We talk with a strong and inspiring powerlifter who overcame tough challenges, including a rare bone disease and serious injuries. Her story shows how strength and courage can lead to success. We talk about how to recover from injuries, how to get stronger safely, and how more women are making their mark in fitness.

We also discuss about how fitness can help your mind and emotions, not just your body. The conversation touches on how social media affects mental health, how coaches help people grow, and why being open and working together matters in the fitness world today.
