Your Midlife Comeback Story

By: Holly Bertone PMP CNHP
  • Summary

  • Do you wake up every day with a to-do list that gets results for everyone else... but taking care of yourself is NOT on the list?

    Welcome to Your Midlife Comeback Story, the podcast for successful women in midlife to create their ultimate comeback by prioritizing their health so that their high-achievement lifestyle no longer clashes with unwanted weight gain, lack of energy, and restless nights.

    I'm your host, Holly Bertone. I'm a former FBI Chief of Staff turned Certified Holistic Health Coach, and I help women in midlife find the clues to improve their health.

    What I noticed is that while we're successful with our careers and families, those same action strategies don't work when it comes to sustainable habits for our health.

    I learned this the hard way after being diagnosed with breast cancer and an autoimmune disease, and I knew there's more to life than burning the candle at both ends. I decided to take back control of what's most important in life, and I'm here to help you do the same.

    Tune in every Friday for tactical action plans and inspirational stories so that you can create your midlife comeback story that is worthy of an 80's movie montage!

    Feb 7 2025

    If you’re tired of finding yourself stuck in this cycle of big diet promises that never work long-term, then it’s time to rebel against the industry that’s sabotaging your success.

    In today’s episode of Your Midlife Comeback Story, we’re answering the question: Why does the expert’s diet advice seem to work for everyone else, but not for you?

    You’ll learn the secret behind why the weight loss industry is designed for you to fail, how these diets ignore your real-life challenges, and how you can determine if the expert or the product is in your best interest, or if it’s designed to keep you dependent on their rules.

    If you’re ready to create a weight loss journey that works for your unique life, then this episode is for you. Let’s go!


    Together, we will unpack:

    • Why expert diet advice seems to work for everyone, except you.
    • How does blindly following the experts lead to failure?
    • Why being a Radiant Rebel is the best way to ditch diet culture and create your own sustainable path.
    • How to critically evaluate the advice you’re given and start trusting yourself to take control of your health.
