POWER (RE)PLAY - Episode 21 - It's Never Too Late to Get Fit and Healthy with Joan and Michelle MacDonald

(Originally aired May 23, 2024)

In this uplifting episode, Melissa sits down with mother-daughter powerhouse Joan MacDonald (@trainwithjoan) and Michelle MacDonald (@michellemacdonaldofficial) to explore what’s truly possible when women choose strength, consistency, and self-belief — no matter their age.

Joan began her fitness journey at 70 and has since inspired millions of women to reclaim their health. Michelle, her coach and daughter, shares the training, nutrition, and mindset strategies that made Joan’s transformation sustainable and life-changing.

What We Cover:

  • Joan’s turning point and how she began at age 70
  • Michelle’s expert approach to strength training for women in midlife
  • The emotional and identity shifts that come with reinventing yourself
  • Why it’s never too late to build strength, confidence, and vitality
  • How visibility and community empower women to age powerfully
