In this EP, I’m diving into a powerful conversation inspired by one of my warriors stuck in a cycle of comparison, scrolling through social media and feeling defeated about her body.
Sound familiar?
Together, we explored what it really takes to build a strong, healthy, and beautiful body you love. Spoiler: it’s not quick fixes or unrealistic expectations—it’s about respect, time, and intentional training.
When you’re tempted to compare yourself to fitness influencers, I’ll share two critical questions to ask and explain why honouring your training age and focusing on the right strategies can transform your journey.
If you’ve ever felt frustrated by slow progress or struggled to balance inspiration with comparison, this EP is for you.
Key Takeaways:
- Understand the concept of training age; real progress takes years of consistency.
- Build your foundation with proper nourishment, energy, and recovery.
- Train with intention and intensity to achieve lasting body composition changes.
- Comparing yourself to others without context is unhelpful and often disrespectful.
- Focus on what your body can do, not just how it looks.
- Every woman’s body is unique; your journey is about building the body you love.
- Social media can inspire or trigger; curate your influences wisely.
- Progress takes time—commit to a minimum of 2-5 years for meaningful transformation.
- Training, not casual exercise, is key to building a strong, athletic body.
- Shift the focus from external comparisons to internal growth and resilience.
