Summary

This week I’m so excited to be joined by Sam Lindauer, a mom, physical therapist, and strength training coach on the Ladder app, for a motivating and encouraging conversation all about strength training— especially for women and moms who want to feel stronger, more energized, and more mentally grounded. Sam reminds us that you don’t need perfect conditions, a gym membership, or a ton of free time to get started. She shares some much needed reminders for busy moms about how showing up consistently and giving your body small, intentional challenges over time can still make a big impact. If you’re craving a more doable and sustainable way to feel stronger in your current season of life or even as you approach creating goals for the new year, Sam’s encouragement and practical tips will meet you right where you are.

mom to two and on my own journey of living with a little less clutter so I can have more space

for an intentional life. I'm no expert, and I like to think of this as a corner of the internet where we're learning

and growing together.

1:09.4

over our heads at this time of year, I will say. And I'm just

1:13.3

going to tell you up front right now that the topic is fitness. But please don't go anywhere.

1:19.2

Let me plead my case with this before you turn this off. I hope that if fitness is a topic that you don't love, I hope that this
