Ever feel like you're doing everything right in the gym – showing up, lifting, putting in the work – but the progress just isn't there?You're not broken, and you're not alone.

This episode is the next in new series on the four main strength gaps keeping athletic women over 40 from seeing the results you expect from your training. We're unpacking why these gaps show up more often as you age, what's really going on underneath the frustration, and how to get you moving in the right direction with strength training.

In episode, you'll explore the all-or-nothing trap so many high achieving athletic women fall into with rigid programs that demand perfection, the cycle that keeps wearing you down, and what flexible, real-life-proof programming actually looks like.
