    #186: What equipment do you actually need to start strength training at home?
    Sep 22 2026

    Most women think they need a whole home gym to start strength training.

    That belief holds more beginners back than almost anything else.

    I started in my basement bedroom with a yoga mat and some dumbbells that had been gathering dust under my bed for years.

    In this episode, I share what you actually need to get going:

    • The short list of equipment you need
    • The space requirements
    • How to choose your first dumbbells
    • Dumbbells that let you keep progressing


    Enjoy the show!

  • #185: Why Switching Up Your Workouts Stalls Muscle Growth (The Myth of Muscle Confusion)

    #185: Why Switching Up Your Workouts Stalls Muscle Growth (The Myth of Muscle Confusion)
    Sep 15 2026

    There's a myth that you have to keep switching up your workouts or your muscles get used to them and stop growing. It's called muscle confusion.

    It's not real. It came from people who needed you to keep buying the next workout video.

    In fact, if you actually want to build muscle, you do the opposite: you repeat the same exercises for 8 to 10 weeks and get stronger at them.

    In this episode, I explain:

    • Why constant switching actually stalls your progress,
    • Where variety belongs, and
    • Why soreness was never the goal.

    Enjoy the show!
