#MidlifeMoves #MothersDay

Have you ever downplayed something you worked hard for?
Minimized a win so you wouldn't seem "too much?"
Yeah. Me too.

In this episode of Midlife Moves, we're talking about why we struggle to take credit for our own accomplishments—and why that needs to change.
From writing a letter that landed me an invite to the White House, to showing up every morning at 4am for my fitness goals, I'm finally learning to say:
I did that.
And you should too.

If you've ever shrunk yourself to be more relatable, or brushed off something you should've celebrated—you are not alone.

This is your permission to be proud.

🎧 Listen, share, and tell me: what's one thing you're finally ready to own?

In this episode of Midlife Moves, I'm joined by strength coach and CrossFit athlete Sean Fantuzzi (@seanfan2z) to talk all things lifting, mindset, and why getting strong isn't just for 20-somethings.

We dive into:

• Why women are afraid of "getting bulky" — and why it's a myth

• Injury resiliency vs. prevention

• How to start lifting if you're intimidated

• What "heavy enough" really means

• Why fueling your body (especially with carbs!) matters

• How strength can change how you show up in life — not just in the gym

This one is honest, empowering, and full of laughs. Whether you're already lifting or just strength-curious, you'll walk away feeling encouraged to take up more space — physically and mentally.
