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.

The Summer Body is Bullshirt
It’s summer, which means the weather’s hot and the pressure to have a “summer body” is even hotter. In this episode, we unpack where that idea comes from, how it harms women, and what we can do to push back. From magazine covers to crash diets, we're shifting the focus from appearance to strength, function, and confidence.
PS - Any Good Place fans out there? If you don't get the "Bullshirt" reference in the episode title, this is your sign to discover one of TVs best shows!
