In this episode, I’m sitting down with my friend and teammate, April, to talk about her journey into fitness and how it evolved into powerlifting.
We dive into the highs and the hard seasons — navigating injuries, rebuilding strength, and the mental shifts that come with committing to long-term growth. April shares what it’s really like to face setbacks head-on and choose to keep showing up, even when the path forward isn’t linear.
But this conversation goes beyond the platform. We talk about the power of community in a sport that may look individual from the outside — and how having the right people in your corner can make all the difference when things feel heavy.
This episode is about resilience, perseverance, and the kind of strength that’s built both under the bar and within yourself.
