StrongHer Collective Podcast is all about women’s strength. Hosted by personal trainer, yoga teacher, and research-loving hype girl Morganne Aaberg, this podcast is all about redefining fitness for women by shifting the focus from shrinking to strengthening.
Each episode dives into evidence-based conversations on resistance training, fitness myths, mindset, and more—all through the lens of empowering women to live vibrant, independent, adventurous lives. Whether you're picking up weights for the first time or deep in your strength journey, you'll find support, science, and a whole lot of encouragement here.
This is your space to challenge old narratives, embrace your power, and build a body that supports the life you want to live. Strength belongs to every woman—and in the StrongHer Collective, we lift each other up.

Eating for Health and Strength with Registered Dietician Suz Stein
This week, I’m joined by Suz Stein, a registered dietitian, former D1 athlete, and fitness instructor, to dive deep into the complex world of nutrition and fitness. Together, we explore all things nutrition related, from fueling your workouts with carbohydrates, optimal protein intake to build muscle, health beyond weight loss, and so much more.
Suz’s refreshing perspective will support your approach to nutrition—whether your goal is health, performance, or simply feeling your best.
