StrongHer Collective
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.

Listener Q & A: Recovery, Cycle Syncing, How Often to Train, and More!
This week we tackle YOUR questions about women's fitness, and fitness in general. We cover considerations for perimenopause and menopause (also check out the episode titled Menopause & HIIT: Science vs. Social Media claims), cycle syncing (surprise - don't spend money on "miracle" programs), lifting heavy and the effects on joints as we age, sleep and sleep debt, what it actually means to lift heavy, and how often to train vs. rest.
