Not Young. Better.

The Mindset Shift Every Woman Needs for Fitness After 40: With Allison Tenney


Listen Later

Today’s episode is one every woman needs to hear. 💥

I’m joined by the incredible Allison Tenney—former Division I athlete, collegiate soccer coach, strength and conditioning expert, and founder of The Den and Alpha strength programs for women.
Allison’s journey from high-level athlete to business owner to midlife strength coach is raw, powerful, and deeply relatable.

In this conversation, we dig into:

  • How to rebuild your relationship with your body when life changes everything

  • The truth about strength training in your 40s (and why heavy is relative)

  • Why chasing motivation won't save you—and what actually will

  • How to ditch the all-or-nothing mindset and build a fitness practice that fits real life

  • How unwinding toxic body standards can change everything about how you move, live, and feel

  • Why community is the secret ingredient nobody talks about

Allison shares her powerful perspective on identity shifts, embracing enoughness, training smarter (not harder), and building autonomy over your health as you age. Her advice is practical, empowering, and honestly? Life-changing.

Whether you're picking up weights for the first time, feeling stuck after years of inconsistency, or just craving a new relationship with your strength—this episode will meet you where you are.

🎧 Hit play and let's change the conversation around aging, fitness, and self-worth—together.
