1s, and hormones. Everything that actually matters for feeling strong, healthy, and more vibrant than you have in years. After losing 65 pounds in perimenopause, healing her gut, surviving breast cancer, and helping countless women transform their health in midlife, Ashley knows that the women who feel the best over 40 aren't the ones who try harder. They're the ones who learn to think differently. This is your season. It's time to edit the story you've been telling yourself about midlife.

If you've ever felt like you were holding it all together on the outside while quietly falling apart on the inside as you navigate midlife, this episode is for you.
This week, I sit down with trauma and grief specialist Jill McMahon, who has spent over 25 years working with individuals through some of life's most devastating experiences.
Together we unpack something that you may have never considered — that the chronic stress of everyday midlife life may actually be living in your body as trauma.
This enlightening and informative conversation will validate what you have been feeling and give you real, practical tools to start healing. Even if you don't think you have trauma in your past, I promise this is an episode you can't miss.
In This Episode:
📌 How your body responds to chronic stress the same way it responds to a catastrophic event
📌 The connection between unresolved trauma and amplified menopause symptoms
📌 Why high-achieving women are especially vulnerable to carrying an invisible load that quietly damages their health
📌 What the research says about trauma and cognitive decline in menopausal women
