This week Mandi and Wanda chat with athlete, journalist and author Alyssa Ages. Alyssa shares how lifting got her through phases of change and growth and how her writing and training worlds collide. She opens up about competing in strongwoman events, balancing a freelance writing career, and writing for major publications while staying true to her strengths.
They talk about how strength training helped shape her identity, the physical and mental shifts that come with intense training, and what it's like being a woman in strength sports and in media. Alyssa also shares her take on the narratives we tell ourselves about our bodies and our potential.
