Are you a mom in your 40s or beyond, watching your body change in ways you didn't expect and can't quite explain? The weight creeping up despite doing everything right. Dragging through every day with exhaustion. The overwhelming amount of information online that leaves you more confused than when you started. You don't need more information. You need the right information, and someone to help you cut through the noise. The Midlife Mom Edit is the place to come when you're done with the overwhelm and ready for real answers. Each week, host Ashley Malik — women's health coach, certified life coach, and MSW — brings you actionable strategies on weight loss, mindset, strength training, anti-inflammatory nutrition, GLP-1s, and hormones. Everything that actually matters for feeling strong, healthy, and more vibrant than you have in years. After losing 65 pounds in perimenopause, healing her gut, surviving breast cancer, and helping countless women transform their health in midlife, Ashley knows that the women who feel the best over 40 aren't the ones who try harder. They're the ones who learn to think differently. This is your season. It's time to edit the story you've been telling yourself about midlife.

  • What I Eat in a Day as a Perimenopause Coach (It’s Not What You Think)
    20 Oct 2026

    What if eating anti-inflammatory didn't feel like a punishment? Not the sad, boring salad, not a separate dinner while your family eats pizza. Not in perimenopause, when you're already juggling meetings, client calls, and everyone else's schedule.

    I want you to THINK differently about healthy eating in your 40s, so inside this episode I'm walking you through exactly what I eat in a day, from my savory breakfast bowl to my daily chocolate, and what I'm thinking at every single meal.

    After listening you'll understand why the "what I eat in a day" videos, the copied meal plans, and the bland, same-every-day salads never stuck for you, and why the story you tell yourself about food matters more than the food on your plate.

    If you're constantly asking yourself "Ugh, what am I supposed to eat today?"... this episode is for you. You'll see how I put breakfast and lunch on autopilot, why I eat chocolate every day as a health coach, and how one dinner strategy feeds my whole family without cooking anything extra.

    Inside This Episode

    • Why "what I eat in a day" videos leave you back at square one
    • The question that turned my salad resentment into a lunch I love
    • The breakfast I eat almost every morning (yes, there are vegetables, and yes, there's Bitchin' Sauce)
    • How I eat chocolate every single day, on purpose, with zero guilt
    • How I serve nachos, tacos, and spaghetti to my family without making two dinners
    • Two small shifts to try this week so healthy eating stops feeling like deprivation

  • 4 Steps To Fat Loss Over 40 (Different Than ANY Diet You've Tried)
    13 Oct 2026

    What if it was never you? Not your willpower, not your discipline, not how badly you wanted to lose weight in your 40s.

    I want you to THINK differently about fat loss in your 40s, so inside this episode I'm walking you through the 4-part framework I teach my students: Think, Thrive, Master, and Maintain.

    After listening you’ll understand why Whole30, keto, 21-day challenges, the $27 booty workout you bought were never built to survive the life you have today. They were built to give you a quick win, and that’s it.


    If you’re constantly asking yourself “what’s wrong with me?” and “why can’t I figure this out or be consistent”, this episode is for you. You’ll see exactly which pieces were missing from the plans you've tried, why my students start with their mindset and nervous system instead of calories, and how Component Cooking lets you cook three nights a week and eat all week long.

    Inside This Episode

    • Why everything you’ve tried was built for a quick win, and why falling off track was never your fault
    • The approaches every other program skips
    • How you can cook 3 nights a week and still serve burgers, tacos, and pizza meatballs
    • What to do with the nightly glass of wine, the work trip, and the holidays so they stop knocking you off track
    • The identity shift that keeps your results going long after any program ends
    • Two small things to try this week to find the gap in the last plan you tried

  • She Followed The Mood, Not The Plan: A Method Student Shares What Changed
    6 Oct 2026

    You know how it goes: you’re on plan for losing weight in perimenopause, and things are on track for a few weeks. You're eating well, you're moving, you’re good. And then you start to slack a little, and a voice says “you've earned a break”, and somehow that break lasts a month. Sound familiar?

    That was Heather. And she's here to tell you exactly what changed.

    Heather Silver is a student inside The Perimenopause Weight Loss Method, and she is not a woman who doesn't try. In fact, she travels constantly for work and fun, goes back and forth to her husband's house (which is mid-remodel), and often cooks for one.

    She carried snacks in her bag, and never missed her morning protein coffee. Yet, she was still landing back at square one every few weeks, wondering what went wrong.

    In this conversation, Heather shares what she discovered about why she kept getting stuck, (and it had nothing to do with willpower). We talk about the old story she'd been carrying around about who she was, the simple non-negotiables that now go with her into airports and hotel restaurants, and how she sets goals today without quietly quitting the second the scale ticks up.

    Inside This Episode

    • How sneaky thoughts (like "I deserve a break") turn a “cheat day” into a full month off, every single time
    • What "following the mood, not the plan" looks like in real life, and how Heather catches it now
    • Heather’s travel-proof non-negotiables, including the bathroom squat habit that keep her on track no matter where she is
    • How she thinks differently about stepping on the scale, no matter the number
