    Ep.75: Michelle MacDonald on Rewriting the Rules of Prep, Strength, and Female Leadership

    In this powerful and thought-provoking episode, Sarah sits down with Michelle MacDonald - a world-renowned transformation and prep coach and founder of The Wonder Women, a global movement helping women over 35 reclaim strength, longevity, and confidence. Michelle didn’t start out in fitness. She started late. She rebuilt herself, body and mind, and created a blueprint now used by thousands of women to radically transform their lives. Together, they explore what it means to train for the long game, how to rewire your relationship with strength as you age, the pressures of the competitive stage, and what she would say to her 20-year-old self if she had the chance. This is more than a fitness episode - it’s a conversation about identity, leadership, and building a body that serves your life. What We Cover in This Episode Why Michelle didn’t start competing until later in life - and why that gave her an edge The biggest misconceptions about strength and ageing in women 35+ Her experience stepping onto world stages - and what they don’t tell you about prep What “rebuilding” looks like after decades of neglecting your body Coaching vs competing: how she balances both with integrity Her advice to her 20-year-old self - and what she tells women just starting now What’s next for her mission and her movement Website: michellemacdonaldofficial.com Coaching: https://thewonderwomen.com/ Michelle's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/michellemacdonaldofficial/ Joan (Michelle's Mom's) Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/trainwithjoan/ Tulum Strength club: https://www.instagram.com/tulumstrengthclub/ Stronger by design podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/7uljSBX7oSNQWhDVutk29m ⁠Social Media Coaching, Management & Sponsorships⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Comp Closet Cost Planner⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Comp Closet Marketplace - Buy & Sell Stage Wear⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook Community for Competitors⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Comp Closet Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sarah Moore (Host) Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
