The Pretty Little Lifters

In this episode of The Pretty Little Lifters Podcast, we’re going to do some reflecting on 2023. It’s time to think about our grows and glows from this year. I thought of 3 grows  (these are areas I need some growth in…things I didn’t do so hot in and I’d like to do better)....and 3 glows (these are things I’m proud of and I think I did well).

I also share how I implemented my word of the year “experiment,” and why I did monthly body composition tests this year!
