Episode: 6 Strength Moves Every Perimenopausal Woman Must Master (Plus Why You Can't Skip Them)
Description: In this empowering episode, I share my personal journey from being a "cardio bunny" to embracing strength training as a cornerstone of women's health—especially for those in their 40s and beyond. I break down the myths around cardio, muscle building, and the fear of "getting bulky." We discuss how hormonal changes impact women's bodies and why strength training is essential for metabolic health, confidence, and long-term independence.
