Alright, friends, let’s talk straight: if you’re over 40 and still slogging through random workouts, obsessing over fad diets, or clinging to those cute little 5lb dumbbells… we need to have a heart-to-heart.

This episode is the replay of a live presentation I gave to over 2,600 women (yeah, the Zoom room actually maxed out, wild). And I didn’t hold back. Because here’s the truth: what worked in your 20s isn’t going to cut it anymore. And no, it’s not because you’re “broken” or “too old.” It’s because most of us are making the same three mistakes that keep us stuck spinning our wheels.

We’re going deep into why muscle is the closest thing you’ve got to a fountain of youth and why building it is about so much more than looking jacked in your tank top (although that’s a solid perk). From metabolism to brain health to literally not falling on your face in your 70s, this stuff matters.

I’ll walk you through the three shifts you have to make if you want to get strong, stay healthy, and actually see results from the work you’re putting in. Spoiler: it’s not about trying harder; it’s about finally doing the right things in the right way.

So if you’ve ever thought, “Ugh, I’m working so hard and nothing’s happening…” this one’s for you. You are stronger than you think. And it’s time to prove it.

What’s Inside:

  • Why strength training is non-negotiable for women over 40 (hint: it’s way beyond “toning”)
  • The three most common mistakes that keep women stuck and how to fix them once and for all
  • The truth about protein, carbs, and what your body actually needs to fuel muscle growth
  • Real-life transformations from women who ditched diet culture and finally got strong AF

So let me ask you… what would getting strong mean for you? More confidence in the gym, finally feeling good in your body, or maybe just proving to yourself that it’s not “too late”? Whatever it is, I want to hear it. Come hang with me on Instagram and tell me what being strong AF looks like in your world.
