Episode 18: Strong Grandma Starter Kit: A Conversation with Jille Dunsmore

Every woman wants to show up strong, healthy, and vibrant for her family—especially when grandkids arrive. But in midlife, sugar cravings, low energy, and the changes of perimenopause and menopause can make that vision feel far away.

In this inspiring episode of Midlife with Brooke, Brooke Oniki sits down with Jille Dunsmore, an advanced certified life, weight, and mindset coach, to talk about how midlife women can take back their health, build strength, and create a body they love.

Jille shares her personal story of overcoming decades of sugar addiction, reframing her relationship with her body, and learning how self-love can fuel lasting change. Together, Brooke and Jille explore what it really takes to become the kind of grandma who doesn’t sit on the sidelines—but plays, laughs, and thrives alongside her family.

You’ll learn:

• Why loving your body and wanting change can go hand in hand
• How to reframe your relationship with your body as a sacred partnership
• Why building muscle is essential in midlife (and how to start even if you “hate” weights)
• The truth about sugar and carb cravings—and how to retrain your brain to stop sabotaging yourself
• Small, simple steps to start creating your “Strong Grandma” future today

Reflection Prompts:

• How do I speak to and about my body—and how can I shift toward compassion?
• What’s one small step I can take today toward being the strong, vibrant woman I want to be in 10 years?
• Where am I letting cravings or old habits override my long-term goals?
