Inner strength is an essential skill that’s necessary for carrying out tasks, making decisions, and achieving goals. Without it, it’s difficult to start anything, and it’s difficult to get to the finish line. Alyssa Ages was able to flip Mack truck tires and walk with 300 pounds on her back. She was the strongest she had ever been, until her body betrayed her. During the process of rebuilding her strength, she began to wonder: What if strength isn’t about how much we can lift, what if it’s about how we manage life’s struggles? Alyssa explains how the pursuit and possession of strength can permeate every aspect of our lives, from building resilience and confidence, to finding joy in discomfort, to teaching us to handle adversity. Alyssa is a journalist whose work has appeared in Wired, Men’s Journal, Publisher’s Weekly, Parents, Spin, and Vibe. She is a former personal trainer and group fitness instructor, as well as a strongman competitor, marathoner, triathlete, and occasional rock climber. She is the author of the book, Secrets of Giants: A Journey to Uncover the True Meaning of Strength.
