205. Getting stronger by shifting from perfectionism to progress w/Anita Fehr


Listen Later

JK welcomes Women’s health coach Anita Fehr to talk about what it really takes for women over 40 to build strength and improve their health.


Anita opens up about her own journey—how she used to chase perfection in fitness and nutrition, only to realize that real success comes from consistency and small wins.


Now, as an online coach, she helps other women break free from the all-or-nothing mindset and build habits that last.


They discuss why strength training should be a priority, why recovery is essential for long-term success, and how shifting from perfectionism to steady progress can transform your results.


If you’ve ever felt stuck in the cycle of starting over every time things aren’t “perfect,” this episode is for you.
