This episode isn’t just about fitness—it’s about redefining what’s possible. HYROX challenged me in ways I never expected. It wasn’t just about the workouts or the competition—it was about pushing through pain, breaking mental barriers, and proving that power doesn’t have an expiration date. I’m joined by my training partner Cynthia and our incredible coach, Coach O, to share the real journey: the highs, the hard days, and everything it took to reclaim strength, confidence, and joy in our bodies after 60.
What This Episode Is About
In this episode, we dive into:
- 🏋🏾♀️ What HYROX is and why it became more than a fitness goal for us
- The power of reclaiming your body and identity through strength training
- What training after 60 looks like—mentally, physically, and emotionally
- The unexpected healing, sisterhood, and self-trust built along the way
- The moment we came in last—and why it still felt like a win
- Why building strength is essential, not optional, at this stage of life
You’ll hear real talk about cramps, doubts, breakthroughs, and post-race high fives. It’s honest, inspiring, and proof that “too late” is a myth we’re done believing.
If this episode sparked something in you, share it with a friend who needs to be reminded that her strongest years might still be ahead.
