I used to think that wanting to look good was a bad thing - that real strength came only from performance goals. But I’ve learned that the two can coexist.

In this episode, I talk about finding balance between strength and aesthetics, what injury taught me about self-acceptance, and the research behind consistent training, effort, and muscle growth.

A reminder that you can love your body for what it can do and how it looks.
