"Muscle is the organ of longevity — and strength is the gateway to feminine vitality."

Such a special episode for you.

In this heartfelt reunion episode, Valentina sit down with one of her dear friends, strength and nutrition coach Alyssa Favreau — founder of the Switch to Strength app — to talk about what it really means to reclaim your health, your power, and your story as a woman. From battling cancer at 12 to being told she'd never have children, Alyssa has redefined what's possible through mindset, muscle, and mission.

We explore why diet culture has failed women, how strength training can heal more than just your body, and how to align your energy for success — in midlife and beyond.

If you've ever felt the pressure to shrink, do more, or push through… this episode is your permission slip to come home to your power.

What We Cover:

• How diet culture conditions women to disappear

• Why strength training is the missing key to hormone health & longevity

• Alyssa's healing journey from cancer survivor to empowered coach

• How to train with your cycle, not against it

• Creating sustainable energy through alignment vs. burnout
