Host Lisa DuPree opens up about her experience training for her first Fit Model bodybuilding competition at age 59. It’s a bold goal that is pushing her to grow in unexpected ways. She reflects on the discomfort, discipline, and mindset shifts that are helping her transform not only her body but also her confidence and sense of purpose.

Lisa shares why setting big goals after 50 is more important than ever, especially for women who may be feeling stuck or uncertain about what's next. She dives into the qualities that are being built on through the experience: inner strength, consistent action, and resilience.

By the end of the episode, you’ll have five practical takeaways to help you step out of your comfort zone and start cultivating the same growth and confidence in your own life — no matter your age or goal.
