In this episode, I’m joined by Amber Dawn to talk all things women in powerlifting, strength training, and coaching. We dive into how to train at every age, build long-term strength, and approach powerlifting with a focus on longevity, performance, and sustainability.
Amber shares her journey through the sport, along with insights on what makes a great powerlifting coach, how to support athletes effectively, and why community and inclusivity matter in strength sports. We also reflect on our own experiences in lifting—what’s changed over time, lessons learned, and how our past shapes the way we train and coach today.
This episode is for anyone interested in powerlifting for women, strength training for longevity, improving your coaching skills, or simply finding a more sustainable and meaningful approach to fitness.
