So often we measure our success by decrease - Is the number on the scale going down? Are my clothing sizes getting smaller? But what would it look like to shift our focus to increase? How much weight could I lift? How strong could I get?

Meet Alyssa Ages, who asked herself this very question. She wanted to know how physically strong she could become. And that question led her on a journey of building real strength, becoming a Strongman Competitor, and, at the age of 40, pulling a semi truck.

Alyssa documents her journey to uncover the true meaning of strength in her book Secrets of Giants. This week we sit down and talk about body image, many women’s ongoing fear of “getting bulky”, muscle and bone health with aging, and the confidence that comes with being someone that’s really, really strong.

Get ready for a truly inspirational and empowering conversation that just might change the way you measure success.
