“I was 55, overweight, and tired. My body hurt. I thought I was just getting old. But a quiet voice wondered if
feeling this way was inevitable, and I found my way back into the sunlight of feeling healthy and happy and alive again.
Now at 66, I’m sharing that journey. It took me 10 years to save myself. If others feel miserable and hopeless and
want to make a change, maybe I can save them some time.”

“…a heartfelt, humorous, and relatable journey through decades of evolving health trends, told with refreshing honesty and wit.” This book doesn’t just inspire—it motivates. Halfway through, I was so moved I put the book down and went for a walk.

Don’t Give In! is the encouragement we all need to stop settling for what no longer serves us and start showing up for our healthiest selves. You’ll laugh, reflect, and walk away with renewed energy to keep going.” Janice L.


“Don’t Give In! is a heartfelt, pragmatic guide for women tired of being told their best years are behind them. Its strength lies in its authenticity and refusal to oversimplify the complexities of midlife health. While not a substitute for medical advice, it’s a powerful tool for mindset shifts and sustainable change.” Sarah J.
