In this episode, I share the one mindset shift that helped me finally get stronger in my 40s. For years, I held myself back with the thought, “I don’t want to hurt myself.” I break down how this belief keeps so many women stuck, why avoiding challenge actually increases our risk of injury as we age, and what changed for me when I finally let go of that fear.
I also share the conversations with my son, my husband, and even insights from big-wave surfer Laird Hamilton that completely transformed how I think about strength, aging, and discomfort. This episode will inspire you to push yourself, lift heavier, and trust your ability to adapt and grow.

Key Takeaway
If you want to get stronger, you must shift the thoughts that are keeping you comfortable. Building strength requires mental courage, physical challenge, and a willingness to experience small setbacks along the way. You can become stronger than you think—at any age.
