In this empowering and relatable episode, Liz sits down with Samantha Flaherty, founder of Built Babe® Fitness, to talk about the mindset shifts women need to create sustainable results, not the “start over every Monday” cycle.

Samantha breaks down why strength training matters at every age, how to stay consistent even when you’re busy, and why building confidence in the gym starts with one step, not perfection. Together, they dive into flexible nutrition, realistic habit-building, community support, and why messy action always beats waiting for the “perfect time.” Whether you’re a beginner, returning to fitness after kids, or simply tired of feeling behind, this conversation will help you feel grounded, encouraged, and ready to take your next step.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why January isn’t the best time to start new routines

• The difference between motion vs action

• How to stop “starting over” every few weeks

• Why strength training matters for women at every age

• How to build confidence walking into a gym

• How to make consistent progress without burnout

• The power of community in women’s wellness

• Why flexible nutrition always wins long-term

• Why messy action is the secret to staying consistent

• How Samantha is building an empowering fitness community online and locally
