You’re part of a community that sees you, supports you, and celebrates you — every step, every win, no matter how big or small. Let’s do this together.

Episode 1 : Getting Strong in Your 40s - Even If You Never Were “Athletic”
Welcome to the very first episode of the Fierce Mama Fitcast — recorded from my daughter’s closet, because real mom life doesn’t come with a podcast studio.
In this episode, I’m talking about the belief that it’s “too late” to get strong, feel confident, or make changes — especially for moms in their 30s, 40s, and beyond. Spoiler: it’s not.
If you’ve ever felt behind, overwhelmed, or unsure where to start, this is for you. I’m sharing two small things you can do today to start showing up for yourself — no guilt, no perfection, just doable steps that fit
What You’ll Learn:
- Why it’s never too late to start feeling better in your body
- How to shift out of the “I don’t have time” mindset
- What’s really behind that comparison trap
- The truth about fitness and energy after 40
- Why small actions (like dancing in your kitchen!) matter more than you think
- Two steps you can take today to get unstuck and start strong
