Hildee Weiss

In this episode, I’m joined by author, runner, and advocate Hildee Weiss. A wife, mother of five, grandmother, and author, Hildee has spent years writing about parenting, pregnancy loss, health, and personal growth. After prioritizing her own physical and mental health in midlife, she discovered a passion for running and strength training that transformed the way she viewed herself, exercise, and aging.

This conversation explores what it means to rediscover yourself after motherhood, challenge deeply ingrained beliefs about diet and body image, and build confidence through movement. Hildee shares her journey from raising five children in eight years to finding herself on a starting line for the first time, proving that it is never too late to pursue new goals and redefine what success looks like.

We Talk About:

-recovering from multiple pregnancies

-Gen X weight loss culture

-the value of strength training

-emotional recovery

-seeking external validation

-gaining experience with racing
